Great Lake Experience

We had a wonderful stay. The cottages were nicely updated and had everything we needed for the weekend. The host communicated well when we had questions. We would definitely come back.

Cute but water issue in lower house

Both houses are decorated nicely and it sleeps quite a number of people. Top house is great. Bottom house has cute decor. Paddle boats and kayaks are great to be able to use. However the water at the bottom house was an issue for us. There is a very strong sulfur smell when you used the hot water even when we tried to run for 5-10 minute thinking it was water left in the water tank. It was strong enough that no one was able to take a shower in that house (everyone used the one bathroom in the top house) and the sulfuric smell lingered quite a bit. Communication with owner when we had a couple of questions was quick and efficient when we had a couple of questions and very helpful and kind.

Great location

We loved the location and private swim area. A few improvements to be made: - lots of ants on the upper cottage deck, constantly searching for food - lots of bees outside, making eating on either deck or by the water nearly impossible. One of our 4 year olds was stung on the ear. - large depression on the hill going down to the fire pit — one person severely twisted their ankle and took a nasty fall Overall good and we hope to return again someday. Thank you!

Multi-Generational Family Stay

We had a great weekend at Crooked Lake! This property was everything that we were hoping for. We were pleasantly surprised that the lake bottom in front of these cottages was sandy, completely free of lake weeds until you get out past the dock. The water was also wonderfully shallow for quite a ways out, which was so fantastic for the three toddlers in our group. We used the kayaks everyday and the paddle board was a favorite! The views of the sunrise and sunset were just beautiful and exactly what you'd imagine at a lake getaway. The AC window units worked well to keep things cool but they were very noisy. The only space we noticed that didn't get cool was the loft. The kitchen was very well appointed with absolutely anything you could possibly need. There were very minor maintenance issues that could be addressed: the slider to the top deck would get tight and difficult to move halfway open, the latch on the upper cottage's back door would get stuck on the plate so it was hard to lock up the door back again, and the barn doors in the lower cottage would come off the tracks if pushed too hard or in the wrong direction (as kids tend to do). We loved that both of the houses were one story inside. It made it very easy to baby proof and let the toddlers and kids go free in the house. We also extremely appreciated having plenty of plastic plates and cups! It felt really kid friendly, which was exactly what we were looking for. We are so glad we stayed here!
