Luxurious Vacation Cottage - Minutes From Ski Resorts And Steps From The Lake!

You will fall in love with this charming, completely remodeled Northern Michigan getaway. This dream cottage is just steps from Crooked Lake, directly adjacent to the Petoskey–Mackinaw Bike Path, and less than 10 minutes from local ski resorts—making it perfect for skiers, anglers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom with no expense spared, this mid-century home offers a truly luxurious and relaxing escape from the everyday grind—without sacrificing comfort or style.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Kline

Host profile image
This house was built in 1938 by our late uncle, Robert "Pinky" Kline who was a World War II veteran and renown area hunter and fisherman. Pinky hunted and fished every corner of North America, and was successful in bagging all the big game he set his sights on.

After Pinky passed we bought the house and brought it back to its past glory plus some. We wanted to keep the original charm while taking it to a more modern place. We absolutely love this house and the area. Our family consists my wife, two young children and myself. We have put a lot of love and hard work into this restoration and we hope you truly enjoy as much as we do.

Go bless and come stay anytime!
