Where Memories Begin — Lakefront Cottage- 100 ft. of sandy shore Tucked along the golden, sandy shores of the crystal-clear 500 acre all sports Crooked Lake, this charming lakefront cottage is more than just a home — it’s a place where memories are made. Wake up to the sounds of gentle waves lapping against 100 feet of private sandy frontage, and spend your days fishing, boating, or swimming in the heart of one of Northern Michigan’s most beloved all-sports lakes. The cottage is located at the end of a dead end road with woods behind you, you really feel like you re in a private setting. This end of crooked lake is known for its fishing. Inside, the open-concept great room welcomes you with soaring cathedral ceilings and panoramic water views through expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. Whether you're gathered around the dining table or relaxing in the cozy living room, the lake is always in sight. A door leads out to the covered porch, the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun dips below the horizon. The well-maintained home features three comfortable bedrooms, one large bedroom is in the loft with skylights, and the other two bedrooms are on the main level, the full bath has laundry, and a detached garage is perfect for parking or extra storage. A unique feature is a working plumbed outhouse. Recent updates include a new roof, and best of all — this home comes fully furnished and move-in ready, complete with a private dock waiting at the water’s edge. Just minutes from downtown Lake City and a short drive to Cadillac, Traverse City, and Lake Michigan, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy year-round activities — from the legendary “Greatest 4th in the North” to snowmobiling and ORV trails. Whether it's a summer retreat or a four-season getaway, this lakefront gem is ready for your next chapter. Bring your suitcase — and start your story on Crooked Lake.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
