About this house rental
The laid-back Coach House Loft is located on 50 feet of Crooked Lake shoreline and has 3 bedrooms and two full baths and sleeps 6 (7 if one or more are children). It has recently been gutted and completely remodeled with quartz and marble countertops, new high-end appliances, all new bathrooms, and a washer and dryer. There is an 8 X 21 deck for dinner, grilling, or relaxation with peeks of Crooked Lake through the trees.
There is a waterfront fire pit for roasting marshmallows, bikes for cruising the newly paved bike trails, and a 48 foot dock for fishing, boating, or enjoying sunsets. Crooked Lake waterfront is shared with one other rental cottage, and there is plenty of room for everyone. New furniture has been installed. Most of the living area is on the second floor, so an ability to climb stairs is necessary. We only rent from Friday to Friday during the summer high season (June 30- August 11).
Need more room? Rent the 1 bedroom, 1½ bath cottage on the same property for a larger family gathering.
During month of July and August the beach area gets some weeds so we do tell people it’s not a swim beach. But LOTs of sandy sandbars on lake and state park is only 1 mike away on Lake Michigan. There are 4 large fresh water inland lakes you can access From our dock known as the chain of lakes.
This area is a vacation wonderland: bring your boat, or rent one nearby to cruise the inland waterway to Pickerel, Burt, and Mullet Lakes. Or if you’re adventurous, go all the way to Cheboygan and Lake Huron. Golf at some of the finest courses, shop the cute boutiques of Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix and Bay Harbor. Taste the wines and beers in our rapidly growing vineyard and microbrewery businesses. Spend the day on Mackinac Island. Enjoy the music and cultural events at the Bayview Association. Spend a beach day at Petoskey State Park or Sturgeon Bay. Try your luck at the Odawa Casino or attend one of the numerous summer festivals in area communities. Hop on the recently finished paved bike trail a few blocks away and travel to nearby communities. Petoskey is 5.1 miles away and Harbor Springs is 7.3 miles from our property.

House was accurately listed. Cancelation policy was not forgiving under unfortunate circumstances however we made it work. Cute property.

Could work on the air conditioning situation. Noise from unit and bedrooms were very warm.

My young daughter and I stayed with my older parents in this carriage house for four nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The lake offered us some really nice boating and there is a system of lakes that this one is a part of so you can enjoy several days worth of exploration. Though the property is at a T of two busy roads, once you walk down a little further from the main highway, it gets much quieter and makes for some lovely walks. There is no central air so if planning to open the windows in the evenings, the road noise can be loud. Therefore, consider bringing a sound machine if traveling with children. There are plenty of towels towels and they (and the bed linens) are of excellent quality. There was no furniture to store clothing in upstairs but a lovely painted dresser in the downstairs bedroom. We didn’t have any clothes hangers but there was a lot of wire shelving in the closet that we set our clothes on. The owner didn’t have a sheet of information with things like the Wi-Fi info or where to get the kayaks but he was very accessible by phone and was able to answer our questions as they came up.
We had a very nice day and thoroughly enjoyed our time in the area. A lovely spot in Michigan!
