About this property

Grand Old Cottage

This traditional turn of the century cottage is on Crooked Lake. Large wrap around front porch and side yard. This grand old cottage has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, large living room, dining room which seats 10, large kitchen with butchers block, maids room, and laundry. Food pantry, pan pantry, and glass pantry are just a few examples of the amenities of this old cottage. There is plenty of room for a large family. Cable in living room and maids room. Large side yard for croquet, badminton , or volleyball. Sunning platform at the end of dock. This cottage has been in our family for three generations, but we are offering it to you for a few weeks this summer. Great place to bring the family together and start your own Northern Michigan tradition. We are close to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinaw City providing a large selection of shopping, dining and golf. Miles of bike trails just steps from the cottage. Two marinas on the lake for boat rentals to enjoy the historic inland waterway, ultimately connecting you to the Great Lakes.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
