Crooked Lake Waterfront Retreat - Dock, Fire Pit, Sleeps 12
Welcome to your Crooked Lake getaway — a true waterfront retreat where families and friends come together to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories.
If you’re looking for the perfect place to spend a lake weekend, you’ve found it. This beautiful 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home sits on a quiet channel on the second basin of Crooked Lake in Angola, Indiana, offering the ideal mix of peace, privacy, and easy access to the water. With a private pier, flat lakefront lawn, waterfront fire pit, and space for up to 12 guests, this home is built for unforgettable group getaways.
Start your mornings with coffee on the deck as the lake comes to life. Spend the afternoon boating, swimming, lounging on the lawn, or heading out to the sandbar and county park beach just a short boat ride away. In the evening, gather around the fire pit, watch the sunset over the water, and enjoy the kind of lake life people dream about all year.
Inside, the home is bright, spacious, and designed for easy entertaining. The main living area is located on the second floor, allowing for beautiful lake views and a more private setting. The great room and primary suite both open to the deck, giving you the perfect place to enjoy the view. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for everything from casual breakfasts to big family dinners, and the separate dining area makes it easy for everyone to gather together.
The home comfortably sleeps 12 and includes:
- 4 bedrooms
- 3.5 bathrooms
- Private pier / dock
- Flat waterfront lawn
- Fire pit by the lake
- Paddleboat use
- Garage parking
- High-speed WiFi
- Smart TV
- Washer and dryer
- Air conditioning
The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat of its own, with a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and direct deck access. For guests who need assistance with stairs, a chair lift is available to help access the main living level. Please note that the entire living space is on the second floor, which is important to keep in mind when booking with small children or guests with mobility concerns.
Whether you’re planning a Memorial Day weekend, summer vacation, family reunion, or peaceful escape on the water, this home gives you the space, comfort, and setting to truly enjoy your time away. With a private waterfront location, thoughtful amenities, and room for everyone, this is the kind of lake house guests return to year after year.

Everything was amazing! The kitchen was stocked with the little things like condiments and spices. The beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of towels. Our friends loved the house.. we never left during our stay!! We did rent a pontoon from 101 Lakes pontoon which was the icing on the cake for morning and evening cruises and time on the sandbar! Great experience!
