The Lake House on Crooked Lake

Our stay at the Lake house was a good one. It accomadated the 7 of us quite well. We enjoyed the fishing off the dock. Caught several different species of fish. The dozen of swans were amazing to watch every day. The sunsets were very colorful. The area was very peaceful and quiet. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

The Lake House was more than we'd hoped for!

We had the best week at Sherrie and Norman's Lake House! The house is cute and the decor puts you in the lake life mode right away. We flew into MI from out of state, so we were traveling light, but the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - the kitchen had all of the tools and dishes that we needed, the appliances worked well, the house had lots of comfy furniture and space for everyone to enjoy being together, there was a whole shelf of games and cabinet of movies to enjoy, the location right on the water was just what we had hoped for, and Sherrie and Norman were great hosts. Thank you both for making our Michigan summer vacation dreams a reality.

Nice lake house...

The property is nice; cozy and inviting. The king suite could use a mattress update, and the showers are a bit cramped, but other than that the property is good. Great location, feet from the lake, great accommodations. Owner is very friendly, and worked with us on any requests.

Wonderful Fall Getaway

What a lovely and perfect place for a fall family trip! The kids had a blast fishing from the dock and kayaking in the lake. We took advantage of the boat available for rent and spent plenty of time cruising the lake in comfort! Sherrie was very sweet and helpful, and we appreciated her tips and tricks of the lake. We would definitely book with her again!

Relaxing lake house!

I grew up in Michigan staying at cottages around the state, so for me, this was like coming home. The lake house has all the charm and history of an old cottage but is completely refinished, with all the modern amenities. The best of both worlds! We stayed in the winter, so no swimming :). But I loved sitting on the large living room sectional and looking out over the ice. Very healing at a busy time of the year. The owner was easy to reach and attentive, the rooms are comfortably furnished, and the place was very clean. Super easy to check in and check out.

Family Time

We had a wonderful time staying in this home. The location, size, and lake time made for a relaxing and fun family vacation. The owner did everything they could to make us feel welcome and was in contact if needed. My grand kids loved the sand and swimming with the fish! 🙂 They town has that small town helpful feel and we really enjoyed the ice cream. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Wonderful renovated cottage on lake

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this charming renovated cottage on a lake with a dock. Great swimming location. Saw lots of wild life, including two families of swans. The kitchen is well equipped, one of the best of all of the places we have rented. Sherrie was delightful and responsive; she even called to make sure we didn't need anything. We will stay at this location again.
