Mid-Century Cottage with Crooked Lake Views - Quick Trips to Northern Michigan's Favorite Local Spots!

ABOUT THE RENTAL
Enter into this charming cottage from the wraparound porch through original wood double doors. Find yourself in a cozy space with a new mid-century feel. The main level entertaining area is very spacious with a large sectional couch to fall into while enjoying the gas fireplace, music over the record player, and a few drinks with friends and family. On the opposite side of the living area is a ten-person dining room table paired with floor to ceiling original glass doors, perfect for making memories and good conversations. The full kitchen is on the back of the home with new appliances and is connected to the laundry/mudroom area leading out to the expansive fenced-in backyard. This home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms (3 full, 4 half) giving plenty of space to let your group spread out. Bedroom one is located on the main level with a full bath attached. There is second half bath connected to the dining room to service the rest of the main level as well. Taking the staircase to the upstairs brings you to four more bedrooms and five bathrooms – all of which at least have a half bath setup in each room creating more privacy for each guest. Each bedroom has a window A/C unit, as well as a ceiling fan. The North Western State Trail is one block away, which connects to the Little Traverse Wheelway, giving you miles and miles of asphalt trails for biking and running/walking. Located across the street from Crooked Lake and near many Northern Michigan destinations, this home is sure to be a family favorite!

Holiday Vacation
We stayed at the property this past week. As the other reviews noted, the road noise is a bit loud when sleeping, but as we were aware prior to the trip, we were able to prepare. The house was very clean and offered great space. The online description of the house was spot on. We will definitely book this property again.

Reunion
For ~25 years 4 couples got together for a long ski weekend in Northern MI. After many years apart we came together from as far away as Washington to enjoy a 4 day reunion. We had a wonderful time, the house fit our needs well, and it was very close to many of the places where we had built memories together.

New years perfection
Our yearly new years get away was supported by the Oden house. 15 minute dive to Nubs and Highlands, plenty of space for two families, and enough couch space for everyone to relax after a long day. Great spot to support a skiing vacation or visiting downtown Petoskey.

Oden House
The house was very clean and roomy. We liked that each bedroom had a bathroom. Everything we needed to be comfortable was supplied in the house. We also appreciated that the yard was fenced in as the road was quite busy and we had a toddler. We would stay here again.

The house is well appointed with everything we needed. The house has history and has been well taken care of. Plenty of space and privacy. Our stay was short and wished we'd had more time to use the fire pit. Overall we had a great time exploring the area, and we're happy with the accommodation and hospitality.

Wonderful family getaway location
This house was wonderful for our family of 8 adults and a toddler! There were many spaces where we could spread out or all be together. The property managers were very attentive, both before and during our stay. They provided a few items that we asked about before we arrived, and the house was stocked with plenty of essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent. The location was close to lots of nature preserves, wineries, breweries, and if it had been warmer, water sports. Also, it was only 30 minutes to the Mackinac Island ferry. Two of our party were working remotely and the wifi worked well for them. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely stay here again!

What a wonderful stay! If you are looking book now. This place looks just like the pictures and has so much space for everyone to spread out. There were 6 people staying for a week and felt like home right away. Location is perfect to downtown Petoskey. Communication with the property manager was wonderful. Made our trip an absolute pleasure. We are already trying to figure out summer plans at this location.
