About this property
Crooked Lake Cottage with sandy swimming beach
One of six privately owned cottages on Crooked Lake in a family oriented park-like setting located near the popular sand bar. This cottage is full of natural light in a comfy, pine interior with all of the necessary amenities. This is the perfect place for all seasons.
The cute one bedroom, large loft (that includes 2 queen beds), and two full bathroom cottage sleeps six. The kitchen is well stocked for whatever you can imagine you might need.
450 feet of shared waterfront frontage and half is a sandy beach. Shallow and sandy bottom water makes for the BEST and safest swimming on Crooked Lake. Relax and kick back in the evening by roasting marshmallows from one of the multiple bonfire pits.
The Little Traverse Wheelway bike trail can be accessed just across the street from our cottage. Enjoy a great bike ride to Petoskey or the cute town of Alanson, just 3 miles north.
If you prefer a walk, there is a one mile walkway past the historic homes of Crooked Lake, which begins just down the street from the cottage. Our comfortable resort also includes volleyball, small basketball court, and horseshoes. You can really relax here!
There is a boat slip in private marina included with cottage rental. Just let us know if you're considering bringing a boat! Jet skis can be anchored in shallow water off the beach. Cottage is approx. 100 feet from the beach and lake.
The cottage comes with the use of 2 parking spots on the road side of the cottage. The spot in front is for the owners but won’t be used very often.
Lots of restaurants, golfing, and shopping close by-and only minutes from Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob. The Odawa Resort casino is only 15 minutes from cottage and Mackinac Island is only 30 miles away. A great location!
The beach and park-like setting with boat docking makes this a unique vacation property. If you need more space, we also own property #1502387, which sleeps 8. Reserve now to rent this cozy cottage only seven miles from Petoskey and nine miles from Harbor Springs!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Megan Cole
Tom and Megan Cole have lived locally in Petoskey for over 20 years. We've spent 10 summers on Crooked on our pontoon and have been looking for the right spot to call a vacation home.
Why they chose this property
Crooked Lake is a great lake for diversity and family fun--- the sand bar, the Black Hole, fishing, all types of wildlife, the locks and the swinging bridge in Alanson. The setting that Water's Edge provides allows for a little of everything while still being very convenient to Petoskey and Harbor Springs.
What makes this property unique
The proximity of this property to the sandbar as well as the great boat slip makes water adventures an easy escape. If you choose to stay put, the swimming beach is the best on the lake.
