Lakefront Vacation home 2800 Sq/ft. Includes kayaks and canoes

We’d love to share our home with you—a place our family has truly enjoyed for getting away from it all, savoring the outdoors, and spending time together away from distractions. We do provide WIFI and a couple of televisions for family movie nights or catching up on a favorite show. But if you’re looking for more tech-driven comforts and climate controls, this might not be the right fit for your getaway.

Our spacious 2800 sq/ft home has been designed to maximize the beauty of the surrounding outdoors, with large windows, vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, and expansive views across Crooked Lake and the protected state land beyond. Whether you’re here to unplug, to get active, or to enjoy peaceful moments by the water, there’s something for everyone.

Highlights of the Home:

- Two living areas for gathering—our downstairs media room has a 65-inch HDTV and a collection of classic DVDs, while the upstairs offers a cozy space for reading or conversation.
- Workout room (17 x 20 feet) with equipment for those who like to stay active—treadmill, weights, Nordic Track, and a heavy bag.
- Private dock on this quiet, no-wake lake with two kayaks and a canoe available for your use. Paddle out in peace with no Jet Skis or speedboats to interrupt the tranquility.
- Fire pit by the shore—perfect for evenings spent sharing stories under the stars.
- Concrete half-court basketball area for some friendly competition.
- Lake views from nearly every room.
- Washer, dryer, all linens and cooking essentials provided to keep things simple.
- Three bathrooms to comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests.

Also on our one-acre property you’ll find a two-and-a-half car garage with a small workshop. Please note that the garage must be manually opened. We also have a dog kennel for hunting dogs - this is getting a bit old, but reach out and we can share more pictures and details.

The area is an expansive outdoor space for running, hiking, or simply soaking in the natural setting. I grew up running and hiking the roads and trails between Crooked Lake and Avery Lake with my late father and friends. Feel free to ask for suggested routes if you are keen to hit the trails.

Come explore the charm of three nearby small towns, enjoy northern Michigan’s attractions without the crowds, and relax by the quiet waters of Crooked Lake. Golf courses, elk viewing tours, biking, and hundreds of miles of trails are all just a short drive (or paddle) away. We are a day trip to Mackinaw City and the ferry to the 7,000-acre Mackinaw State Park. and perfect for hiking, paddling, fishing, and watching for local wildlife—you might even see elk feeding along the edge of the woods.

We invite you to come enjoy the peace and quiet as we do—slow down, disconnect, and make lasting memories in the woods and on the water.

If you crave all the latest technology or need more extensive entertainment systems, this probably isn’t the best fit. But if you’re longing for the simplicity of quality time together, fresh air, and a true Up-North Michigan experience, we think you’ll love it as much as we do.

Maximum occupancy: 10 people. See more visuals of the home and lake here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8ZkbcMRdfY

This was my first time doing something like this. Always some hesitation, making sure pictures are real and that safety is always number 1. Place was beautiful, comfortable, beautifully kept, clean and accessible The surrounding area was quiet. The access to the lake was a blessing. This I would do again.

The location and most everything about the cabin was fine. However, Window air conditioners were not installed so in fact it was not air-conditioned. There was some cleanliness issues in the bathrooms. The duct tape on the headboard is still there (I read a review from 2016 that mentioned it). The two guest rooms with Trumble beds were uncomfortable and made a lot of noise. The workout equipment is non-usable. Not a bad place, but I had higher expectations for the price point. I will say the kitchen was well appointed. The lake is beautiful and quiet.

Disappointed

Tried to message privately, but was unable to they VRBO. For the price charged, this was a disappointment. There is/was animal feces on the floor in the weight room, stained sheets on one of the beds, and when I went to find new ones, dirty unfolded linen was shoved into the dresser drawers. The king bed was made up with flannel sheets, and with no other apparent clean ones, we had to use those in the middle of July. Fixtures were falling off of the walls, and wall paper falling down in a bathroom. The jacuzzi tub was filthy, one of the reclining chair had fabric that was literally shredded and dangling on the side and back, and a ladder, totes and rugs shoved into a corner of one bedroom. Bed frame was duck taped together and a dresser mirror just sitting in the floor, not to mention the huge cobweb in the dining room window. If there is someone else caring for this, it needs a lot of work to be charging that much per night.

Labor Day Weekend

We stayed for the long holiday weekend. The house is spacious and comfortable. We had 4 adults and 2 teenagers and we had plenty of room. The lake is awesome, and we loved kayaking.

Cozy, peaceful Family Getaway

We stayed at Papa Bear for 3 nights and 4 days. Marc was communicative and helpful. We had access to all the boats--the kayaks were the highlight of our trip! The lake is stunning. The house has all the supplies you need. There were trundle beds in the bedroom, so we fit everybody comfortably, and the kids really enjoyed the downstairs excercise room! The private dock was also a very peaceful spot. We enjoyed a bonfire in the lakeside firepit and a barbecue on the big deck. The house has games and DVDs as well as a smart TV, which added to our vacation time. The master bedroom is beautiful and overlooks the lake with big windows. Everything was designed with comfort and family in mind. It was very peaceful and cozy and there were plenty of blankets and sheets for all. Marc is very kind and did not invade at all but was there when needed. I would reccommend this vacation home for any family!

Great time..

We had a great time at Papa Bear on Crooked Lk. The kids fished off the dock, kayaked and went for a boat ride with me. We visited Clear Lake State Park to swim one day, and also used the beach on Croocked Lake a couple times. At night we sat around the fire and listened to owls, loons, and other wildlife under a star filled sky. The house/cabin was plenty big enough for all of us. The common space down stairs was a favorite of the kids to watch TV at night. Having 3 bathrooms was a plus also. The property manager was extremely responsive, and very helpful when I had questions. Only downsides are no beach at cabin for young kids to play(which we knew about going in), and the dock is old and in need of repair. I only gave 4 stars on cleanliness, because it was clean enough for me, but my wife thought it was a bit dusty, and was not a fan of the cobwebs that were in the corners. Other than that it was pretty clean. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a relaxing time in northern Michigan!

Great getaway

Marc is very responsive to inquiries even during your stay. The property has everything you’d need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The serene lake is just the thing for a relaxing yet fun time. You have access to several boats and motors. There’s a hot tub and fire pit and a couple of grills. Marc has thought if it all!

Pleasant, relaxing, quiet

Our family spent a week here and had a very nice time. Marc was very helpful, and the lake was crystal clear and clean. Tall pine trees, a big deck, a dock out in the water, and plenty of kayaks made this a very relaxing spot. Had a couple of loons on the lake, plus fish, crayfish, and turtles.

Summer Time Pike Fishing Vacation

The lake view was beautiful, particularly in the mornings and evenings with the Loons present. The fishing was great. The cabin was great. The only negative was not being able to have the kids swim at the dock area due to the large snapper turtles.

Papa Bear was "just right!"

Papa Bear was "just the right size" for our group. We happen to be there the weekend of the Perseids meteor shower, to sit on the boat and watched the shooting stars was fantastic!

Wonderful family retreat

We live in Northwest Kansas and booked this cabin to get together with our kids and grandkids and this was a central location for everyone. We are so glad we did, the house was clean and well kept. The views from the house were wonderful and the lake was quiet and clean.... We fished, kayaked, went to the beach with the grandkids, took a day trip to Mackinac Island....just overall it was a great time.....the whole transaction went smooth and Marc was helpful with any questions we had...I would definitely stay here again...Great family memories....

Amazing family getaway

We stayed at papa bear for 4 days. My husband turned 30 and thought it would be nice to celebrate with our families. The cabin was nice, plenty of space to accompdate all of us. The lake view from the deck was amazing . We really enjoyed nighs around the fire overseeing the lake. The owner, Marc was very understanding when it came to our little furry friend( really hard to find a cabin that is pet friendly). Unfortunatly, the pantoon was not available (was not working) for out stay there, but we took full advantage of the 2 kayaks. The water was nice and wam and we swam a lot. The bedrooms were large enough where we could all fit. Our family had the BEST vacation ever and we reslly enjoyed the property. We eill definetly come back.

Poor, at best

We arrived at Papa Bear July 8, 2016 around 4pm. Our property tour came to a stop when I stepped on a soaked rug in flooded basement bathroom. We immediately notified the owner who sent his helper to look. We left so he could fix it. Went to dinner at Elk cafe (good food) & grocery shopped before returning around 8pm. Unfortunately, the flooded bathroom was still not fixed or cleaned. We continued our tour and realized the walls, door handles, sinks & counter tops were FILTHY. Luckily, I packed bleach wipes, so I could clean. The closets & drawers had items in them as if someone lives there full time. The fringe & freezer had expired food, ceiling fans were dangling, lots of exposed electrical sockets all over the house, duct tape holding a headboard together & used cover holes. The AC is NOT central air. There are a few window AC units, but didn't the use them due to the dirt. There are several missing screens and broken windows that wouldn't open. The pontoon boat was a deck boat with lawn chairs and the dock was sinking in the water. We finally left at midnight because 2 mice were in the living room. Even though it was midnight, we immediately called the owner owner, Marc, but his voice mail wasn't set up. We emailed him to call asap. He finally called later the next day after we left. We discussed all the reasons for leaving. He was aware of the problems, including the mice, but said he set traps and the pontoon was up to code! He kept our deposit, but refunded the rest of the payment. This "home"is completely unsanitary, unacceptable and unsafe -especially for a 3mo baby, 3 & 5 yr old kids. I would NOT recommend this property.

Dream Vacation

In our attempt to leave the heat of south central Texas we headed to Michigan for some family outdoor fun. We fished Crooked lake off the dock and in the boats. We ventured over to Avery lake as well for some fishing. We also took a guided fishing trip on Lake Superior. Atlanta is the perfect spot to be based out of and take a day trip here and there to experience some outdoor fun. We also went to Mackinac Island for the day. Wonderful! Brunch at the Grand Hotel is a must. The weather, scenery, and friendly locals enhanced our enjoyment of our family vacation. We ate at Elk Crossing Cafe for breakfast, lunch, and supper on various days. The food was good, wait staff friendly, reasonably priced, and conviently located. Pappa Bear was perfect for our family. It was clean and well maintained. The owner provided good customer service. I recommend this VRBO.

Great place to get away from it all!

Everyone had a relaxing time on the beautiful property, enjoying the fresh air, nature, and beautiful views. It was a good trip to end the summer. It's very likely that we will return next year and try out one of the other properties owned by Marc.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Drew Edwards

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
This home has been in our family for three decades. I grew up swimming, kayaking, and fishing around Crooked Lake. As I got older, I joined my late father who created running routes from and near our home. The space is large and we work to keep it up to date, recently expanding the deck around the house for a more full view of the lake and for more space to accommodate guests.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We chose Atlanta precisely because it is NOT as popular as other towns across Northern Michigan. You have everything you need in Atlanta, but will have to drive about an hour if you want anything more than that. In recent years, Alpena and Gaylord have been our go to for nearly everything beyond the scope of the area.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

The view across the lake from our home is largely state conservation land, sans one house.
