Crooked Lake Waterfront Cottage With Private Dock
Welcome to your perfect Up North escape! This charming waterfront home sits right on beautiful Crooked Lake, offering peaceful views, plenty of space to relax, and room for everyone to make lasting memories.
Inside, you’ll find a beautifully maintained original cottage that blends classic character with comfortable living. The spacious living room features warm, inviting décor and large picture windows that frame stunning lake views. Whether you’re gathered for a board game, enjoying a good book, or simply watching the boats go by, this space makes it easy to unwind.
The home offers a thoughtful layout for families and groups. There are two bedrooms with queen beds, plus a third bedroom featuring two bunk beds (four twin beds total), complete with charming porthole windows and its own half bathroom—perfect for kids or extra guests. You’ll also find one full bathroom with a shower and skylight off the hallway.
Step outside and enjoy everything lake life has to offer. The spacious yard provides plenty of room for kids to play, while the deck overlooking the water is perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. A private dock makes it easy to launch your water toys or spend the day on the lake, and the fire pit is ideal for cozy nights under the stars. A propane grill is available for easy lakeside cookouts. For some added fun, a basketball hoop is located on the paved driveway.
Perfect for every season, this home is located near scenic trails and a local winery, and is just a short drive from shops, dining, and the charm of downtown Petoskey. When winter arrives, you’re only minutes from skiing and snowboarding at Nub’s Nob and Boyne Highlands.
Additional conveniences include private driveway parking and two garage bays.
Whether you’re sipping coffee by the shore, exploring nearby trails, or winding down by the fire pit after a day on the lake, every moment here feels special. Your four-season getaway on Crooked Lake awaits—where every sunrise brings a new reason to stay a little longer.
