Atlanta House | Lakefront Vacation home 2800 Sq/ft. Includes kayaks and canoes

4 Bedroom House in Atlanta

We’d love to share our home with you—a place our family has truly enjoyed for getting away from it all, savoring the outdoors, and spending time together away from distractions. We do provide WIFI and a couple of televisions for family movie nights or catching up on a favorite show. But if you’re looking for more tech-driven comforts and climate controls, this might not be the right fit for your getaway.
Our spacious 2800 sq/ft home has been designed to maximize the beauty of the surrounding outdoors, with large windows, vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, and expansive views across Crooked Lake and the protected state land beyond. Whether you’re here to unplug, to get active, or to enjoy peaceful moments by the water, there’s something for everyone.
Highlights of the Home:
- Two living areas for gathering—our downstairs media room has a 65-inch HDTV and a collection of classic DVDs, while the upstairs offers a cozy space for reading or conversation.
- Workout room (17 x 20 feet) with equipment for those who like to stay active—treadmill, weights, Nordic Track, and a heavy bag.
- Private dock on this quiet, no-wake lake with two kayaks and a canoe available for your use. Paddle out in peace with no Jet Skis or speedboats to interrupt the tranquility.
- Fire pit by the shore—perfect for evenings spent sharing stories under the stars.
- Concrete half-court basketball area for some friendly competition.
- Lake views from nearly every room.
- Washer, dryer, all linens and cooking essentials provided to keep things simple.
- Three bathrooms to comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests.
Also on our one-acre property you’ll find a two-and-a-half car garage with a small workshop. Please note that the garage must be manually opened. We also have a dog kennel for hunting dogs - this is getting a bit old, but reach out and we can share more pictures and details.
The area is an expansive outdoor space for running, hiking, or simply soaking in the natural setting. I grew up running and hiking the roads and trails between Crooked Lake and Avery Lake with my late father and friends. Feel free to ask for suggested routes if you are keen to hit the trails.
Come explore the charm of three nearby small towns, enjoy northern Michigan’s attractions without the crowds, and relax by the quiet waters of Crooked Lake. Golf courses, elk viewing tours, biking, and hundreds of miles of trails are all just a short drive (or paddle) away. We are a day trip to Mackinaw City and the ferry to the 7,000-acre Mackinaw State Park. and perfect for hiking, paddling, fishing, and watching for local wildlife—you might even see elk feeding along the edge of the woods.
We invite you to come enjoy the peace and quiet as we do—slow down, disconnect, and make lasting memories in the woods and on the water.
If you crave all the latest technology or need more extensive entertainment systems, this probably isn’t the best fit. But if you’re longing for the simplicity of quality time together, fresh air, and a true Up-North Michigan experience, we think you’ll love it as much as we do.

Summary: Tried to message privately, but was unable to they VRBO. For the price charged, this was a disappointment. There is/was animal feces on the floor in the weight room, stained sheets on one of the beds, and when I went to find new ones, dirty unfolded linen was shoved into the dresser drawers. The king bed was made up with flannel sheets, and with no other apparent clean ones, we had to use those in the middle of July. Fixtures were falling off of the walls, and wall paper falling down in a bathroom. The jacuzzi tub was filthy, one of the reclining chair had fabric that was literally shredded and dangling on the side and back, and a ladder, totes and rugs shoved into a corner of one bedroom. Bed frame was duck taped together and a dresser mirror just sitting in the floor, not to mention the huge cobweb in the dining room window. If there is someone else caring for this, it needs a lot of work to be charging that much per night.

Summary: We stayed at Papa Bear for 3 nights and 4 days. Marc was communicative and helpful. We had access to all the boats--the kayaks were the highlight of our trip! The lake is stunning. The house has all the supplies you need. There were trundle beds in the bedroom, so we fit everybody comfortably, and the kids really enjoyed the downstairs excercise room! The private dock was also a very peaceful spot. We enjoyed a bonfire in the lakeside firepit and a barbecue on the big deck. The house has games and DVDs as well as a smart TV, which added to our vacation time. The master bedroom is beautiful and overlooks the lake with big windows. Everything was designed with comfort and family in mind. It was very peaceful and cozy and there were plenty of blankets and sheets for all. Marc is very kind and did not invade at all but was there when needed. I would reccommend this vacation home for any family!

Summary: We had a great time at Papa Bear on Crooked Lk. The kids fished off the dock, kayaked and went for a boat ride with me. We visited Clear Lake State Park to swim one day, and also used the beach on Croocked Lake a couple times. At night we sat around the fire and listened to owls, loons, and other wildlife under a star filled sky. The house/cabin was plenty big enough for all of us. The common space down stairs was a favorite of the kids to watch TV at night. Having 3 bathrooms was a plus also. The property manager was extremely responsive, and very helpful when I had questions. Only downsides are no beach at cabin for young kids to play(which we knew about going in), and the dock is old and in need of repair. I only gave 4 stars on cleanliness, because it was clean enough for me, but my wife thought it was a bit dusty, and was not a fan of the cobwebs that were in the corners. Other than that it was pretty clean. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a relaxing time in northern Michigan!

Summary: Marc is very responsive to inquiries even during your stay. The property has everything you’d need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The serene lake is just the thing for a relaxing yet fun time. You have access to several boats and motors. There’s a hot tub and fire pit and a couple of grills. Marc has thought if it all!
