Crooked Lake cottage

I stayed three nights with my siblings. We were impressed with the cottage itself but particularly enjoyed the view from the deck and sitting around a cozy fire by the beach. The cottage was spotless and the beds were comfortable. We would definitely book here again on future visits to the area.

Beautiful lake vacation!

Although we had some cool, windy, and rainy days we enjoyed the comfort of this well kept cottage. Once we were on the lake, we were in the kayaks several times a day exploring this pretty lake. Love the sandy beach! Kitchen was great with any cooking implements you might need. The communications were excellent! We had a question one day and got a response within minutes! Highly recommend!

Great lakefront cottage

6 men from 47-72 stayed four nights, played golf three times, visited Bell’s brew pub in Kalamazoo , and did a little fishing from the dock! The cottage was very comfortable with ALL the comforts of home! If we come back to this part of Michigan we will certainly try to stay here! Joe and Sarah were great hosts and very easy to contact!

Paradise found

What an amazing week we had at this beautiful cottage. It is exactly as stated and extremely clean. There was plenty of room for our entire family. If you are looking for a place to totally escape and disconnect look no further this is it! We even rented a pontoon for the week and we were able to hook up to their dock. The family enjoyed fishing, tubing and kayaking and the separate area for the bonfire is stunning!! The hosts were so very kind and easy to deal with. Would highly recommend this beautiful piece of paradise!!

Beautiful Lake House

The property was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable with brand new mattresses. The view of the lake was great. We fished off the dock and took a boat out as well. We also floated on rafts and snorkled at the dock. We really enjoyed our stay. The parking was a little tight with a boat trailer and 2 vehicles.

Just amazing

I can't say enough good things about the property. It was exactly as described and a near perfect week. Amazing views of the lake, comfortable inside and out, and checkin/checkout was a breeze. Fishing was excellent, especially in the evenings. We rented a pontoon boat from vacation boat rentals, which drops off at the lake and was a great experience as well. Would not hesitate to book again.
