Waterfront Living:
The star of the show is your private sandy beach. Whether you’re building sandcastles with the kids, launching a kayak, or soaking up the sun, the clear waters of Crooked Lake are just steps from your back door.

Spacious Multi-Level Layout:
With sleeping space across two levels, there is plenty of room for everyone to find their own corner of paradise.

Main Level: Features a private Master Suite and a convenient half-bath.

A fun "Bonus Room" perfect for kids, featuring two twin beds with trundles.

A shared Master Suite with a full bath.

A second living area with two sleeper sofas—ideal for movie nights or extra guests.

Four Seasons of Adventure:
No matter the time of year, Crooked Lake delivers. Enjoy peak summer vibes on the water, breathtaking fall colors, or use the cottage as your winter basecamp for nearby snowmobiling and skiing at Caberfae Peaks. Just a short drive into Lake City puts you in the heart of local dining, shopping, and the famous Tasty Treat!

It wasn’t clear to us that the two queen beds were pull out beds to us. Having two adult’s staying on the twin day beds. Also the beach was presented to us as advertised to us that it was a private Sandy beach. But it wasn’t a beach that was well maintained. But it was a nice dock. Also it was not advertised that we needed to bring our own wood for the for fire pit. It would have been nice to have known we needed our own wood. Also the hand rail going down stairs outside rotted out and not attached. My son almost fell down the stairs because of this. There were some minor fixtures in the bathrooms. Our overall experience was good. Also it was a bit over priced for all the problems we had. Plus our kids were bummed about the beach. The paddle boat did not steer properly.
