Crooked Lake--Enjoy Every Season in This Home that Has it All!
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:No
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Very cozy, colorfully decorated, adorable cottage, but surprisingly large inside. The L-Z Getaway is a great place to stay every season of the year.
If looking for a WINTER getaway, this place is perfect after a day of tobogganing at Pokagon State Park or ice-fishing on Crooked Lake. At the end of the day, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and a book (some provided) in the sitting area off of the master bedroom. This area has a sleeper/sofa, rocker and two comfy chairs with ottomans. If it is a movie you prefer, curl up in front of one of five tv's (small video library) or visit the Strand or Brokaw Theatre (both quaint, old theatres located in Downtown Angola). Cook in and use the fully equipped kitchen or visit one of our favorite restaurants including Caruso's and Acupulco Grill.
SPRING time brings new life and with it are the hilly, winding roads that are great for bike-riding or walking. The Master Bedroom offers a balcony that is a great way to wake up in the morning with a view of the lake, Tom's Donut and cup of coffee. After the cold Steuben County Winters, the crappies, walleye and bluegill are waiting to be caught by a fisherman. The L-Z Getaway offers a ping-pong table, foosball and basketball goal on site, along with some board games. So enjoy challenging one another. Activites that are near-by include golf courses, putt-putt, bowling, and go-cart racing just to name a few.
SUMMER has it all...boating, jet skiing, swimming, wake-boarding or just lounging in the sun. This home is located 200 feet from the Second Basin of Crooked Lake. There is a bridge that takes you to the pier and swimming area that has a nice sandy bottom. If you are wanting to lay out in the sun while the little ones are napping, there is a comfy double lounger on one balcony and two separate loungers on the master bedroom balcony. There is a sand bar on First Basin and ski course on the Third Basin of Crooked Lake. Enjoy your meals outside under the umbrella table on the patio. Grill out with the gas grill provided, or take out from Captain's Cabin which you can get to by boat or car. Scoop's is our favorite ice cream place after a day in the sun.
FALL is an absolutely beautiful time of year to be at the Lake with all of the changing colors. Get in that last boat ride before winter sets in. Fall is a perfect time of year to do a car excursion...Satek Winery (10 miles), Buffalo Preserve (10 miles), Shipshewana (30 miles), WWII Victory Museum or Auburn/Cord Duesenberg Museum (30 miles) to name a few places to visit. Shopping? Fremont Outlet Mall is just 9 miles away and Downtown Angola offers many Antique and Collectible Stores. At the end of the day, enjoy s'mores around the firepit.

We rented this property to celebrate Christmas 2012. The location is a perfect 1/2 way meeting place for those traveling from Cleveland and Chicago area. The pictures on the website are very accurate, but it is so much more in person. It is colorful, fun, bright, cheery, roomy, and inviting. There were 10 of us, we had plenty of space for all kinds of activities. We also cooked Christmas dinner and we could not believe how well equipped the kitchen is.Lots of fun antique shops locally to shop also. We would all recommend this property to friends and other family members.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We just completed a fall golf/shopping get-away weekend and loved the house. The home is beautifully decorated and absolutely immaculate. It's an impressively large house and has everything you could possibly need. Location is great and works for most anything...golf, hiking, lake activities, shopping. It's the perfect choice for relaxing and/or exploring the local area. Owners are extremely responsive and had everything in perfect shape. You can't go wrong with this choice!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My family of 15 just stayed at the lake house and everything was great. The house was so cozy and it was more than enough room for all of us! We enjoyed being able to walk out to the lake and get right on the boat. The neighbors were very friendly. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils and the kids loved eating at the snack bar.The ping pong table in the garage was also a big hit with us. This house was a wonderful getaway!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We rented this vacation home the third week in June. With this being such a hot year, even the third week in June was hot and we appreciated having a air conditioned house. The lake was easily accessible. We enjoyed sitting on the pier and swimming in the lake. The house is very adequate and was fun for our family. There was even a pack and play for our grandbaby. The kitchen is clean and has almost everything imaginable to make a cooking easy. We also enjoyed having a campfire one night. We spent quite a lot of time playing yard games and ping pong. One day we went to the Shipshewana flea market and ate at the Blue Gate Restuarant. It was only 44 miles away. We had a very fun, lazy summer vacation and it felt wonderful!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our high school friends were looking for a place to reconnect and spend a few days together talking about old times. We discovered this wonderful cottage that served all our needs. It is bright, colorful, clean and very spacious. We picked up where we left off almost 42 years ago. What a great place to reunite with old friends!Recommended for: Girls getaway.

Annually, our family tries to get away for at least a few days together and this year's selection hit the mark with the Crooked Lake house.We were there for 3 nights and wished it were for a couple of more. It was spacious enough for 15 of us and had everything that we needed to feel at home there from the minute we stepped inside. The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you need to prepare a large family meal.The location to the lake was very good with the house being just across the street from the water. It had a beautiful view from the 2nd floor deck that you never get tired of. We made a visit to Satek Winery, the Buffalo Preserve and also went to Pokagon State Park and had a blast on the toboggan run. My wife also spearheaded a scavenger hunt that everyone had a great time with. Speaking for the entire family, I can highly recommend this vacation home for friends or family.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: We would like to clarify that the street is actually just a lane that services about a dozen lake-front cottages. The main street is behind our home.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: We recently purchased this home after leasing it and sub-letting it for 9 months. We have rented in the Angola area for 15 years and absolutely fell in love with this home last summer and all it has to offer any time of the year. We have created many family memories in the short time that we have rented and now owned this home with our four sons, daughters-in law and grandson. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to allow others to enjoy this home and create their own family and friend memories.
Why the Owner Chose Angola:
This cottage is only minutes from I-69. It is on one of the largest and cleanest lakes in northern Indiana.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
We love all the aspects of the lake. Boating, swimming, jet-skiing, tubing, playing games, walking. Great place to be with family and friends.
