Sarah B. Dec 1, 2024 08:13:55 AM
Summary: The cabin was cozy, a nice setting area, tv in separate sitting area. Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils. All you need is to stock your own food. Plenty of extra bedding, towels and host is local, to help out when needed. Host was absolutely amazing and responded promptly with every message. Very pleased with our stay!

Marie H. Jun 9, 2024 11:07:50 PM
Summary: We had an amazing week! We have stayed at many VRBOs and this is by far the cleanest house with some small additional items that really make it homey! We had a small issue and Christy was very responsive and immediately helpful to resolve which was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!
Katie T. May 30, 2024 07:54:29 AM
Summary: The owner was amazing at booking and communicating and this was absolutely the cleanest place we have ever rented! It was well stocked and my kids loved the snacks. It was wonderful to have the coffee selection. We also lit a new candle each night! It truly felt like home for us and we’ve never had quite that experience with any vacation rental. We LOVED the paddle boat and getting to take it out to the sandbar. We will absolutely be back to stay!
Scott P. Feb 27, 2024 12:16:55 AM

Chiara H. Jan 8, 2024 11:12:36 AM
Summary: This is our second stay in this lovely, cheerful little lakeside cottage. It is cozy, clean, and has so many amenities and special extra touches like extra toiletries, snacks, and drinks. We appreciated the winter/holiday decor for our winter vacation and loved the games and puzzles that were available for our use. The internet was fast and reliable. We would stay again and highly recommend!
Margaret B. Oct 17, 2023 09:12:35 PM
Summary: This was a lovely property. Right on Crooked Lake. It is on a busy highway St Rt 31 but the noise is minimal sitting in the back. Great Location to many places. Good restaurant accross the street. The fall folliage was beatiful and will probably be at peak the last two weeks of October. Definately a place we will go back.
Kim R. Jul 31, 2023 12:55:03 PM
Summary: We often stay at VRBOs, and this one was one of our favorites. The place was impeccable and the owners were beyond kind and accommodating. We will definitely be back.
Donna H. Jul 26, 2023 02:02:44 AM
Summary: Beautiful! Could not have asked for a better location, perfect view of the lake, ducklings(:, Swans, flowers, trees, just so tranquil. Christy and A.J. out did themselves by stocking everything you can imagine. First place that literally means just bring yourself! We had such a good time visiting family and just generally relaxing after a hard year for both of us. We hope to be back!
