Crooked Lake cabin

Nice lakefront location. House was average but comfortable. Boats and boating equipment didn’t seem to be well taken care of. Host was not quick to respond to inquiries/questions. Wifi was sufficient.

Needs work

We had great weather. Lots of trails to ride in the area. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the cabin. There were ants in kitchen, owner did provide ant traps, but didn’t work the greatest. The property needs some TLC, The brick walkway down to the dock needs to be updated, bricks are loose. The dock needs to be fixed, it is not level, boards should be replaced. The boat provided had a leak, and didn’t have any MC or updated sticker, not legal to use on the water, life jackets offered were old and we were not comfortable using. Cabin only had 1 bath and 1 hand towel for the bathroom , called for more and owner brought some over. The deck constantly had pine needles dropping due to all the trees, broom for the deck was also half gone and didn’t work well, should be replaced. Do not recommend

Beautiful view for a peaceful getaway!

The view of water is amazing. Being able to sit outside on the beautiful Trex deck (no splinters) to eat and relax is priceless. The cabin is cute and clean. Anything you could need during your stay is already there.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed eating on the deck overlooking the water and having a fire down by the lake in the evening. Marc is a very friendly and accommodating host.

Crooked Lake Getaway

Baby Bear was a wonderful getaway for us. We especially enjoyed meals on the deck, lounging by the fire and cruising around the lake on the boat. Marc was friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. Although we did some exploring, we were happy to just hang out at the cabin and relax.
