Lake house
Stayed with four adult friends for a softball tournament in the area. The house itself was nicer than the pictures. Was an excellent stay all the way around. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Place!
Gorgeous property on Crooked Lake. The listing is very accurate. It snowed on us all three days and I couldn’t imagine a better scenery to take it in. Will book again if ever in the area.
