About this property

Quaint Family lake cottage w/beach, dock,internet on all sports Crawford Lake

Stunning lake views and peaceful pine trees greet you at our lakeside get away for kids, friends and families. Whether you’re looking for the perfect setting for a family summer vacation on the lake; a homebase for your snow mobile adventure, a reunion with old friends or a Fall/Winter weekend retreat, you’ll feel like you’re a world away from your day-to-day life. If you're not ready to be completely away, you can also work remotely with our internet, which we've tested for video conferencing and remote work-- it's ready for you!

Cook family style meals in our kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, spices and basics like olive oil and salt/pepper and make yourself at home in our three cozy bedrooms, one with kid-friendly bunkbeds. Brand new washer/dryer will come in handy after outdoor activities.

Wake up to a pot full of coffee from a regular machine or a French press or choose one of the many teas we stock in the cabinets. Wine snobs welcome—we have an electric wine set and a cheeseboard to go with it, along with lots of games, decks of cards, candles and entertainment to make memories during your stay. The living room brings the outside in with three walls of glass and stunning views of the lake and pine trees—enjoy family time on the ample couches with multiple blankets and pillows while connecting easily to multiple streaming services on the TV.

Outside is as fun as inside! Roast s’mores at the fire pit, fish from the dock, wade into the lake from the sandy beach, bring your boat or use our 2 kayaks and bikes. Crawford is a shallow lake with a sandy bottom with small private sandy beach perfect for little kids.

Easy to reach from Chicago, Detroit or anywhere in Michigan. 35 minutes to all the attractions of Traverse City, 5 minutes to conveniences in Kalkaska such as a year-round farmers market, full grocery store, houses of worship and multiple restaurants. Close to ORV / snowmobile trails, 3 golf courses within 10 minutes.

When you arrive, look for the yellow garage with a large sunflower next to the mailbox (see photo!),
