About this property

Beautiful Sunsets Over the all sport's, quiet Crawford Lake. Year round rental!

Our home is very clean with most of the interior being knotty pine throughout, including the bedrooms. It has a fully equipped kitchen , nice big windows to enjoy the lake views, not to mention the gorgeous sunsets. Complete entertainment center with a 42" smart/ flat screen TV with DVD/CD player. Beautiful views of the calm, all sports lake from the large front deck; with 125 ft. of water frontage. Sandy bottom!! Fish off the double wide, T shaped, fiberglass dock, sun tan, or just relax. It has hook up's for docking your boat, and other water toy's. (public access is just two lots away).
Our cottage is centrally located with Traverse City, Torch Lake, Boyne City, Schuss Mtn. and Shanty Creek all within a half an hour away. We are located six miles east of downtown Kalkaska. There are many opportunities for Up North adventure, such as visiting Mackinac Island, Petoskey , Charlevoix, and Indian River. For the golfers there are three golf courses within five miles of our lake house. For the snowmobile and ATV enthusiasts, you can literally take off from our lake house to join up with the main riding trails!! not to mention mountain bike, hike etc. Early morning walks around the lake are a personal favorite, the wild life and scenery are simply beautiful. Our lake house comfortably sleeps 8 people. There are 3 bedrooms plus a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. Two of the bedrooms have a queen bed, and the 3rd has 2 trundle beds. There are two bathrooms-one full bath with tub and shower and the half bath is located right off the laundry room at the back entrance. The living room has a gas fireplace. You can enjoy roasting hot-dogs or S'mores over an open fire in one of our two fire pits. There is also a covered patio complete with gas-grill and prep table off the kitchen entrance.
Lastly, we have a Pontoon boat for rent, for those who would like to go out on the lake ! Please note , that this is a separate rental from the cottage rental.
From the second weekend in June through the end of September, we rent by the week only. From Saturday to Saturday. We hope to make your vacation a wonderful, relaxing and memorable experience. Sincerely, Rick & Teresa

Family Reunion

We have a small cottage on the lake and needed extra space to have family up. There Was plenty of room to spread out and the owners were accessible for any issues, even our late check in. Love our lake! It’s a quiet slice of heaven!

lake life

We spent two weeks at Crawford Lake and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was clean, and comfortable and suited us well. The week included boating, fishing, bike rides, smores, relaxing, playing games, short walks, and quiet lake serenity. It's a great place, a great vacation. The only problem was our trip ended.

The home offers a nice, clean space for a family vacation. While indoors the bathrooms definitely need updating, the outdoor space was lovely with plenty of room for yard games, bonfires, and lake toys.

Once again a great place to stay

This is the second year in a row staying here and everything was perfect. The view of the lake is amazing. The house is awesome. It’s not too far from Kalkaska if you need items. I would definitely stay here again and hoping to in the summer to enjoy the water. Thanks again for hosting us.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa and Rick

Host profile image
We have lived in Kalkaska for the past 33 years. I was even born in the Kalkaska hospital. Therefore, I am a true native! My husband Rick however, is a' transplant' from Plymouth Mi. He moved here to marry me! After this many years here, he is now considered a " Local-Yoko" as well. We have two children. Our son is 32, and our daughter is 22 yrs. old. We are also grandparents to two sweet little boys! We have lived out here at Crawford Lake for 33 years now. We love it here and this is why we purchased our lake front cottage in June of 2012. The cottage is just across the lake from our primary home. This makes it perfect for our venture of renting our cottage as a vacation get away /retreat. Again, we love Crawford Lake so much, as well as the surrounding area , so we thought why not share it with others! So, that's what we did!! We are loving meeting new people and making new friends. Our guests have been wonderful and we are grateful to have had them stay with us. So far, they love it here as much as we do!






Why they chose this property

What attracted us to the area is the fact that you have access to so many fun and exciting out door activities. There is skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing,dirt-biking, four-wheeling, hiking, boating, swimming, water-skiing, fishing, golf;and the list goes on! It is just so very peaceful and beautiful . The scenery and wildlife are breathtaking, and all you have to do is look out the window! Lastly, we love this location because it is only 20 minutes from Traverse City, Torch Lake and the casinos. Perfect!!

What makes this property unique

AHH!... The View . Sitting on the deck or dock having a drink and watching the sun set over the lake and trees will leave you speechless. The fall colors over the lake reminds us of being in the smokey mountains mostly due to the fact that this lake is not jam- packed with homes one after the other. The south end of the lake has no homes, just all cedar trees. You may even catch site of the bald eagles that nest on the south end of the lake!
