Crappie Cottage (named for the fish) is the perfect spot for a couples' retreat or a family gathering -- featuring fishing, swimming, and lots of spots to relax. Charming, but not rustic (WiFi, 3 LCD TVs, DVD), it's equipped with everything you need except food and bait. There's a covered boat dock for fishing and you can moor a boat dockside. There's a large swim dock next door for playing or sunning.

If there are more than 6 of you, consider adding the ANNEX, which is a separate, private suite for two located next door. It includes a king bed, full bath, parlor, screened porch, patio and it comes with use of a golf cart.
Crappie Cottage is in a park-like setting in a quiet residential cove, and
Horseshoe Bend is one of the nicest areas of the lake, providing golf and fine dining on the Bend and a wide choice of vacation activities within a 15 minute drive.

Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(38 traveler reviews)
Great place, throughly enjoyed our stay. Minor improvements could be made to add the 2 stars.
Access to the location is NOT motorcycle friendly and 4WD or AWD at minimum is necessary to safely negotiate the access road in and out of the property. The roadway is steep with sharp turns, but maintained. The house and areas were clean and all questions or needs were addressed in a timely manner. Very much enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. We found multiple (4-6) light bulbs burnt out in track lighting and/or area lighting simply not working and landscaping could use some attention as well, but the home was fully functional and very nice. This location is perfect for a fishing trip or family lake excursion. Would very much consider returning to this VRBO!
Perfect for our family
My family (husband, 3 teenagers, and dog) and I thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Crabbie Cottage in late August 2017. The cottage was extremely clean, bright, comfortable, and well-provisioned: there were ample towels, an emergency medical kit under the kitchen sink, and everything we could need for grilling. A looseleaf binder provided helpful information, such as operating instructions and restaurant recommendations. The owners responded to questions promptly (both when I e-mailed in advance or phoned once we were there) and did more than expected whenever a slight difficulty arose: e.g. Candy brought a suitable baking dish when I mentioned wanting to make a birthday cake and an extra electric fan in case we needed it. They were also very friendly! We spent most of our time hanging around inside or on the decks or taking advantage of the private dock, where we found a kayak and plenty of "toys" for playing with in the water. Our family would definitely hope to stay there again if vacationing in the area.
Colorado family had a great week on the lake!!!
Everything was great! The location in a quiet cove was perfect for our family and we used the swim dock a lot. Everything we needed was in the house. The only problem was our dogs with the small ticks. We had to pick off a ton of them every night. A tick collar for your dog would be a good idea.
Whole family loved our week at the Crappie Cottage!!!
My husband and I, long with our 4 adult children thoroughly enjoyed our week spent at the Crappie Cottage. Being at the back of the cove and the amount of waterfront at our disposal, made it a perfect spot for swimming/floating on the lake. We also rented the optional annex, which gave us all plenty of space. Both the cottage and the annex were updated and tastefully and comfortably decorated. Jerry and Candy provided everything we needed other than food and clothing.....things we would have never expected from floats for the lake, to pain relievers in the vanity drawers. So thoughtful! They also were very responsive to any requests or contacts both before and during our stay. but gave us our space and privacy to fully enjoy our vacation.
Great property and location and super friendly hosts.
Our family enjoyed the Crappie Cottage. The home was perfect for our 7 person group. The kids enjoyed fishing from the docks and playing at the "beach". We grilled out every night on the Weber grill. The dock was great for our rented boat as well. The location was perfect for swimming and accessing great coves for boating. The owners are very accommodating and responded very quickly to any question we had. We will consider returning.
Spectacular trip at the Crappie Cottage
Not only was this an awesome lakefront retreat but had everything you would expect. The view was beautiful and property was great. . The owners were great and very considerate to make sure our stay was great. The deck was great and you sat right on the waterfront. Thank you for everything. Much more than I expected.
