We rented the lake house for a soccer tournament in Petoskey and it was absolutely wonderful! Tons of space and amenities… truly a great experience. The bunk beds and huge couch in the game/tv room were a big hit with the players. Grill worked fabulous as we cooked a ton of chicken and brats on it for a team bbq. Kitchen had everything you could need to cook up a storm. Parking enough for 4 vehicles. Clark and Kate were amazing hosts and really did a great job with communicating and providing for a great experience. We are actually sad that this is our last year at the tournament as we really wanted to rent this home again. Instructions for the home were detailed and easy to follow. Loved the history of the home and family! Thank you so much Clark and Kate!

In the area for a wedding. Great home base. Central location to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Loved the view of the swans on the lake every morning fishing. Charming atmosphere and very kid friendly with a step stool even for the kitchen - loved that. Highly suggest this property.

We are still smiling after our stay here. There is something to offer for everyone from 1 year to 80 years of age at this cottage. There were plenty of kayaks and even a paddle boat. The little ones loved playing in the water and fishing off the dock. The house was updated, very clean and spacious. Communication from the owner was top notch. Thank you Clark!

Fantastic place to stay - Crooked Lake Haven - Oden, MI

From start to finish this was an incredible easy and fun filled experience.Before booking I had some questions on parking, dockage etc., and Clark and Kate very very quickly, (within an hour max., mostly within 20 minutes thoroughly answered eachquestion)The house was very clean, well set up with various amenities, lots of cups, dishes, plates, pots, pans, etc., for cooking. Many jigsaw puzzles and games for a rainy day, which luckily we did not incur. Also had a basket with dog items, big tub with beach kid toys, kayaks, pedal boat, paddle board, great beach and dock.The covered porch and the lake room with huge windows was our favorite. Having early morning coffee and watching the ducks, swans, loons from the porch was a nice reason to rise early. That along with seeing a beautiful sunrise over the lake. Only improvement would be to possibly have some more life preservers for kayaking, and other water activities, or in property description notify guests bring these as needed for their group.

4th of July on Crooked Lake

It was a great trip. We got to spend time with the kids and grandkids. The house was great with the open floor plans so that we could all hang out and talk having the dock was good also to launch the boat. The Homeowners keep the house very neat and clean.

Great vacation spot

The house and property were exactly as advertised. Spectacularly clean and every accommodation you would hope for. We enjoyed the fire pit each night and had excellent luck fishing off the dock in the early evening. Just a couple minutes from Petoskey was the perfect location. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Getaway at the lake

Up north weekend with family was great. We traveled in April. No AC could be a challenge in the middle of summer but maybe not w the lake breeze. Property is right on 31 and there is some traffic noise but it is not off putting or excessive. Great little property and communicating with the hosts was easy and very helpful.

Beautiful Family Ski Getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend at the home on Crooked Lake. Everything was clean, beautiful, organized and perfect to house our family of 7- including two small children, two grandparents and a dog. We especially enjoyed the lake room - watching the gorgeous sunrise and active wildlife around the lake. Proximity to downtown Petoskey, as well as the ski resorts was optimal for our mixed group of skiers and non-skiers. All communication with the Hewitt's was efficient, pleasant and easy. I would definitely recommend this home -and we are hopeful to be back for future stays!

Awesome place to stay!

We plan a ski weekend with our adult kids and their spouses every year. Unfortunately we never got to the slopes because of the poor winter weather conditions in the midwest this year. HOWEVER this Lake House was a god-sen. We were able to spread out and be comfortable playing games, cooking, talking, watching Rugby on TV, and sleeping. It helped that this VBRO was the best equipped rental we have ever stayed at. I kinda wish it was summer so we could have taken advantage of the lakefront and lake. But the view was awesome. There seems to be plenty to do in town and the surrounding area. We did walk downtown Petoskey then visited a winery out side of town. No question best rental we have stayed at and would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely house and location!

Had a great time at this house skiing at Nubs Nob over MLK weekend. Easy drive to the hill or into Harbor Springs or Petosky for dinner. We had snow overnight every night we were there and the house manager had us plowed out every morning before we wanted to leave. Would love to visit in the summer sometime to enjoy the lake! Will definitely plan to return.
