Summer Getaway - Cozy Log Cabin right on Crooked Lake Waterfront

Life is better at the cabin! Fishing? Hiking? Biking? Swimming? Boating? Winetasting? Fall colors? Skiing? Snowshoeing? Winter biking? Or maybe you just want to "work from home" at a vacation getaway (yes, we have wifi)! Whatever is calling you Up North, this is a perfect cozy retreat! Located right on Crooked Lake, we're just minutes from Petoskey & Harbor Springs..

This cozy, rustic, log cabin sits lakeside on Crooked Lake. With one bedroom (full-size bed) and a pullout couch (queen-sized bed) in the living area, this is the ideal up-north getaway for a couple or small family. Located just minutes from Petoskey and Harbor Springs, this is a great, central location up north, and on the water. This is one of several cabins and cottages that share appx 200' of waterfront. Small bathroom. This is one of the only cottages in the association with central heat and a washer and dryer for guests. Dockage available for pontoon or fishing boat (only 1 trailer parking area for all cabins, please RESERVE with me before bringing your trailer so I can reserve the parking area, dock is in mid-May through mid-Oct). Cabin is 350 sq ft and features an idyllic setting to enjoy incredible sunrises and great sun throughout the day. No A/C, but great lake breezes. Unlike some options in the area, we provide a full sized refrigerator, stove top for cooking, and a gas furnace - plus outdoor grill, firepit, and relaxing views. Pedal boat available for summer use.

It's time to RELAX... Wake up to fresh morning breezes, pop in a k-cup in the keurig, and enjoy a cup of coffee in an adirondack chair overlooking the lake. Connect to the bluetooth radio and play some music while birdwatching with binoculars. Make some burgers on the grill and sit around the picnic table for lunch. Take the pedal boat out and visit the sandbar for some water fun (located right across from the cabin). Then cozy up around a campfire and tell stories about what it was like when you were a "kid at the family cabin".

Located minutes from The Highlands at Boyne and Nubs Nob. A wide, paved bike path connecting Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, this area, and north towards Mackinaw is just steps away--great for biking, running, or walking. The "North Western State Trail" portion, can be found right across the street from the cabin. This trail offers a 7.5-mile stretch of scenic 10-foot wide paved asphalt path - great for bicycles, strollers, roller skates, and more. The trail begins at Spring Lake Park on M-119, skirts the shores of four inland lakes, passes through the lakeside hamlets of Conway and Oden.

Crooked Lake is a great all-sports lake with ample year-round fishing, great waterskiing, and lots of areas to explore. Crooked Lake is part of the inland waterway that connects to Lake Huron through Burt and Mullett Lakes. It is a great lake for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or just boating and swimming.

Day trips to Mackinaw Island, golfing, or wineries are all close and easy.

Wonderful week at Crooked Lake
We stayed for 1 week in June 2024 at this cozy cabin and had a great time. We were 1 adult and 2 kids for the first half of the week and then 2 adults and 2 kids for the last 3 nights. The cabin had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. It is 6 steps to the lake and we rented a small fishing boat from the local marina for the week. Caught a ton of fish! The grocery store is 7 minutes away and Petoskey and Harbor Springs only 10-15 minutes. Perfect location and a very relaxing time. Can't wait to return!

Perfect getaway
This property was just what we were looking for! The cabin was adorable and had everything we needed. My son loves to fish and being able to walk out on the dock and cast a line was right up his alley. The hammock with the view was outstanding. I was relaxed and refreshed after our stay!

Terrific rustic cabin
Great spot to go boating. We used the cabin for sleeping and breakfast. Great for 2 people or if you had little ones for the roll out couch. It's on a busy road but you're right on the lake so that's the best.

Great litlle place on the water!
It was quaint and cozy and very clean! It was close to two restaurants and a short drive to Petoskey. Great for 2 people but we do recommend that with 4 people, bring a blow up mattress. The pull out couch wasn't unbearable but for an adult, a tad uncomfortable. Having a washer/dryer was awesome! We will being staying there again. One more thing..don't plan on swimming off the dock. It's very weedy but there's a great sandbar 400 yards across the channel. We brought our boat so we planned on being out on that. The dock is new and great! It's a great stay!

Quiet little cabin on the lake
During our stay there was only one other couple occupying another cabin. The owner provided a pair of lawn chairs upon our request which made it much easier to move about rather than trying to move the Adirondack chairs. The water for showers was tepid, not real warm. Laundry facilities within the cabin were helpful. The lake is shallow in front of the cabin. A boat would be recommended for fishing. Very quiet on the lake. Mostly respectful except the occasional jet ski.
