Our Second Year for the 4th of July

For the second year in a row, my family had an amazing time! My nephew has a boat and the proximity to Bob's Landing is so convenient. Plenty to do with the smaller children, great fishing for the bigger folks and just a wonderful property for the entire family! We hope to stay for a third year!!!

Great holiday getaway

We spent the Fourth of July weekend at this cute lake home. It was a perfect spot for us to bring our boat and enjoy hanging out with our family and friends. The neighbors were friendly. The grocery store was a 20 minute drive away, not a big deal, just something to be aware of. We would definitely return for another stay.

Charming home! Very clean, well maintained home with a great beach area and nice dock. Very spacious, we had two families that stayed and had plenty of room. We also had guests over for birthday party and Easter dinner. Chris (owner) was great to work with, very responsive ... great communication. Highly recommend this home if your looking for a family, fun filled vacation. We will definitely go back.

Great 4th of July Getaway!

We enjoyed a fun weekend with extended family at Crooked Lake. Perfect for a large family to relax and get away together. The boat ramp is very conveniently located and the lake offers plenty of room for water sports. Lots to explore. The community puts on a fabulous firework display in the center of the lake. Definitely bring your bug spray for evenings!

Memories At the Lake

The house was perfect for family time at the lake. There’s plenty of room to rest and relax. The dock and gazebo is a great place to have a cup of coffee watch the kids play in the water. The boat ramp is next door which makes it easy to bring your boat ashore. There’s plenty of games to play along with a cool ping pong table. Just a wonderful place to stay.

Amazing Lake Home!!

We had the best time celebrating our son’s 16th birthday, even during nasty rainy weather! The home as well equipped with plenty of activities for teenage boys to do inside while it rained. The dock and gazebo set up was perfect, love the size of the backyard, the house was absolutely perfect for our set up. We can’t wait to come back!!

Everyone in our group agreed that this place was a gem! We had everything we needed, plenty of room, very clean, beds were super comfortable, and it just felt like home the minute we walked in. The Owner was extremely responsive and polite. We are definitely planning on coming back! The only problem we had was that the week went by too fast!

My Favorite Hiding Spot

This home has won the title of my new favorite hiding spot. If you want to escape from the crazy constant world we live in, this is the place. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a fire, fished, played corn hole, played pool, and watched movies. We loved the amazing sunrises and watching all the lake come to life with all the creatures who live there. Everything we needed was there though we did venture out to Frostproof for a nice breakfast, and another night to the Frostbite. We also enjoyed the Crooked Bass' seafood..top notch. This is the true definition of a lake house, and my only complaint was that the time went way too fast, and I wish you were closer to us in PA. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise.

Family friendly

This place was amazing and comfortable for our family of eight, all the way down to the baby. The small beach was awesome for the kids and the water is not very deep until beyond the dock, which was super nice for the littles. They enjoyed kayaking and fishing off the dock, playing in the sand, and the variety of games to play inside as well. Ping pong was a huge hit. Very comfortable beds as well! We absolutely loved our stay and will be looking to come back again!

Peaceful

Home was a perfect place to spend Thanksgiving with family. Dining room table seats 10. Plenty of room too spread out. House has a great area for ping pong and TV along with a perfect puzzle table. Lots of bedrooms with very comfortable beds. One bike out of 3 worked so we went for walks instead. Great view out the back windows from any room. We spent our mornings on the back porch viewing the lake, drinking coffee doing our devotions. Didn't have any luck fishing but enjoyed trying. The dock was in great condition. The kitchen could use a curtain for privacy along with a fly swatter. We had a very relaxing time.
