House was great and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the lake view so much! Also enjoyed the nine baby geese that came to visit the yard every morning. We were in town for a graduation and the house was a wonderful home base while visiting with friends and family. Appreciated the fun decor as well.

Overall we had a nice time. The beds are comfortable and the place was clean. The only downside was that we visited during a heat wave and the AC is in an odd location. The AC points directly into the basement and so it does not cool the floor with the bedrooms very well. We had to buy 2 additional box fans to try to get the AC to the bedrooms.

We are sorry that the cooling system didn’t meet your expectations, we were a call away and would have been happy to assist you had we know this was a problem! We will take your suggestion of adding the box fans to help circulate the air.

Our friends live in Brighton, and we rented Crooked cottage because it was 4 minutes to their house. We ended up enjoying the cottage so much! Bed was very comfy, with a beautiful view of the lake! The downstairs family room was a perfect place to hang out and watch a football game by the fire! We would definitely recommend this property! I loved watching the black squirrels, swans, and birds playing in the backyard and lake!

Very neat home on the lake
This home was exactly what we needed for our stay. Two full bathrooms, a nice kitchen area, an amazing basement with living room and kitchenette (that we unfortunately didn't have time to use), and a beautiful outdoor area. We were out and about almost the entire time we were in town, but this home made me wish we would have spent more time at it. 5/5, I would definitely book this location again.

Perfect Lakefront Cottage
The cottage was our home away from home for a week while visiting our cousin who is going to school at UM in Ann Arbor. The home is a short drive (25-30 min) from the Big House, so it was perfect for a UM football weekend.
If you're looking for a quiet escape with EVERYTHING you could think to need for a week on the lake, this is it. Our family of 5 had an amazing trip out from CA. Can't wait to be back.

Super cute and clean lake house
We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties, and this is my favorite. The neighborhood is great for running (or walking), the location on the lake (with a perfect sunset view) is ideal for relaxing in the sun, kayaking, bonfires, and making memories with my family. The house decor is super cute and updated, the beds are comfy, and we loved the extra large space to hang out on the lower level with lots of games and a big table table to play on. There’s also a kitchen downstairs with an extra fridge/freezer, a super comfy couch and chairs for watching movies, bathroom and laundry room, too. The gas grill worked great for cookouts. Really the house had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation, and I highly recommend it.

Perfect Lakeside Vacation Cottage!
This home is so charming and perfectly suited for a lakeside family vacation. We felt instantly at home. The kids (and adults!!!) loved the sandy beach and swimming area and we appreciated how safe and easy it was to watch them have fun! Two fridges, a fully stocked kitchen, a gas grill and a bonus downstairs kitchenette set us up for fun family barbecues and lakeside leisure.
The home was well suited for small children - lots to enjoy (fairy houses! board games! Sand toys!) and sturdy/safe enough that we weren’t too worried.
Dawn and Jim are very friendly and responsive hosts and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and more!!!
We would definitely stay here again and would enthusiastically recommend!

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Dawn Racine
Dawn and Jim have been married for 27 years, both pursued degrees from University of Wisconsin and Ferris State University/Rhode Island School of Design respectably. We met in the Chicago area then moved to Massachusetts, and landed a final destination in Brighton Michigan. We are a family of 4 with two adult boys. Our eldest is a Lieutenant in the US Army and a graduate of MSU, our youngest graduated from University of Dayton and is pursuing a position at Enterprise Corp since graduation in 2020. We have a 9 year old Shorkie named Peaches or Princess Peach, whom is truly one of our family members, no formal education or employment to share except through the blood sweat and tears of renovations she well earned the title of a Comfort Dog.
We love to travel and have experienced many vacation rentals along the way and believe we have anticipated your needs, and hope that you have a 5 star experience
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
We purchased The Little Crooked Cottage at the beginning of June 2022. Since then we spent most days tearing down, rebuilding, and designing a cottage that would provide our guests with a well thought out, esthetically pleasing environment for families to enjoy lakeside living.
Custom designed home for your family to enjoy. The lot is located on the sunset side of the lake. Enjoy this unique location from the inside out! You'll notice that throughout the cottage miniature fairy houses and doors near the baseboards of the home. Using her design skills Dawn received at RISD, she has created a fun space for families and children to explore... Ever read The Barrowers? The TLC has hidden nooks throughout the cottage where evidence of the miniature family may be found. In time - we'll have a book located at the cottage that will help you discover some of these magical moments. In the meantime, in the evening take a moment to read one of the volumes of The Barrowers, to your children available for your reading enjoyment while at our Little Crooked Cottage. Remember to be on the look out for evidence of the Clock Family (Barrowers) during your stay!
We have made some major contributions to this home. Originally the kitchen was in the basement, now the new kitchen with new appliances is upstairs and the lower walkout contains a wet bar with a full size fridge and a dishwasher. We added the upstairs and downstairs deck to gain complete access to the beauty of Little Crooked Lake and all the activities that she can provide. We've added a beach to provide a place for the kids to play and the sun worshipers to walk into the lake for a cool dip. The beach also provides an easy access point to launch the kayaks or paddle board provided by the TLC. Not a sun worshiper, but enjoy the views and a day of lounging? No problem, recline on the private lower deck or relax under the filtered shade of the Locust tree.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
Sunset, private deck with neighbors to the north and an empty lot to the south so there is plenty of room that offers some privacy and room to stretch. Two full baths, 2 dishwasher and 2 refrigerators. Pet friendly with a Kennel provided.
