Our mother/daughter getaway
The property was clean and very close to the water. We had fabulous weather and spent most of our daytime in the gazebo enjoying the wildlife, boats etc. We enjoyed that very much. Beds were comfortable. I would like to make some suggestions to the manager/owner of the property. We have spent several weekends at VRBO spots for our weekends/ getaways so we have a little experience to fall back on. We would encourage a more informative set of instructions/information for future visitors. The initial information said to leave the cottage as we found it which led us to wonder if that meant all linens had to be clean and the cottage spotless. My daughter found it necessary to communicate with the manager to determine what was expected in terms of laundry and general cleaning (we did clean the cottage) There was no soap for the dishwasher or the clothes washer so we had to go to the store for that. Generally we have found a notebook with information regarding the way to connect to the internet, a listing of TV channels available, instructions regarding what is expected at checkout time, nearby stores, restaurants, etc. Generally speaking, pertinent information in one place and available would be very helpful to future guests. My husband was dealing with health issues and was allowed to join us by the management which we greatly appreciated. We hope the wedding they were experiencing that weekend was lovely and a happy occasion.

Crooked Lake Vacay
The only snag (a small one) we had during the week was a leaky gas hose on the grill. Not a big deal since we had brought a Blackstone with us and used that instead. Randy and Amber were very easy to work with and we enjoyed our vacation very much.

very clean
This property is very clean and well kept. Lots of room to spread out. Excellent fishing lake. During the week it was like our own private lake. There were very few others using the water.

Nice relaxing vacation
The house and the lake was everything described. The location is about an hour driving to a lot of great cities so we also explored a lot of places. We enjoyed our vacation.

A complete escape
There aren’t enough words to express how much we enjoyed our stay. We needed a peaceful quiet place and this was it!! I almost wish I didn’t need to relax, because I also know that there’s tons of fun things to do there! I feel like this is one of the places that no matter what you’re looking for it has it!
