Our family of five absolutely loves this place! With three boys, finding a spot that keeps everyone entertained and happy isn't easy, but this has officially become our go-to. We just finished our second year in a row here, and it won't be our last. Another plus, the neighbors surrounding the property are so friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

Communication was almost immediate, and when needed, hosts were located just minutes away to help. We were worried about the swimming area for our kids because lakes in this area are often shallow and weedy. The swimming area was great, and they had a floating island in the deeper water for us to swim to and jump off. Will definitely try to reserve this property for our trip to Michigan again next summer!

Perfect lake house for a family vacation! Every detail was well thought out. The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with all the necessities. Kayaks, life jackets, rafts, corn boards, pool noodles, a canoe, and so much more. We enjoyed fishing, morning coffee on the deck, swimming in the lake and sitting on the beach! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We had such a great long weekend in this lovely house! It was cozy for a winter stay, and only 10 minutes from skiing and tubing at Cannonsburg. Having the full kitchen helped offset some of our meals out, and the lake was full frozen so my kids enjoyed some boot-skating. Rockford is an adorable town in winter or summer!

Great spot for a family getaway/staycation! The beach and water were very clean and we had a great time swimming and fishing off the dock. The house was clean and just enough room for a couple of small families to get away together. Would book again!

Great location and a really beautiful, well-kept home. We stayed here with a group of five adults and a newborn, and it worked out perfectly for us. The layout of the home made it easy for everyone to have their own space while still being able to hang out comfortably together. Everything felt clean, organized, and thoughtfully set up.The amenities really made a difference—there was plenty of seating, a well-equipped kitchen for cooking meals, and enough room for us to move around without feeling crowded. It also felt very family-friendly, which was a huge plus with a newborn. We appreciated how comfortable and inviting the space was, whether we were relaxing or getting ready for the day.Overall, it exceeded our expectations and made our stay easy and enjoyable. We would definitely come back and reserve this home again in the future.

We had a wonderful five-day stay at this lake house with our family. The home was spacious and perfect for our needs. We also appreciated how quickly the owners responded when our coffee maker stopped working—they replaced it with a brand-new one that same evening.The only downside was the lack of privacy. The listing included access to a private beach, but the owners unexpectedly walked through the yard twice to access their pontoon boat at the dock. While we understand they may need to use their boat, we were never informed they would be entering the property during our stay (hence 1 star communication).Their unannounced visits made us feel like we couldn’t fully enjoy the beach and yard. Feeling as though we were invading their space rather than enjoying the property we had rented.The home itself was lovely, but privacy is important to us. Had we known the owners would be accessing the property during our stay, we would have chosen a different rental. For that reason, we would not stay here again.

Great place for our family to have a little getaway for 4 nights. House is updated and the lakeside beach area was a highlight for our kids. Caught and released over a handful of bass off the dock and shore too. Bed was comfortable. We had great communication with the hosts and would book here again.

We booked this home for our 11th Annual girls trip and it did not disappoint! Such a beautiful and clean home. Not to mention the lakeview, deck, beach area and firepit with an ample amount of firewood! The hosts were extremely kind and responsive if we had any questions. We had THE BEST time and would highly recommend booking for your next vacation.

Wonderful Family Getaway

We had an outstanding Fourth of July weekend at this lakefront home in Rockford. The house was clean and nicely furnished with modern finishes. The yard was spacious and the owners supplied all kinds of activities to use. The sand beach was great for relaxing and for the kids to play in. Big Crooked Lake was terrific for boating and swimming, the dock provided was very convenient. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming. We have nothing but nice things to say about this property and are grateful for the opportunity to stay here! We’d come back for sure.

Wonderful Lake Getaway

Had a wonderful few days here with my 15-year-old son. Loved the location and the lake. The house has been very nicely updated - the owners clearly take great care to ensure a pleasant stay. A highlight for us was the two kayaks - we really enjoyed exploring the lake.Amber is a wonderful host. She stopped by one evening to let us know that she needed to check on the air conditioner. We’d not even noticed a problem. She was on it, had a repair man out the next day and kept us up to date on everything. I really appreciated that she took care of it before it even became a problem. (I only mention it here as an example of her responsiveness.)The house had everything we needed. And really appreciated the extra touches to make it that much more comfortable. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful home and property, just as advertised. Peaceful lake setting, with beach, kayaks, fire pit. Home is very comfortable, and decorated beautifully. We were in town, with our adult children, for a wedding at Quail Ridge which was under a 25 minute drive. Plenty of space. (I included a pic of an eagle who was perched in a tree on the property every morning)
