About this property

Cozy Bear Cottage with adorable Lake and Bear décor, 25 mi S. of Mackinaw City

Nestled in Crooked Lake, this delightful cottage is a peaceful retreat for guests seeking a serene getaway.

Relax on the enclosed front porch, complete with a smart Roku TV. For the fishing enthusiasts, grab a fishing pole and a tackle box and walk down to the water. Round out your day with a board game or cards from the available supply or a sit down in the dry sauna.

Cozy up amidst the bear themed décor before a warming fire in the rock gas fireplace underneath a vaulted ceiling. Dining for 6 at this lakeside cottage will satisfy all your vacation desires.

A full kitchen with ample amenities will make this your home-away-from-home. And the kitchen wouldn't be complete without the stocked Keurig coffee bar.

More inclined to embrace the outdoor experience? Fire up the patio grill or nestle around the firepit in one of the colorful Adirondack chairs. Grab a book and climb into the hanging bench swing on the porch.

Don't over pack - Washer and dryer are available for your convenience.

We hope you fall in love with Crooked Lake and enjoy all the beauty it has to offer - just like us.

About the host

Hosted by Misty Hill

Host profile image
I live in Missouri, but my family has owned this cottage for over 50 years. We want to share our beautiful cottage with others so they can experience the beauty of Crooked Lake and all the fun things to do within 30 miles of our cottage.

Why they chose this property

Crooked Lake is a great place for family fun. We have a black hole, fishing, the lock, a swing bridge in Alanson; we can kayak around the island, and there are all types of wildlife. Don't forget to stop by the Dutch Oven in Alanson to get your fresh cinnamon bread.

What makes this property unique

We love the water, fishing, golfing; how close it is to Mackinac Island (grab your fudge), Mackinaw City where you can see the Mackinac bridge while eating Alice's caramel corn, Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Charlevoix. This is truly a treasure in Northern Michigan
