Looking for the perfect Northern Michigan escape? Be sure to check out this cozy cottage nestled on a private drive with shared access to Crooked Lake.
The Hideaway is an older cottage full of character with a private backyard and shared access to Crooked Lake. It actually has some fun history behind it and was used as a hideout by bank robbers back when the Mackinaw City bank heist took place. We wanted to keep that historical feel so this place has that traditional lake cottage charm with some modern conveniences that will make your stay more comfortable.
It is located on a small, shared easement close to the main US-31 highway. There are only about 5 houses on Cedar Lane. It is close to the main highway US-31, but is tucked behind a row of trees to help with the noise and privacy. There is a shared access point to Crooked Lake at the end of of the private drive. Kayaks are available for your use, the main bike path is across the road, and marina is in walking distance.
The Hideaway is also conveniently located near Harbor Springs Downtown (10 minute drive), Petoskey (12 minute drive), the Mackinac Bridge (30 miles north), and Mackinac Island Ferry Service (28 miles north).
For summer guests, it’s located close to local marinas, the bike trail, hiking, state parks and much more! For fall and winter guests, it’s located close to orchards, the tunnel of trees, snowmobile trails, and the ski hills.
We were born and raised in Northern Michigan and love all that it has to offer! We can’t wait to host your stay and are more than happy to help with local recommendations.
Alanson is home to this cottage. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Lake Michigan and Petoskey State Park, while Little Traverse History Museum and Andrew J. Blackbird Museum are cultural highlights. Cheboiganing Preserve and Big Bear Adventures are also worth visiting. Take an opportunity to explore the area for outdoor excitement like hiking.
