Cold night
We had no heat the first night, Brandon brought over some space heaters. We turned them on and blew a circuit, had to break in the front unit ( per Brandon) in order to get to the breaker. Third night the furnace was fixed. I felt that we should have one nights stay deducted, but apparently the owner didn’t feel that way. Brandon was supposed to get back with me but……. The grounds needed a lot of cleaning up, windows full of cobwebs, gave the house a dirty feel. No I wouldn’t stay there again

Lake is not swim able. Kitchen needs more utensils for cooking. Kitchen light does not work. Beds in bunk room have terrible mattresses. Location was good except for traffic noise. Clean. Nice stay for a retreat.

Not worth the money
No light in kitchen, windows didn’t open, those that did had no screens. Lamps did not work. Terrible weeds in the lake, couldn’t even walk in the water. Pier was dangerous. Umbrella on patio was broken, manager did bring new one. Grass wasn’t mowed, deck was filthy, we had to clean it. Not enough towels. Bunk beds were child size and completely uncomfortable for adults. The website pictures were completely misleading. I would not recommend anyone staying at this location, especially at the price we paid.

Crooked Lake near Petoskey, Michigan
Broken screen door into the living room. Screen door is warped and does not close properly and does not lock. Same entrance, main door, the lock is stripped, and it does not lock. House could not be secured. So many little things that should be tended to...Toaster, only 2 of 4 slices work, no toilet paper in house, we had 2 forks, dishwasher was not unloaded, which we found the second day when we went to load it. Master bedroom good, master bathroom very good. Deck facing lake very good. Lake dock is not usable. The house faces a thick marshy, inaccessible part of Crooked Lake. Not suitable for swimming, boats or pontoons. Maybe kayaks but not available. Will not rent again.

Lake house review
House was clean and appeared to have new floors, fresh paint and new furniture. Would have appreciated a few more towels per person and updated games. Personal preference: would like to have a strainer, tongs and vegetable peeler provided. Lawn was mowed recently too. Enjoyed having outdoor seating provided. Property manager responded to communication during our stay.

Our overall stay was great, I would maybe say it’s close to a busy highway and busy road which makes it easy to get where you want. It was really pleasant and quite.

Crooked Lake Cabin was a great get away
This property was very clean and comfortable and the contact person was very helpful. Located on Crooked Lake, we had a great view of the lake and were just off 31, which allowed us to have easy day trips around Petoskey and Mackinac. We enjoyed bird watching from the back deck-there were so many types of birds. When we stay again, we will focus more on Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Nearby Petoskey businesses like NorthWoods Restaurant, House of Pie, The Crooked Tree BreadWorks, Roast and Toast had great quality food and service and helped make our stay enjoyable.

Lake house property
It was a good location for visiting the area- harbor springs, petoskey, walloon, and charlevoix. The owner was very responsive. We sent a text at 7pm to make him aware that a smoke detector battery need to be changed. It was fixed within 20 minutes. The kitchen was stocked with basics as were the bathrooms. They even had a basket of keurig coffee units.

Perfect Family Friendly Rental!
This is a great family friendly rental with waterfront access! Our family rented a pontoon for the middle half of the week and then also rode bikes from the property into downtown Petoskey. We ended up with a great week that included the Harbor Springs Car Festival and Top O’ Michigan Boat Races. One recommendation would be to add additional seating, as the rental is rated to sleep 6. We were down a chair for a family of 5 when eating at the table, which was quite often.
