This was the perfect, quiet, private place for our family over our son’s wedding weekend. Lots of bathrooms and sleeping spots, and all the best things to unwind lakeside when the wedding was over.

This place was pretty perfect. They had everything we needed on-site, and the various floors and decks allowed for privacy whenever needed. Even caught a few largemouth off the dock!Only item of note, was that quite a few primary entrance/exits were not able to be locked, due to the older hardware. Easily fixable. We are looking forward to coming back again!

Upon first arrival it was obvious that the lodge was impeccably clean and beautifully equipped from cooks tools to a pack and play. We were able to relax, cook great meals without worry. The layout provided space for our multigenerational group and we liked it so much we booked a stay for next year while we were still there. Thank you!

We had an amazing time. The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of kitchen space. The patio was nice to hang out at, and the kids especially liked the volleyball court. Great place. The only thing that would make it a little nicer is if we had a little more cabinet space to put our groceries. But that was a minor thing

Great family weekend.

Great space for a large group. Plenty of kitchen supplies. There were a lot of toys and games at the house. Outdoor area is great. We didn’t get to spend as much time as we would have liked outside due to rain, but there is plenty of outdoor seating, horse shoe pit, corn hole, water activities, and fire pit. Don’t hesitate to rent this place. It’s great!!

A Perfect Family Place

We rented the house on Big Crooked Lake for an extended family weekend and everything about it was wonderful. The house is well equipped - from the kitchen to the indoor and outdoor equipment and games. The family spent a couple of days on the lake in the pontoon boat and even ate dinner and watched a sunset from the boat one evening. We also enjoyed campfires on several evenings by the lake. I would recommend this place without hesitation and am considering coming back again next year.

Overall, it is a nice property. Main issues where that the doors do not lock downstairs, had multiple breakers trip throughout the house, propane grill has a leak when attached to a full tank, & the indoor fireplace wouldn’t light. Still enjoyed our stay.

Great place

We were only here 3 nights, but we thoroughly enjoyed it! Our only regret was that we were not able to take advantage of the watercraft due to the time of year. Should be we find ourselves down this way again, we will look this place up first. One important thing I want to highlight - I have had a terrible back basically since I was 12 years old. The bed upstairs was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, other than my own!
