We've been coming to this lake every year for almost two decades, location is one of the best on the lake being 100 yards from the boat ramp. Beds available will easily sleep 10 with no one being relegated to the couch. Two AC controls for those who may want it cooler/warmer than others. Few rooms in the house have been modernized with a contemporary feel and look, others you can live in the 1950's vibe. There is sufficient parking in the front for 3-4 trucks with full size boat trailers. There is power at the cabana to plug in beached boats, will need 100-150' of extension cord. The lit cabana outside was a nice touch at night. No local TV, need to have a digital subscription to watch anything (Netflix, Youtube TV, Roku, etc.). Owner is quick to contact with any issues via a phone call. There are a few convenience issues the owners are aware of and are looking to correct/resolve prior to the next visitors.

Thank you for your review, Michael! We’re sorry we didn’t do a better job communicating the amenities available during your stay. We do have power available at the end of the dock, in addition to the cabana at the shoreline, making it easy to recharge any electric devices on the boat. We also want our guests to enjoy their favorite shows and games, and our TVs are typically pre-logged into YouTube for convenient access to streaming content. We apologize that two of the grill burners weren’t working during your visit, and we appreciate you bringing that to our attention so we could replace the grill. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another great stay!

Our Second Year for the 4th of July

For the second year in a row, my family had an amazing time! My nephew has a boat and the proximity to Bob's Landing is so convenient. Plenty to do with the smaller children, great fishing for the bigger folks and just a wonderful property for the entire family! We hope to stay for a third year!!!

Great holiday getaway

We spent the Fourth of July weekend at this cute lake home. It was a perfect spot for us to bring our boat and enjoy hanging out with our family and friends. The neighbors were friendly. The grocery store was a 20 minute drive away, not a big deal, just something to be aware of. We would definitely return for another stay.

Angeline, thank you for your kind review. We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Sorry you had to drive so far for the grocery store! I should leave a map of closest grocery stores. We have a save a lot south of us in Froatproof that is 8 minutes away and if you take the backroads you can get to the Publix in Lake Wales in 16 minutes. There’s also a Dollar General that has a surprising amount of groceries 5 minutes away. Hopefully that’s helpful if you come again :)

Perfect family weekend!

Charming home! Very clean, well maintained home with a great beach area and nice dock. Very spacious, we had two families that stayed and had plenty of room. We also had guests over for birthday party and Easter dinner. Chris (owner) was great to work with, very responsive ... great communication. Highly recommend this home if your looking for a family, fun filled vacation. We will definitely go back.

Great 4th of July Getaway!

We enjoyed a fun weekend with extended family at Crooked Lake. Perfect for a large family to relax and get away together. The boat ramp is very conveniently located and the lake offers plenty of room for water sports. Lots to explore. The community puts on a fabulous firework display in the center of the lake. Definitely bring your bug spray for evenings!

Memories At the Lake

The house was perfect for family time at the lake. There’s plenty of room to rest and relax. The dock and gazebo is a great place to have a cup of coffee watch the kids play in the water. The boat ramp is next door which makes it easy to bring your boat ashore. There’s plenty of games to play along with a cool ping pong table. Just a wonderful place to stay.

Great lay out well stocked enough beds and sitting inside and outside love the covered gazebo on the sand the only thing we thought the dock needed a ladder to get in and out of the water when you wanted to jump off of it

Everyone in our group agreed that this place was a gem! We had everything we needed, plenty of room, very clean, beds were super comfortable, and it just felt like home the minute we walked in.

My Favorite Hiding Spot

This home has won the title of my new favorite hiding spot. If you want to escape from the crazy constant world we live in, this is the place. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a fire, fished, played corn hole, played pool, and watched movies. We loved the amazing sunrises and watching all the lake come to life with all the creatures who live there. Everything we needed was there though we did venture out to Frostproof for a nice breakfast, and another night to the Frostbite. We also enjoyed the Crooked Bass' seafood..top notch. This is the true definition of a lake house, and my only complaint was that the time went way too fast, and I wish you were closer to us in PA. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise.
