Family time We were able to enjoy each other's company, while cooking out, camp fires, and kayaking. The home was comfortable, and cozy, with interesting details.

Family reunion 2025 Property was very welcoming. The 5 of us enjoyed ourselves and the lake;kayaking. Only thing I would recommend is a grab bar in the shower. We will recommend this little cottage on crooked lake to our friends. We had a wonderful week.

Very neat home on the lake This home was exactly what we needed for our stay. Two full bathrooms, a nice kitchen area, an amazing basement with living room and kitchenette (that we unfortunately didn't have time to use), and a beautiful outdoor area. We were out and about almost the entire time we were in town, but this home made me wish we would have spent more time at it. 5/5, I would definitely book this location again.

Super cute and clean lake house We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties, and this is my favorite. The neighborhood is great for running (or walking), the location on the lake (with a perfect sunset view) is ideal for relaxing in the sun, kayaking, bonfires, and making memories with my family. The house decor is super cute and updated, the beds are comfy, and we loved the extra large space to hang out on the lower level with lots of games and a big table table to play on. There’s also a kitchen downstairs with an extra fridge/freezer, a super comfy couch and chairs for watching movies, bathroom and laundry room, too. The gas grill worked great for cookouts. Really the house had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation, and I highly recommend it.
