The location is the best on the lake as it sits across from the sandbar and is a close drive to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Place is very clean. The owners are fantastic and the list responsive of any I’ve ever rented from on VRBO! Also got some good fishing tips from Justin (thanks Justin the boys caught a ton of fish!)

We had the best time! Hosts were awesome, house was nicely updated, fluffy towels, best fresh baked cookies, easy to get to and the lake is clear and beautiful. Having a boat to rent onsite was icing on the cake. Definitely would stay here again.

Very clean cottage with Great Lake location.

This property was very clean and we were very pleased with the location on the lake. With teens ages 12-17 we were able to let them go the sand bar which is right across the lake in the rented kayaks and paddles boards. The owner of as very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Crooked Lake Cottage

We are a group of four friends who take a girls trip every year. The house was perfect for us. We had our own bedroom. The accommodations were lovely. And you can’t beat the view from the deck. Everything was flawless. The host even left us cookies, which we devoured we definitely recommend this house. It was close to everything. We had a wonderful time.

Fall fishing and color tour!

This is a great find!! You get the combination of private lake view and you’re close to restaurants and grocery stores. The owners were excellent, communication before and during our stay made it easy to navigate. The home is 100% as you see it on line. Clean, plenty of space. The kitchen is equipped so no worries,! The home is located on Crooked Lake so lake access is in your back yard. The dock is large is perfect and was a great hole for my fishing boat. We would absolutely stay here again.

Crooked lake relaxation

The property was perfect for our vacation needs. We ate outside for every meal, barbequed often.The location is excellent for biking, fishing, boating. Lots of property for lawn activities. We enjoyed nightly campfires, daily boating and fishing. Jaunts into Petsokey, Bay Harbor and Indian River were very convenient. The owners were very prompt with any questions we had. We rented their pontoon, kayaks and paddle boards. The kayaks and boards were excellent quality. The pontoon needs some aesthetic TLC but it didn't stop us from enjoying our water excursions. THanks Jessica and Justin for a great week!
