Beautiful Lakefront Home- Crooked Lk-Petoskey/Harbor Springs/Nubs- boat/bike/ski

This iconic home sits on beautiful Crooked Lake just north of Petoskey and west of Harbor Springs. You are just minutes from shopping in the Gaslight District of Petoskey or strolling the streets and shops of beautiful Harbor Springs. Historic Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, and the Mackinac Bridge are 45 minutes north.
In the summer months, you can enjoy relaxing by the lake or take a kayak, paddle board or rent a boat to go out on the water. If you own a boat, there is a private dock available.
This location is just 5-10 minutes from Lake Michigan and has quick access to local biking, hiking, and snowmobile trails. This location is also a winter haven for the snow enthusiasts, with ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice skating, snow shoeing, and cross country skiing. Additionally, you are just down the road from some of the best down hill skiing in the Midwest at Nubs Nob, Highlands of Harbor Springs, and a short 20 minute drive from Boyne Mountain.
Crooked Lake is connected to the Inland Water Ways which can take you to Burt Lake, Pickerel Lake, Mullet Lake, and even Lake Huron and Lake Michigan if you are up for it.
Enjoy the early morning sunrises and after a fun filled day, an evening campfire.

Great location, biking, water sports, golf…. This property is clearly loved by the owners and it feels like it is your private lake house rather than a “rental”. Clean, spacious and up to date. A real gem.

Awesome place to stay!

We plan a ski weekend with our adult kids and their spouses every year. Unfortunately we never got to the slopes because of the poor winter weather conditions in the midwest this year. HOWEVER this Lake House was a god-sen. We were able to spread out and be comfortable playing games, cooking, talking, watching Rugby on TV, and sleeping. It helped that this VBRO was the best equipped rental we have ever stayed at. I kinda wish it was summer so we could have taken advantage of the lakefront and lake. But the view was awesome. There seems to be plenty to do in town and the surrounding area. We did walk downtown Petoskey then visited a winery out side of town. No question best rental we have stayed at and would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed here with our kids ages 1-9 and plenty to keep them busy with the beach, paddle boards, kayaks. Love the location close to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey.

We are still smiling after our stay here. There is something to offer for everyone from 1 year to 80 years of age at this cottage. There were plenty of kayaks and even a paddle boat. The little ones loved playing in the water and fishing off the dock. The house was updated, very clean and spacious. Communication from the owner was top notch. Thank you Clark!

Fantastic place to stay - Crooked Lake Haven - Oden, MI

From start to finish this was an incredible easy and fun filled experience.Before booking I had some questions on parking, dockage etc., and Clark and Kate very very quickly, (within an hour max., mostly within 20 minutes thoroughly answered eachquestion)The house was very clean, well set up with various amenities, lots of cups, dishes, plates, pots, pans, etc., for cooking. Many jigsaw puzzles and games for a rainy day, which luckily we did not incur. Also had a basket with dog items, big tub with beach kid toys, kayaks, pedal boat, paddle board, great beach and dock.The covered porch and the lake room with huge windows was our favorite. Having early morning coffee and watching the ducks, swans, loons from the porch was a nice reason to rise early. That along with seeing a beautiful sunrise over the lake. Only improvement would be to possibly have some more life preservers for kayaking, and other water activities, or in property description notify guests bring these as needed for their group.

4th of July on Crooked Lake

It was a great trip. We got to spend time with the kids and grandkids. The house was great with the open floor plans so that we could all hang out and talk having the dock was good also to launch the boat. The Homeowners keep the house very neat and clean.
