Loved my cabin. Susan met me and my stay was wonderful. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful Minnesota lake. Loons, geese and deer were perfect. I was able to invite friends for afternoon and supper of pizza and beer. Perfect, I would do this again. I should also say, I’m an 80 widow with my lab dog, our accomodations

About the host

Hosted by Susan Williams

Host profile image
I am from Carrington, ND but have lived in MN, MS, CA and now reside in CO most of the year. I spend my summers at the resort in MN. I enjoy meeting new people and learning more about the families. I am happy to provide a fun place for the entire family to vacation.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been coming from North Dakota to the Park Rapids area for their family vacations for decades and we came to love the trees, lakes and wildlife. In 1979, my parents decided to purchase Timberlost and to make Minnesota their permanent home. Several of their nine children, including myself, Susan, were involved over the years in helping them operate the resort. We love this area in the MN north country.

What makes this property unique

West Crooked Lake Resort was originally known as Timberlost Resort and Campground. The resort and campground was owned by my parents, Jerrold and Doris Skadberg family for over 30 years. In 2003, I purchased a portion of Timberlost Resort and established West Crooked Lake Resort and constructed a new cabin and remodeled existing cabins with a northern decor to welcome all. I became familiar with the resort business through the years of helping my family with Timberlost Resort and decided to continue the resort tradition that my parents had started. Prior to purchasing the resort, I was an owner of a software development company.
