Well equipped

The property was well equipped with pots, pans, toiletries, etc. The location on the lake is quiet and peaceful. Accessing the canal via the break wall can be difficult, especially for older people. Good place for a quiet getaway for a couple.

Great house, great hosts!

We had a great time staying here. We had one minor hiccup when a storm blew through and we lost power for a few days, but Mark and Carrie did all they could to make the stay nice. The kids were a little disappointed there wasn’t WiFi but they managed. We would definitely stay there again! My husband and I enjoyed taking the pedal boat out in the mornings and evenings to fish. It was a good trip! The extra touches they made prior to arrival were very nice and welcoming!

About the host

Why they chose this property

The setting is spectacular, quiet and serene. And this is a great lake community to be apart of. The quiet dead end street and friendly neighbors are all apart of what makes this place so special. Our remodel gave this cottage a comfortable, homey atmosphere.

What makes this property unique

If you want to be apart of a wonderful lake community, awesome fishing with its all sports fun but yet enjoy a little quiet and relaxation, then our cottage is a great option. We have all the views and enjoyment Crooked Lake has to offer but sitting on the canal, it offers less lake noise and the commotion from lake front homes.
