About this cottage rental
Stunning lake views and peaceful pine trees greet you at our lakeside get away for kids, friends and families. Whether you’re looking for the perfect setting for a family summer vacation on the lake; a homebase for your snow mobile adventure, a reunion with old friends or a Fall/Winter weekend retreat, you’ll feel like you’re a world away from your day-to-day life. If you're not ready to be completely away, you can also work remotely with our internet, which we've tested for video conferencing and remote work-- it's ready for you!
Cook family style meals in our kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, spices and basics like olive oil and salt/pepper and make yourself at home in our three cozy bedrooms, one with kid-friendly bunkbeds. Brand new washer/dryer will come in handy after outdoor activities.
Wake up to a pot full of coffee from a regular machine or a French press or choose one of the many teas we stock in the cabinets. Wine snobs welcome—we have an electric wine set and a cheeseboard to go with it, along with lots of games, decks of cards, candles and entertainment to make memories during your stay. The living room brings the outside in with three walls of glass and stunning views of the lake and pine trees—enjoy family time on the ample couches with multiple blankets and pillows while connecting easily to multiple streaming services on the TV.
Outside is as fun as inside! Roast s’mores at the fire pit, fish from the dock, wade into the lake from the sandy beach, bring your boat or use our 2 kayaks and bikes. Crawford is a shallow lake with a sandy bottom with small private sandy beach perfect for little kids.
Easy to reach from Chicago, Detroit or anywhere in Michigan. 35 minutes to all the attractions of Traverse City, 5 minutes to conveniences in Kalkaska such as a year-round farmers market, full grocery store, houses of worship and multiple restaurants. Close to ORV / snowmobile trails, 3 golf courses within 10 minutes.
When you arrive, look for the yellow garage with a large sunflower next to the mailbox (see photo!),
We can’t wait to share our best-kept-secret with you!

If you're looking for a very quaint place, this is it. There is a beautiful view of the lake and has many activities for a family.

Great place with a great view! We had a great time in this cozy little cottage on the lake. It was a perfect spot for relaxing by the water and fishing off the pier. Our friends had two young kids with them and they had a blast swimming in the lake right off the pier - it was nice and shallow for them to enjoy it. The neighbors are pretty close, but they were all very nice. We also brought a small boat that we were able to tie up to the dock. One of the bedrooms had a very funky smell to it, but other than that it was a great little place. I would recommend it! The sun room was great to enjoy the view with a morning coffee or cozy up on the couch if it ends up raining and you cannot be outside. Thanks for a great place!

The cabin served its purpose. There was a musty smell as soon as we walked in. The grass needed cut and the beach for my 6 yr old granddaughter needed to be cleaned up. The cabin definitely needs updates especially the bathroom. The fishing was good and lake shallow. The living room was nice and so was the view. The portable air conditioner did not help keep it cool in back bedroom. My granddaughter enjoyed fishing and swimming.
