Beautiful Family House on Clean Sandy-Bottomed Crooked Lake!
About this house rental
Located in Oden, this attractive house for $712 per night is a great choice for your next break. Crooked Lake is a part of the famous Inland Water Route - a route of beautiful lakes and rivers connecting the Great Lakes. It is spring fed, has a sandy bottom and crystal clear water. There are marinas to rent boats and water toys, good fishing and a big sandbar famous among the locals as the great place to play. There are great skiing options for winter travelers as well. Our cottage is in Oden, MI. It has a swimming area shallow enough for children yet deep enough at the end of our dock for just about any size boat. The dock is solid, steady, and has a large area on the end for playing, docking a boat and sunbathing. Beach towels are provided. On the main floor is a clean, well-kept, open floor plan and a master suite. The living room houses a wood burning fireplace, game table (games & puzzles provided), and comfortable seating. The kitchen is fully outfitted, stocked with good flatware, cutlery and cookware - including the extra cooking tools and serving pieces you’ll need for large family meals at the dining room table. The main level front porch has a table for eating and relaxing, and two of the second floor bedrooms have access to the veranda. The beds are clad in 600+ thread count linens that are replaced each season. Each bedroom has an air conditioner, but up north, you’ll seldom need them. A discreet housecleaning service will make a midweek visit for clean up. A laundry room right off the kitchen with an extra large washer and dryer is available to use. With so much to do, you'll be tempted to stay put. But limitless opportunities await you outdoors. The cottage resides in Oden, and neighboring Petoskey and Harbor Springs are home to a variety of shopping, dining and recreation activities. High-demand destinations like Charlevoix, Mackinac Island and Bay Harbor are also not far. You are within minutes of some of the area’s several world-class golf courses, great fly-fishing locations, and beautiful ski slopes. The cottage is right next to the new 60 mile rails-to-trails path that runs between Charlevoix and Mackinaw City - perfect for bikers, runners and hikers. And right outside the front door is Oden's famous lakefront lighted walkway. Keywords: Cottage, Oden, Crooked Lake, lake house, lake home, winter home, Harbor Springs, Petoskey

This house has everything! Three bedrooms for the grownups plus a bunk room and a twin bed room for the kids. Three bathrooms, including the master bath which is updated and lovely. Great laundry and kitchen appointments. The lake is wonderful - around 3-4 feet deep until way beyond the end of the dock. Friendly neighbors. We loved it.

Crooked Lake Cottage
Beautiful cottage and what we needed. The lake side of the house is beautiful. It is very close to Hwy 31 as advertised. The traffic noise was more than we anticipated. Compared to other VRBO places we've stayed, there was less comfort things like paper products, dishwasher detergent, no salt or pepper. None of these are huge items, but we did have to go to a store to get them.
Positives: Great responsiveness from the owner to take care of a window air conditioner that went bad. He was willing to help with any issues.. Also, a big plus for the mid-week towel change and cleaning. That doesn't happen often.
Over all, we had a great week at this Crooked Lake Cottage.

Another Great Summer Vacation!
We have stayed at this Crooked Lake Cottage several times. It never disappoints. The lake is fantastic for swimming, tubing, sailing, wave running, etc. Plus, the inland waterway offers some of the best boating in the country. And being so close to Petoskey and Harbor Springs is a huge benefit; they both have great dining and shopping. The cottage is a real gem and a great summer vacation destination! We will be back!!

This house was great for a large family to vacation together. There is enough space for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked for large groups and the 2 refrigerators are a huge plus. We loved being right on the water and being able to use the dock for our boat.

This home has a great layout, more open and roomy than the photos convey. It’s quaint, comfy, clean, with a great porch overlooking the lake. The lake is perfect - warms early (shallow) , lots of undeveloped land, big, attached to the inland waterway....
The location would be perfect, so close to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, the trails, but, also very close to the road , (as in right next to it, no yard in between), that is quite busy with a speed limit of 55 mph. I could tune it out, but it is a little unnerving with little ones running about. Doable, ( stay in the back - and the fence helps) , just not as relaxing. But everything else makes it worth it, including the extra mile the owners go, with nice linens and newer towels, a welcome basket, etc! Everyone loved the place!

Clearwater Cottage on Crooked Lake is an amazing place!
This summer, my kids and I spent a week at the Clearwater cottage on Crooked Lake. It was an experience that will last our lifetimes! We spent the majority of our time on the lake, which is an absolute gem - clear, clean water and a sandy bottom! We rented a boat and went all the way from Crooked Lake to Lake Huron (Mackinac Bridge). The Inland Water way was gorgeous. On our excursion, we played on Burt Lake and Mullett Lake. We also stopped at unique local restaurants on the lakes and rivers during our trip. The water quality, scenery, and hospitality along the way was superb! The Cottage was clean and roomy. Plus, it was centrally located to all the other areas we wanted to visit - Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Charlevoix. We will definitely be returning to this very special place!

Great family vacation
Wonderfully maintained cottage on a peaceful Crooked Lake. Our extended family of 12 found plenty of space to gather and play in small groups or all together. A well provided kitchen allowed for easy meal preparation for all, although we did explore some of the area restaurants.
The cottage was within easy access of many of the other recreational opportunities of the area.
I think the kids will be talking about this trip for many years. We have already recommended the cottage to friends who do similar family getaways.

enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage is very well decorated. Also very well equipped and welcome pack that was very much appreciated.. The only downside of this property is its location which is on the US Hwy 31 ,which is very busy and sometimes the whole cottage shook. I don't think this was mentioned when I picked this cottage. It was such a shame because it looks onto the beautiful lake which is supposed to be very relaxing but the highway noise in the background spoilt the tranquillity.

Lovely home right on the lake
This is a great retreat in a lovely spot on Crooked lake. The house was perfect! Very clean, warm and welcoming. 5 bedrooms , 2.5 baths was plenty for three couples plus some weekend guests. Very close to adorable towns of Petoskey , Harbor Springs , Charlevoix, and only 20-30 minutes to the ferry . It was very convenient. Location is for family fun!

Wonderful Reunion site!
Our family met from all over the U.S. for a reunion here and had just a terrific time. Perfectly set up, clean, great access to the lake, made this an easy and comfortable stay. Short drive to Petoskey and Harbor Springs when you wanted to go into a town. The lake is beautiful and all ages had fun swimming, sunning or taking our boat out. Just down the road was Ryde Marina where you can rent boats, kayaks and canoes. Highly recommend this cottage! The 5 bedrooms make it a great place for a group.
