Affordable Big Crooked Lake waterfront cabin within walking distance of ice cream, pizza, and breweries. This lake cottage is a two-story with a balcony overlooking the lake with fabulous views. There are open areas designated for dining and living room use, with a bath on each level. The main bathroom is remodeled and includes a tiled shower. Two bedrooms on each floor, and there is also a sitting area upstairs. Enjoy that first cup of coffee on your lakeside deck. 40' of sandy beach frontage with no seawall. Garden/toy shed. Big Crooked Lake is an all sport lake in the resort area of Sister Lakes, Michigan. The Lake Life is fabulous, but Sister Lakes has much more to offer. Taste the freshest produce from the local produce stands. Sample beers at our new breweries. Take a wine tour. SW Michigan offers 30 different venues. Great golf courses are just around the corner. Winter enjoyment, too, with miles of snowmobile trails and ice fishing. Sister Lakes is less than two hours from Chicago and just over 30 minutes from Notre Dame.
