About this property

The Crooked Lake Escape

Sandy Private Beach & Multi-Level Living on Peaceful Crooked Lake!

The Space:
Experience the best of Northern Michigan in this sprawling 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat. Tucked away in a quiet, peaceful setting just outside of Lake City, this home is designed for families who want to trade the noise of everyday life for the gentle sounds of Crooked Lake.

Waterfront Living:
The star of the show is your private sandy beach. Whether you’re building sandcastles with the kids, launching a kayak, or soaking up the sun, the clear waters of Crooked Lake are just steps from your back door.

Spacious Multi-Level Layout:
With sleeping space across two levels, there is plenty of room for everyone to find their own corner of paradise.

Main Level: Features a private Master Suite and a convenient half-bath.

Lake Level: Designed for fun and functionality, the lower level features:

A secondary King Bedroom with lake views.

A fun "Bonus Room" perfect for kids, featuring two twin beds with trundles.

A shared Master Suite with a full bath.

A second living area with two sleeper sofas—ideal for movie nights or extra guests.

Four Seasons of Adventure:
No matter the time of year, Crooked Lake delivers. Enjoy peak summer vibes on the water, breathtaking fall colors, or use the cottage as your winter basecamp for nearby snowmobiling and skiing at Caberfae Peaks. Just a short drive into Lake City puts you in the heart of local dining, shopping, and the famous Tasty Treat!
