We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house! From themoment we arrived, we felt relaxed and welcomed. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were fantastic-friendly, responsive, and thoughtful, making sure every detail was taken care of. Their hospitality truly made our experience even more enjoyable. It was the perfect place to unwind, whether we were boating or relaxing by the water, enjoying meals together, or on the deck watching the sunset. Thank you! Blessings Terri & Steve

The house was perfect for us grandparents, adult children and grandchildren to enjoy the large inside areas with a great kitchen, sectionals for relaxing and watching TV, ping pong, games, upstairs sectioned bathroom, nice bedrooms, comfy beds, multiple seating areas and decks, one with a fire table, the beach area, fire pit, paddle board, and of course, the lake itself. The weekend was a little busy at times on the lake, but it was barely busy during the week so wakeboarding, skiing, and tubing were great at anytime. They had so many boating things to use, and the tubes were great! Basin 2 was especially good for surfing. It was a great week at the lake for us!

Wonderful family vacation

We had a wonderful week at Bill and Connie’s lake house!!! They thought of everything that we may need or want for us to have a great week. The house is beautiful and there was plenty of room for our group. We loved watching the sunsets every night on one of their decks. The sandy beach and swimming area was great for the kids. Thank you so much for a wonderful week that we will never forget!!

Fun family time on Crooked Lake!

We had an amazing stay at the lake for our family get together/birthday celebration. The house was very clean, comfortable, and was equipped with everything we needed - including plenty of toys for the kiddos. The hosts were fantastic - very responsive and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. We'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and family-friendly getaway. We hope to be back soon!

Crooked lake at its best

We enjoyed staying at this house for a week with our family. They had everything we needed from kitchen supplies to toys for the kids to stuff to swim with.So really we didn’t have to bring much but food in ourselves in our suitsI would recommend any family staying here very beautiful home and the decks are phenomenal.The Sandy beach was a number one hit with our three year-old he loved it. It does have a lot of stairs, but we just took it as exercise. Thanks again for helping us make memories. We had fun.

Great family vacation!

The house and property were enjoyed by our kids and grandkids. The house included the essentials you need for a vacation house. A lot of toys for entertainment for the young ones. Was even able to catch a few fish off the dock. Bill and Connie were very accommodating as we needed to re-schedule due to a hurricane in our home state of Florida. Would highly recommend this house for your next vacation.

Wonderful Memories

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lake house property where there was plenty of room and so many things to do for both adults and children inside and out. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. Everything was very clean. Bill and Connie were quick to respond to any inquiries we may have had. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful and cozy place for us to continue to make memories.

Wonderful Lakehouse

We loved our week at this perfect spot. It was beautifully decorated, spacious, and had wonderful outdoor decks with great views. The lower level was perfect for the 4 teens to hang out. The younger three also had their perfect spot upstairs. The shed by the lake had everything you need for a beach vacation including a lily pad, and a large assortment of life jackets. We rented a 24 foot pontoon and it was easily docked at the pier and the knee board and wake board were used by all 7 grandchildren! But the most appreciated part was the ability to text Connie any questions and receive a prompt reply. She was wonderful!! Thank you Connie and Bill for sharing your lovely home with us for our yearly summer vacation!

Relaxing home with tons of space

Really loved this place. Great collection of toys for kids both in the house and at the water. We loved having 2 living spaces one on the ground floor near the kitchen and one in the basement for the kids with games toys and a tv. The older people with us had trouble with the hill from the boat dock to the house, the incline followed by the stairs was a bit much for them. We rented a boat for the week, it was a large pontoon and it did fit on the dock. Would absolutely return and recommend.

We are absolutely thrilled with our choice of this home for Trine graduation weekend. Connie and Bill were over the top accommodating.

Their home is immaculate and everything you need they have in property. The are very responsive to anything you may need or want.

Family Summer Fun

We have rented a number of properties through VRBO and this was indeed one of the best. Great place for family, with children. The communication from Bill and Connie was excellent. The description of the property and all the "extras" was excellent. The access to the shed by the lake was a huge plus as was the amaziing play room for the kids. The only concern was the deck with the metal wires made us a little nervous with the younger grandkids. Like I mentioned before the place was excellent. One other side note; the neighbors were very friendly and made the stay even more enjoyable. I would recommend this to any group. Thanks again to Bill and Connie.

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Connie

Host profile image
We met on the waterfront as teenagers and after 44 years of marriage, 3 children and 7 grandchildren and lots of "water" vacations, we decided that Crooked Lake and area provided all of the things we love to do as a family!

Why they chose this property

Our family vacationed many years on this lake and we love it! We love time on the water, skiing ,wake boarding and tubing and this lake is perfect for it! This home provides plenty of space for all the generations to gather together for a great vacation! It also provides enough room, privacy and comfort to wind down from a great day on the water!

What makes this property unique

We have thought of all the things families need and do not want to have to bring on vacation. We have a well equipped kitchen, many children's toys, books and games. The large lakeside deck allows for relaxation and spectacular views. Our shed at the waterfront is available for your use with lifejackets, skis, tube, ropes, refrigerator, kayaks and a sandpit at edge of water with sand toys. Dock space for your boat. Plenty of parking for your boat trailer and cars.
