About this cottage rental
One of six privately owned cottages in a unique, park-like community called Waters Edge on Crooked Lake. This newly remodeled cottage has tons of charm and is very well maintained. The pine beam ceilings create a cozy yet open feel. It is perfect for one or two families and great for all seasons!
Our immaculate cottage has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. On the main floor there is a full bathroom and two bedrooms each with a queen bed. On the second floor there is a bathroom with a shower as well as a bedroom with two twin beds and the master bedroom with a King size bed.
It has a fully stocked kitchen with everything you'd need for your vacation. There is a maximum of 8 persons allowed.
We share 450 feet of lake frontage with the 6 cottages. The beach area is shallow and the sandy bottom makes for the best and safest swimming on Crooked Lake. Relax and kick back in the evening by roasting marshmallows from one of the multiple bonfire pits.
The Little Traverse Wheelway bike trail can be accessed just across the street from our cottage. Enjoy a great bike ride to Petoskey or the cute town of Alanson, just 3 miles north.
The resort also includes volleyball, small basketball court, and horseshoes. You can really relax here!
If you are interested, we have sit on top kayaks and stand up paddle boards for rent for $100 each per stay up to one week. We have 2 child size kayaks and a lily pad (water mat) also for $50 total for your stay up to one week. We have a variety of sizes of life jackets included in the rental.
We have a protected marina area with a spot for you to bring your boat or rent one from one of the two close marinas just North and just South of the cottage. Jet skis can be anchored in shallow water off the beach. Enjoy partial views of the lake from the deck of the cottage which sits back back approximately 50 feet from the lake.
There are many restaurants, and lots of golfing and shopping close by and we are minutes from Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob. The Odawa Casino is 15 minutes from the cottage and Mackinac Island is only 35 miles away. A great location!
The beach and park-like setting with boat docking makes this a unique vacation property. If you need more space, we also work with the owners of cottage #1289660 which sleeps 6. Reserve now to rent this cozy cottage only seven miles from Petoskey and nine miles from Harbor springs!
Maximum 8 persons. No pets, no smoking.

We stayed for a week with our 2 boys (ages 8 and 10) and had a great time! Very clean and well-equipped cottage that was perfect for our family. Absolutely love the beach area and how shallow the lake is for kids to play safely, and our boys enjoyed the basketball court right off the beach.
Sarah was super responsive, accommodating and helpful with recommendations in the area and fun tips! We look forward to coming back next year!

My family spent a wonderful week at this great cottage filled with sunshine, watersports, kayaking/paddleboarding, bike riding, sunsets, bonfires, beautiful sunsets, and fantastic family memories. This cottage is in a great location, had plenty of room, was clean and nicely decorated. Sarah is a fabulous host: responsive and accommodating! We would recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great get away.

This was a wonderful family cottage with a lake view in a small group of homes that included a basketball court, volleyball net, sandy well-kept beach with tables and umbrellas and a large walk-in shallow swim area. No weeds! There are 2 fire pits available on the beach and another out by the marina area. Easy to rent boats nearby for tubing. Owner supplies and delivers lily pad, kayaks, and an SUP board for a fee. Great communication and help from Sarah, the owner. There is also a marina area to park a boat. There is much to do for families in the area and some good restaurants also. The lake is clear. The sky was beautiful at night! Thanks for a fun week! We recommend for a casual and relaxing vacation.

You won't be disappointed!
My family stayed for a week in late June and had a fantastic time. The location is perfect for accessing the many local sites/activities, and the fishing was great. The host was very helpful and responsive. I definitely would recommend this to others, and hope to return there next summer!

We had a great week. Our family rented 4 cottages on the property. This house was set up perfectly. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the porch complete with gas grill gave us an additional room. The beach, the grounds, and the boat docks were perfect.

The cottage met our expectations and more! The beach, the lake, the amenities--all wonderful and right in your backyard. There's also an awesome bike trail directly across the street and excellent restaurants all near by. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We'll definitely stay again. Ty and Sarah are lovely and provided answers to all of our questions and were above and beyond gracious.

Perfect ski getaway
We stayed here for a ski weekend to Nub’s Nob with another family. We had 4 adults and 4 kids, and had plenty of space. The home is beautiful and nicely furnished, the beds are nice, the kitchen is stocked. The location is perfect, being on crooked lake, very close to Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The owner is very responsive and attentive. I’d stay here again!

We had a nice October week at this house. Our family of four was more than comfortable in the space. House was very clean and all furniture and linens in great condition. Thought the beds were very comfortable! We haven’t explored northern Michigan much, and this was a great base to check out Petoskey and Harbor Springs and beyond. Did a day trip up to the UP. Highly recommend all of the nature preserves and state parks. We were here to get away and enjoy nature, and the house’s location made that easy. Only negative is that it’s close to a road, so there is some road noise. Beach was great, water nice and clear. Even though it was chilly, my kids enjoyed finding shells and dipping their toes in the water. Overall the resort property was lovely with multiple swings and a very nice view (especially in autumn) across the lake!

Prime location, peaceful beach setting
We enjoyed our long weekend stay at this cozy beach cottage with quaint beach house decor. Sarah, the owner, was very helpful in sharing advice about the area. Plenty of space in the house and the resort property was perfect for our kids to keep busy with activities. The location is perfect, just a short trip to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, or Burt Lake.

Mother/Daughter getaway
This was a lovely place for our getaway. Comfy enough to stay in when it rained for 2 days, but close to bike trail to Petoskey and 12 minute drive to Harbor Springs.
Very clean and owner was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely rent again !

Fantastic location and beach
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The property owner has thought everything through to make it a seamless and stress free rental experience. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. The location is a short drive into Petoskey and also close to Mackinaw City and the bridge. We absolutely loved the beach at the cottage. The water is shallow for a long way out into the lake with a nice sandy bottom (and was warm at the end of August!) - perfect for kids. The property owner was extremely responsive and helpful, by far the best I've experienced in my history of renting vacation properties.

Lakefront cottage getaway in N. Michigan
My family has vacationed on this property for over 40 years and still is our favorite place to visit. The updated cottage is comfortable And clean although you’ll spend most of your time outdoors enjoying the on site amenities along with the local trails, waterways, golf courses, etc. Sarah and Ty are wonderful renters and attentive to any questions or needs. Looking forward to coming back in 2021

Trail Riders
We are a group of bicycle riders and have stayed in this house twice now. It's a perfect location for us with the trail across the road. We also take a trip to Mackinac Island and take our bikes. This is a great location with lots to do in the area.

Excellent property!
We loved this rental! We had 2 families staying here with children and there was plenty of space. The bedrooms upstairs were enormous! The house was very clean and well kept, the beds were comfortable and we had all of the appliances and tools that we needed. As soon as we checked in, we felt comfortable and right at home. The proximity to a private sandy, perfect-swimming-for-kids beach area couldn’t have been better. The location was perfect- we loved being close to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island, and we were able to enjoy trips to all of the local areas. We absolutely had a fabulous and relaxing vacation here and can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!

Our family stayed here last week and enjoyed every minute of our time at Crooked Lake. We have 4 small children and were amazed at how family friendly the cottage, sandy beach, and neighboring sidewalks were. There's a nice sized yard surrounding the cottage too - it's perfect for play while resting from the beach.
If you're looking for the perfect spot, this is it!

Wonderful!
We had a great time at this cottage! It's clean, super cute and stocked with almost anything you will need. The hosts are great and provide tons of recommendations for area.
The location is nice as well. It's located close to Petoskey and Harbor Springs and the state park.
The cottage area has an awesome, shallow sandy beach (great for kids), a volleyball net, basketball hoop, several bonfire pits and swings for relaxing.
We highly recommend this property and are looking forward to our stay next summer!

A+ Cottage
We have been coming to this property for years. There is plenty of room for 8 people and the cottage is always clean and homey. And, don't forget the water, sand, and even A/C! One of the best features is that it also has a private marina where you can put your boat in at the beginning of the week and take it out at the end - no moorings to deal with. It is also just minutes away from lots to do but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to truly relax! The property owner is extremely nice and easy to communicate with. In fact, she even mailed back my pillow that I forgot. Thank you for another pleasant vacation!
