Cozy Bear Cottage with adorable Lake and Bear décor, 25 mi S. of Mackinaw City

Nestled in Crooked Lake, this delightful cottage is a peaceful retreat for guests seeking a serene getaway.

Relax on the enclosed front porch, complete with a smart Roku TV. For the fishing enthusiasts, grab a fishing pole and a tackle box and walk down to the water. Round out your day with a board game or cards from the available supply or a sit down in the dry sauna.

Cozy up amidst the bear themed décor before a warming fire in the rock gas fireplace underneath a vaulted ceiling. Dining for 6 at this lakeside cottage will satisfy all your vacation desires.

A full kitchen with ample amenities will make this your home-away-from-home. And the kitchen wouldn't be complete without the stocked Keurig coffee bar.

More inclined to embrace the outdoor experience? Fire up the patio grill or nestle around the firepit in one of the colorful Adirondack chairs. Grab a book and climb into the hanging bench swing on the porch.

Don't over pack - Washer and dryer are available for your convenience.

We hope you fall in love with Crooked Lake and enjoy all the beauty it has to offer - just like us.

Cabin was comfortable and cozy. All our needs were provided for, including coffee maker, equipped kitchen, recliners, rocking chairs, a fireplace and lovely outdoor firepit. We were reluctant to leave but life had to return to normal. We hope to return.

Cute cottage has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The sauna was a nice touch. The only thing is that the A/C is only in the main room, if it gets warm you would not be able to cool the bedrooms off. Other than that I would stay here again.

Cute Cottage Great Getaway Spot

The cabin perfect for our weekend trip. Everything was clean and welcoming. Host had instructions and labels for everything you could think of which was perfect, left nothing for us to need to figure out. Having two full bathrooms made it even better so nobody had to wait if one was in use. The location is perfect, just a short drive to Petoskey or Mackinaw City. And a quick 7 minute drive to Petoskey State Park. We loved our stay and will definitely book again when we are in the area.
