Northern Michigan 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 for chilly nights - 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. Just steps away is a wide, paved bike path connecting Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, this area, and north towards Mackinaw--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 (year round), kayaking, paddleboarding, or just boating and swimming.
Day trips to Mackinaw Island, golfing, or wineries are all close and easy.

We had a wonderful time and the cottage was AWESOME! It is small but mighty in amenities. It was provisioned so well. So very cozy and the bed and pull-out sofa were both very comfortable. Location was perfect for skiing the entire week.
This cabin was perfect for our weekend away. Great location on Crooked Lake. Just a quick drive to so many other attractions and dining. We would definitely stay there again.
The cabin is small yet completely comfortable and functional. It was clean and accommodating. It has a lovely patio to enjoy the lake. We hope to visit again soon.
Great location with several fun towns close by including Petoskey and Mackinac Island. Comfy cabin with every creature comfort provided. Easy check in and responsive hosts. Had a great long, fall weekend.
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!
We were able to keep our pontoon boat at the property dock and park pur trailor. Bike path across the street was wonderful. Exploring Petosky and Harbor Springs were a treat + good restaurants. Cozy, well appointed property.
Perfect for two, comfortable and cozy. It was just what I imagined. Owners were very responsive. Close to local skiing. Would be great in the summer too.
Absolutely loved our stat at the cutest cottage I have ever seen. The host was accommodating and easy to reach. Had a blast on the lake and realized we could go all the way to Mackinac Island from our spot. Thank you so much to the host.
We had a great time. The cottage is 20 feet from the water. We used the fire pit every night and ate many of our meals on the picnic table looking out over the water.
My wife and I wanted a long weekend away from work at a place where we could relax. We found it. This cabin on Crooked Lake is well kept and stocked with everything you’ll need for a stay both short and long. We will definitely be back! Good location that is close to M119-Tunnel of Trees and about fifteen minutes from downtown Petoskey.
Clean, well maintained, and well stocked with everything we needed. We love the view of the lake in the back. Very relaxing. Awesome location for bike riding with the Northwest trail directly across the street which connects to trails going to Mackinaw and Petoskey and beyond. Our second stay at this location. Highly recommended!
The cottage was well-appointed and as-described. We had everything we needed for a great long weekend. We rented a boat at a (very) local marina, and kept it at the dock on the property without issue for two nights. I will be back! The owners were great to work with.
Super cute cottage. Perfect for 2 people. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. The owner had nice little touches. Keurig coffee maker with coffee , hot chocolate and tea available. A gas grill and full refrigerator was great. It’s very close to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Very nice cottage!
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!
