About this house rental
Family Memories. Guys trips. Girls weekends. They are all right here with 100 feet! of beautiful MN lakeshore on Crookneck Lake in Motley, MN.
The Lincoln Lakes area is known for it's fishing, in both the summer and winter, along with boating and water activities. This lake is plentiful with bass fishing, and plenty of crappie during ice fishing season. There is a groomed path on the ice to the honey hole during the winter.
The home is a cute, updated 2 bed, 2 bath home, that sleeps up to 6 guests - located on a double lot. Outdoor space includes a deck, paver patio with fire pit, large entertaining 25 foot table spanning 2 oak trunks, a swing set, a boat dock, detached garage, and parking pad big enough to fit an RV/Trailer/Camper, and a large yard for yard games.
Charcoal grill on property available to be used during your stay.
Helpful information:
- Both TVs are set up with all streaming services.
- There are floaties, fishing poles/gear and a paddle board in the garage for your use.
- Free firewood available to make a bonfire.
- Home is well and septic. Only flush toilet paper.
- Public launch is only 4 houses away, if you launch your own boat and keep it at the dock.
- Mutiple bars and restaurants within walking/driving distance.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Enjoyed our stay and the owners were communicative and helpful. One small issue arose due to a cleaning person (not caused by home or owners) error and they were willing to make it right immediately. The dock and paddle board/boat were fun. I would say it felt like staying in a friend’s house but the friend wasn’t there. It was pretty clean and I would stay again even though the couch covers and comforters hadn’t been washed in a while and a few pieces of furniture/dishes/lake gear could use an update. It is a beautiful home, not a five star hotel. Plenty of dishes for cooking and full kitchen. Washer and dryer work but dryer had a trick to using it, didn’t need to use it anyway. Bathrooms, kitchen and floors were very clean and the owners provided an amazing water filtration system for drinking as the house is on well and septic. Great for families and the big living space is beautifully updated. Kids loved the video games. Hosts even provided extra air conditioners in case the house wasn’t staying cool in high heat - super considerate. Crookneck lake is smaller but cute and not overly busy, plenty of other lake access points close by. Hosts provided restaurant and service options close by and the house is about 30 minutes from a very big town with everything you need; groceries and restaurants are very close by and reachable in 5 minutes. Would recommend and come back if it served our needs again. The owners seem very nice and are solid VRBO hosts.

We had a great time at the 'Crew Haus'! Nicely decorated (loved the rugs) and had a good access for us to kayak the lake with. The cleanliness of the grills was disappointing but it did not stop us from enjoying the place. Thanks for sharing your Haus w/us!
