About this property

Mid-Century Cottage with Crooked Lake Views - Quick Trips to Northern Michigan's Favorite Local Spots!

ABOUT THE RENTAL
Enter into this charming cottage from the wraparound porch through original wood double doors. Find yourself in a cozy space with a new mid-century feel. The main level entertaining area is very spacious with a large sectional couch to fall into while enjoying the gas fireplace, music over the record player, and a few drinks with friends and family. On the opposite side of the living area is a ten-person dining room table paired with floor to ceiling original glass doors, perfect for making memories and good conversations. The full kitchen is on the back of the home with new appliances and is connected to the laundry/mudroom area leading out to the expansive fenced-in backyard. This home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms (3 full, 4 half) giving plenty of space to let your group spread out. Bedroom one is located on the main level with a full bath attached. There is second half bath connected to the dining room to service the rest of the main level as well. Taking the staircase to the upstairs brings you to four more bedrooms and five bathrooms – all of which at least have a half bath setup in each room creating more privacy for each guest. Each bedroom has a window A/C unit, as well as a ceiling fan. The North Western State Trail is one block away, which connects to the Little Traverse Wheelway, giving you miles and miles of asphalt trails for biking and running/walking. Located across the street from Crooked Lake and near many Northern Michigan destinations, this home is sure to be a family favorite!

Family Ski Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a pleasant weekend at the house and service was very responsive to our questions. The big advantage to the home is a private room and bathroom which we loved. Two did not have showers but there was one in hall. Everyone loved that. It is an older property and could use some outside work. But the charming wrap around porch made it nice on a beautiful March weekend. The place was clean except for two things we brought up to the owners. They promised to follow up on our concerns. It is a nice property for a group of 10. We enjoyed our stay. Kids want to come back next year.

Holiday Vacation

We stayed at the property this past week. As the other reviews noted, the road noise is a bit loud when sleeping, but as we were aware prior to the trip, we were able to prepare. The house was very clean and offered great space. The online description of the house was spot on. We will definitely book this property again.

Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023
