Fun with Family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Crooked Lake House. The view was beautiful. The fish were biting, and Kelly was a great host! The space was perfect for our family gatherings and intense board game playing! We took advantage of everything, kayaks, standing paddle board, campfire, barbecue, and lounging in the sun.

Weekend getaway

My family and I were in town for my brothers wedding and we were looking for a place to fit all of us and came across Kelly’s property. The beautiful pictures online do not even do it Justice. We had a wonderful time there and wish we could’ve stayed for a longer time. We have all already made plans to book another vacation there next year. Would definitely recommend!!

My friends and I had an amazing time staying at this lakeside home. The space was clean, the amenities were great, and we had a great time sitting around the fire and sitting by the lake! The host communicated clearly and cosnsistently whenever we had questions. I will definitely be coming back. It was a tranquil and relaxing weekend.

Beautiful lake house - can't wait to visit again

This house deserves the highest possible rating! Beautiful, spacious home on a relaxing lake. Great kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, as well as a grill, griddle, and fire pit outside. We had such a blast swimming and boating in the lake, hanging out on the dock, and checking out local restaurants and farms. Kelly was extraordinarily nice. She made our stay so easy and pleasant. We all agreed--can't wait to visit Crooked Lake again!

Spacious and modern Lake House

We rented Kelly’s Lake House for a winter break weekend to go snowboarding at Jiminy Peak (20+mins away) in MA. It was a last minute booking for us. We were amazed by a wonderful house with lots of space and some nice welcome treats. The house is right on the water, modern / minimalistic, and well equipped with all essentials and a kitchen ready for any cooking. Nice and comfortable beds and heated floors. Can recommend for both winter and summer.

A bridal shower get away

This house on Crooked Lake was exactly what we needed as we gathered with family for a bridal shower. Kelly made us feel welcome from the start and check in was super easy. The house was beyond our expectations! Comfortable, clean and quiet. The deck was the perfect place for early morning coffee and bird peeping! The huge fireplace with the comfy living room furniture was perfect for cozy reading places. We gathered at the fire pit at night to roast marshmallows. We will definitely be back!!!!

Simply spectacular and amazing experience!

We stayed at this beautiful property over the holidays with our extended family and could not have been happier! The house sits directly on a lake and in our opinion, the pictures do not do justice to how fantastic it is! The house was very comfortable for our entire family which had our mom (82 years old) and little kids (8-11). The hosts were really so friendly and accommodating which made us extra special. The location is about 20 minutes from Jiminy Peak Ski resort which made it easy to take our kids skiing. Overall, a fantastic experience. We hope to be back in summer to enjoy this house.

Perfect Weekend

My extended family and I enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at this property. I parked the car and never needed to leave. The house is very modern and sophisticated with a top notch kitchen. There was plenty of parking even with a few guests stopping by for a little bit. The owner was extremely helpful, always a text message away and even stopped down to say hello. We had the best time fishing right off the deck, wonderful views, a fire every night and we were even treated to a fire work show to close out the weekend. The children had a great time swimming, kayaking and of course, fishing. We are so thankful for the memories from this weekend and can not wait to visit again!! Thank you, Kelly.

Perfect house for our wedding weekend

We had a wonderful time staying at this lake house with our bridal party during our wedding weekend. Staying here extended our fun and celebration - we used the kayaks, made smores in the fire pit, and played board games at the large table. Kelly was a joy to work with; very responsive and helpful. We also booked the other house on the property for additional friends which worked out great. We ended up only needing to sleep 9 at this house, which was helpful because beds 9 and 10 were futons in the loft - if we had ended up with 5 couples, we may have struggled to find a place for the 5th couple to sleep. The loft would be perfect for a family with children, though. The kitchen was stocked with a coffee maker and toaster, which was great. Waking up to the view of the lake on my wedding day was such a joy! Definitely recommend a trip to this property.
