We had a wonderful stay at this home. We had a relaxing week full of family time and new memories made on the lake. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be booking again.

Great lake cottage with everything you need for a weekend getaway. Close to town yet far enough out for peace and quiet. If you like to bass fish then this is the place for you!

Overall it was a good fit for us. Did want to mention the propane that was attached to the grill ran out. We could not get the second tank open. Also the front right burner worked, then didn’t, then did again. Not sure what was wrong with that.

From the Owner: "Thank you for your review from your recent stay at my Crooked Lake home. I will replace gas propane tank and be ready for the next renter. Also, my handyman has worked on the front right burner before so I’ll call him to come check it out. Glad you had a nice stay and I apologize for the Propane Gas tank running out. Thank you."

House was great, back porch was the main reason we booked it. Really long drive way with circle drive so made it easy for boat trailer parking. The house is an older house and could use some upgrades but for a short term we were fine with it. The water is well and no softener so there is a smell but we enjoyed our time like always. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We're so glad the back porch and the long circle driveway made boat trailer parking easy, and that you had a great time overall. We appreciate the honest feedback about the house's age and the well water smell. As an older lakehouse, it does have some charm along with a few quirks, including the natural well water smell that comes with the territory. We're glad those things didn't get in the way of another enjoyable stay, and we appreciate you continuing to share your time with us here.
