The location is the best on the lake as it sits across from the sandbar and is a close drive to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Place is very clean. The owners are fantastic and the list responsive of any I’ve ever rented from on VRBO! Also got some good fishing tips from Justin (thanks Justin the boys caught a ton of fish!)

We had the best time! Hosts were awesome, house was nicely updated, fluffy towels, best fresh baked cookies, easy to get to and the lake is clear and beautiful. Having a boat to rent onsite was icing on the cake. Definitely would stay here again.

Very clean cottage with Great Lake location.

This property was very clean and we were very pleased with the location on the lake. With teens ages 12-17 we were able to let them go the sand bar which is right across the lake in the rented kayaks and paddles boards. The owner of as very responsive and easy to communicate with. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend to everyone.

Crooked Lake Cottage

We are a group of four friends who take a girls trip every year. The house was perfect for us. We had our own bedroom. The accommodations were lovely. And you can’t beat the view from the deck. Everything was flawless. The host even left us cookies, which we devoured we definitely recommend this house. It was close to everything. We had a wonderful time.
