Beautiful Lakefront Home- Crooked Lk-Petoskey/Harbor Springs/Nubs- boat/bike/ski

This iconic home sits on beautiful Crooked Lake just north of Petoskey and west of Harbor Springs. You are just minutes from shopping in the Gaslight District of Petoskey or strolling the streets and shops of beautiful Harbor Springs. Historic Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, and the Mackinac Bridge are 45 minutes north.
In the summer months, you can enjoy relaxing by the lake or take a kayak, paddle board or rent a boat to go out on the water. If you own a boat, there is a private dock available.
This location is just 5-10 minutes from Lake Michigan and has quick access to local biking, hiking, and snowmobile trails. This location is also a winter haven for the snow enthusiasts, with ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice skating, snow shoeing, and cross country skiing. Additionally, you are just down the road from some of the best down hill skiing in the Midwest at Nubs Nob, Highlands of Harbor Springs, and a short 20 minute drive from Boyne Mountain.
Crooked Lake is connected to the Inland Water Ways which can take you to Burt Lake, Pickerel Lake, Mullet Lake, and even Lake Huron and Lake Michigan if you are up for it.
Enjoy the early morning sunrises and after a fun filled day, an evening campfire.

We stayed here with our kids ages 1-9 and plenty to keep them busy with the beach, paddle boards, kayaks. Love the location close to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey.

In the area for a wedding. Great home base. Central location to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Loved the view of the swans on the lake every morning fishing. Charming atmosphere and very kid friendly with a step stool even for the kitchen - loved that. Highly suggest this property.

Clark, Kate, and Heidi could not have been better hosts! So accommodating and friendly— Kate responded so promptly to all of our messages!The house is exactly as pictured, very clean and fully stocked. The lake is lovely with swans visiting us every day. The largest swans I’ve ever seen! It was delightful to take my morning coffee on the back porch or even on the dock and watch them fish. This is a beautiful area to visit, and we could not have asked for a better location as our home base. We would definitely stay stay here again when we’re in the area!

We are still smiling after our stay here. There is something to offer for everyone from 1 year to 80 years of age at this cottage. There were plenty of kayaks and even a paddle boat. The little ones loved playing in the water and fishing off the dock. The house was updated, very clean and spacious. Communication from the owner was top notch. Thank you Clark!

We rented the lake house for a soccer tournament in Petoskey and it was absolutely wonderful! Tons of space and amenities… truly a great experience. The bunk beds and huge couch in the game/tv room were a big hit with the players. Grill worked fabulous as we cooked a ton of chicken and brats on it for a team bbq. Kitchen had everything you could need to cook up a storm. Parking enough for 4 vehicles. Clark and Kate were amazing hosts and really did a great job with communicating and providing for a great experience. We are actually sad that this is our last year at the tournament as we really wanted to rent this home again. Instructions for the home were detailed and easy to follow. Loved the history of the home and family! Thank you so much Clark and Kate!

Great vacation spot

The house and property were exactly as advertised. Spectacularly clean and every accommodation you would hope for. We enjoyed the fire pit each night and had excellent luck fishing off the dock in the early evening. Just a couple minutes from Petoskey was the perfect location. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
