The house was absolutely adorable and very well equipped with everything we needed. We spent alot of time on the nice sand beach and enjoying the lake view from the deck. Megan was fantastic at answering all questions in a very timely manner. Definitely looking to rent again next year 😀

I loved this cottage. It was clean, cute and well stocked. It's in a convenient location for all sorts of activities. The little beach was clean, the water is nice and shallow and clean. Chairs and umbrellas are provided which is a major plus for me. There is a small marina to dock your boat, with a boat launch not too far away. The parking with a boat trailer is a little tight but we made it work. We will for sure stay here again.

The house was very nice and clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. We had campfires on tbe Beach and watched the sunset. I would highly recommend.

Very nice place to stay!!!

Great location! Super clean! Has everything you need. Will definitely be back.

We had a great time in our VRBO property and the entire rental experience was flawless.

Great location, communication was also great, very clean. Loved our stay here.

Everything was great, very clean, communication was great, it really had everything we needed, the only thing I would recommend is the dumpster to be in a different location.

Our family thorough enjoyed our stay over Labor Day weekend. They had everything we needed to keep 3 teenage boys busy. The lake was beautiful. We have every intention on renting there again!

We loved our stay in this community lakefront setting. The cottage was just as listed and we’ve already booked for next summer!!!! Highly recommended

We have been vacationing in the Petoskey area since I was a little kid. This is by far the best place we have stayed! The location and beach/lake access cannot be beat. The kids (and adults 😉) loved the LilyPad and kayaks. Already planning on coming back next summer!

The beach is wonderful. Location is great.

It was a great week @ Megan & Tom's cottage! The cottage was as described and pictured online. It is accurate that the front bedroom does hear road noise since it is up against a busy road, however it was not a deal breaker and did not bother us. We spent most of the time in the kitchen/living room and of course outside. It was cute, cozy and had all the essentials. Loved having a washer/dryer as well. There was a new gas grill on the property so we grilled almost every night. There is a grocery store (Olsen's) a few miles away to get groceries and bundles of wood. After grilling each night we swam and then had a fire down on the beach overlooking the lake. We also rented the kayaks to explore the lake. There is a nice 10-15 min walk along the water in front of what looked like family owned homes/cottages. Even though it rained 1/2 of our stay we made the best of it and explored. Charlevoix, Mackinac Island and the Sleeping Bear Dunes were a fun day trip. Also check out Pond Farm Winery/Brewery for lunch and drinks as well as the nature walk close by. Megan and her family were great, we met them one night doing smores and our son enjoyed a little basketball with Sander their son:) We would definitely recommend staying and we would return as well:)

The beach is great!!!! We had a very enjoyable stay!

Megan and Tom Cole are the nicest people to rent from. Their cottage was so beautiful and clean. The decor is perfect. Beds were comfy. Well stocked kitchen. Kayaks and lily pad were right next to the cottage for easy access for my son and his friend. Any questions, we had were so quickly answered. Petoskey is close to get anything we needed. It was seriously one of the most fun and relaxing vacations we have had in awhile. We will be back!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊

The cottage was exactly like described inside. It was clean and modern with fully stocked amenities. The lake access was a nice feature. It is a shared common area, so I imagine with more than two families there it may get crowded. The kids enjoyed the water and the basketball area. This property is very much kid friendly. The property sits feet from a busy road. It wasn’t a deal breaker for us since we were only staying for a tournament weekend. There are two queen beds upstairs and one down stairs. The bed up stairs was very lumpy and sagged in the middle. The other queen was much more firm and overall comfortable. Ultimately, we had a very nice stay and the owners were very gracious, making sure we had all the amenities we needed. I would recommend this property. It is in a great location and just minutes away from Petoskey.

We had a wonderful time at this property. Check in and check out were easy. The property owner was very responsive and did everything she could to make us feel at home and comfortable reaching out to her. She had lots of great recommendations in the area. The kitchen is well stocked. The place was very clean which we especially appreciated given the pandemic. Close to both Petoskey and Harbor Springs with lots to do in the area. You can see the lovely lake from the unit but the parking lot is between the unit and the lake. My only other complaint would be that the unit is very close to a busy road. Didn’t bother us really but could be a turn off for some. Overall very happy. Highly recommend. Would stay here again.

Crooked Lake Cottage was very clean and cozy for our fall get away last weekend. The property manager was very attentive prior to and during our stay. The home is a short drive from Downtown Petoskey, located right of Highway 31.

Owners were exceptional. Money well spent.

Had a wonderful relaxing week away from the normal stress in life. Crooked lake and the surrounding area is amazing.

Great little cozy cottage. We chose it for the access to the bike & walking Trailway and private beach. We had a super view of the lake ( until cottage #4 was occupied ) Beach was a good sunset viewing spot. Oden is close to many activity spots in the Petoskey area. Be sure to check out Dutch Oven Bakery in Alanson. Ryde Marine has all sorts of watercraft for rent . Crooked Lake has always been one of our favorite spots

Great location to Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Crooked Lake is a clean lake with a sandy beach. We will be back!

This cottage had all the amenities we needed to escape from further south in the state for a week. We really enjoyed the on-site beach and fire pit. There were others staying at the other 5 cottages, but beach and fire-pit space was never an issue and we always felt safely social distanced. The close proximity to the bike trail was great! We were able to ride into Alanson and into Petoskey a couple times. We cooked in the kitchen and found all the cooking implements needed and used the grill once. We also enjoyed that there was a TV in the bedroom areas and used the DVD player to watch a few movies together. The hosts were very responsive and even gave us recommendations on the one rainy day we had. We were a tiny bit disappointed there was no fudge at check-in after reading the previous reviews, but with all the pandemic concerns we understood.

The house is adorable. We enjoyed the layout and it is really done in good taste. The kitchen is set up very well with all that you need for cooking, etc. Oh yes, no teaspoons :). We loved the Petoskey area and did so much. We all enjoyed. Sarah was so helpful, very much appreciated.

Best beach and play area on Crooked Lake is a bonus as well.

The house was clean and nicely appointed. Internet is shared with other house at this location so it can be a little slow at times. Great beach and lake.

The property was very clean and nicely decorated. The owners were very nice and left us fudge and some condiments which was very nice!! Beach area nice and the swimming was great. My only complaint was the noise of US 31 in our back door. the window units helped though

Great location with all the amenities needed provided. Nice little beach area and dock available if you have a boat. Very cute on inside. Owner helpful and quick to respond. Rented this property many times and plan on coming back. Only complaint is other cottages nearby (with bigger groups)sometimes can be loud and take over beach area.

The cottage is quite cute, inside and out. The resort is exactly as described, with a sandy beach area, boat docking, and views out on the lake. The window A/C units do a nice job of keeping it cool even on the hot days, so no concerns there. The kitchen was fully equipped and had just about everything we needed, which was helpful since we eat all our meals in. The location on the lake is perfect, you are near the sandbar and can see sunsets from the beach. My only knock is how close it is to the highway, which is why I gave 4 stars for that. But the convenience of being close to town and the road has to have a drawback, I guess. The road noise is a bit loud at times but you get used to it. The owners were amazing to deal with and took very good care of us. Overall an extremely nice stay!

This was a great property with lake access, a volleyball net, and beachside fire pits. The house has everything you could possibly need (even forks for roasting marshmallows!). It’s close to Petoskey and Harbor Springs without all of the town traffic. It’s also close enough to do a day trip to Mackinac Island. Sarah was very helpful and answered all of our questions. We would definitely rent this place again!

This was our second time staying at Sarah’s cottage and it was as wonderful as our first stay! Sarah was very quick to respond to all of our concerns and was a gracious host. Upon arrival, they had a box of local Murdik’s fudge waiting for us. YUM! Such a nice touch! They also provided a complete booklet of recommendations for restaurants, activities and their favorite things in the Petoskey area. You just can’t beat the location of this cottage. There is only a short drive to Petoskey, it is close to a supermarket, restaurant down the rod, etc. The lakeshore beach is fantastic with fire pits, chairs, tables and kids beach toys. There is also a basketball hoop and volleyball net with balls. We will definitely be back to visit Sarah’s cottage or any others she owns. Wonderful host, wonderful time had by all. Thank you Sarah!

Very beautiful cabin, wonderful scenic amenities, and the owners are great.
