Nearby there are restaurants, ice cream shops, and trails for hikers, bikers, and snowmobilers.
This single-story lake cottage is bright, open, and welcoming — with large windows throughout that offer beautiful lake views. The main living area has a cozy stone fireplace, comfortable seating, which flows into the fully equipped kitchen.

Please note: While you’re welcome to enjoy the lake from our dock and use the kayaks, swimming directly from the property is not recommended due to the lakebed conditions near shore.

Location near center of the lake was nice. Close to restaurants and stores. Kitchen was not well stocked for cooking. There was plenty of counter and cupboard space but only one frying pan, one small cutting board, and one sharp knife. Some storage bowls would have been nice. The back deck could be much more comfortable if there was more shade. The gazebo on the side of the house was not convenient and covered in spiderwebs. We didn't use it. We were not told the paddleboat was broken, I was glad I asked before we tried using it. The main bathroom shower floor was very slippery. We bought a bath mat after my elderly father nearly fell in the shower.

Amazing!
I spent the Fourth of July weekend at this home and had an amazing time. The house was clean and had all the amenities you would need. The home was spacious on the inside with three bedrooms, a pull out couch and futon. The location was amazing. Right on the water, with the use of kayaks and a paddle boat. The neighborhood was safe. The little town was cute with a dollar general, a couple restaurants and a coffee shop. The hosts were great! I have been to many vacation homes and this was at the top of my list because of the location, the home size and the hosts.

Excellent
Only got to spend a long weekend but wish it was longer. We had a great time and definitely will be back. Randy and Amber are excellent hosts. They answered every question promptly and helped with anything we needed. The home and yard is beautiful and exceptionally clean. I’ve never stayed anywhere else that I have had a better experience. Every littledetail was attended to. If you need a relaxing getaway this is the place!

Great family vacation!
My family and I (5 adults) recently stayed here and throughly enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room and everyone was comfortable. The pontoon boat was a great addition to our week there.

Back to Crooked Lake
My parents lived on the lake for over 20 years. When this property popped up we decided to give it a go. My husband and I and another couple, had a delightful 5 nights. We got just what we wanted, peace , quiet, and fun!!!

Mom's birthday/mini-vacation
Overall, we had a great time. The location was great and not too far of a drive. Small town atmosphere, and everyone was friendly. The house is very nice and roomy. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable.
We absolutely loved the pontoon and enjoyed taking it around the lake!
The house was very nice, but wish there would have been pictures of the long walk from the garage to the house. It might have changed if we would have booked. It was very hard for my mom to walk that far, so she didn't make many trips with us.
One suggestion for the kitchen - more bowls (mixing/serving). We used the casserole dishes that were in the cupboard. Also, some serving spoons as well would be nice.

We especially enjoyed the spaciousness of this home, as well as the location and the cleanliness.
Hosts were very prompt handling any minor issues we had.
