Immerse yourself in the beauty and adventure of Northern Michigan in this exquisitely renovated, centrally located two-story lakefront home on the serene Crooked Lake. The Blue Bird Lake House is the perfect retreat for families eager to explore year-round activities, conveniently situated just minutes from the charming towns of Petoskey and Harbor Springs, as well as the popular Nubs Nob ski resort and The Highlands. Here, outdoor enthusiasts can indulge in a wealth of activities, from boating and golfing in the warmer months to skiing and snowmobiling in the snowy season. For an exhilarating cycling experience, the scenic Little Traverse Wheelway is right across the road from the rental. Create lasting memories in this inviting lakeside haven!
This thoughtfully remodeled home showcases an expansive open floor plan that invites natural light and highlights great views of the lake. The heart of the home is a modern and cozy kitchen, featuring gleaming new appliances, elegant granite countertops, and a charming custom breakfast nook with bar seating, perfect for casual meals or morning coffee.
The spacious living area, designed for relaxation and togetherness, offers dual fieldstone fireplaces that add warmth and a cozy ambiance. Adjacent to this area, the three-season sunroom opens up to a stunning lakeside patio. This outdoor space is ideal for grilling delicious meals, lounging in the sun, or enjoying peaceful evenings under the stars.

The property features an impressive 54 feet of hard-packed sandy beach with shallow, crystal-clear waters that gently slope to a depth of approximately 2-3 feet deep, making it perfect for cooling off, playing frisbee, or letting children joyfully splash about on warm Northern Michigan days. If you have a watercraft, you have access to the Inland Waterway which connects Crooked Lake, Pickerel Lake, Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and Lake Huron, providing plenty of entertainment on the water! Just a stone's throw away, a nearby trail seamlessly connects to the picturesque Hailand Nature Preserve and Fochtman Preserve, intertwining with the Little Traverse Wheelway and leading to the breathtaking natural beauty of Petoskey State Park.
