Map & Owner's Profile
Kalkaska-Crawford Lake Cottage-Northern Mi. Charm-with Class!!
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Kalkaska
We purchased our cottage not only for its location, but also the fact it was and is in such great condition. We did paint and update the furnishings, counter top, bath vanity, Hardwood floors and so forth, and actually enjoyed every minute of it. Sitting at night on the north end of the lake, with a fire in the fire pit and the clear Northern MI. sky was wonderful while we were renting, before we purchased it and even better when we bought it! Its so close to T.City, Torch Lake and Boyne MT. we felt it was and is a great base for Northern Mi. exploring. Mackinaw Bridge/Island is 2-hrs away, making a great day trip.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Our cottage and lake in general is a very quiet area that you can relax and go about your buisness as you wish, the lake is not crowded and great for pontoon boating and small speed boating, along with fishing.Our dock is 2-years old with a nice wide sun platform on the end to sit and relax with a book. We also enjoy going to Twin Birch Golf (Mark) is a GREAT guy who owns Twin Birch and the resturant (Birdies Pub) has excellent food,it is only 6-miles from the cottage.
You wont find alot of "rules and regulations" at our cottage, we ask our guests to treat it, as you would your own, respect the neighbors and quiet time and have a wonderful time. Pets are welcome, PLEASE clean up after them however.
