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.
