Wonderful place to spend a week with family on the lake. Responsive hosts who care about their guests having a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommend!
This cottage was the perfect location for extended family who came to attend a wedding held lake side just across the lake. Crooked Lake is a beautiful setting and this house is a gem!
Very nice ,the new deck was a great place for lunch and dinner gatherings.
The southern view from the cottage over the lake was great. Nice breeze during day and night.Trees shaded the home during day this made it nice and cool.Shopping close by for groceries. Water in front of cottage nice and pier great for boat.Sand bar straight out from cottage to also go and swim at.
Public beach across from cottage very nice for day picnic and kids to swim at.Donuts only mile and 1/2 awayâș.
Over all great week at the lake.
Small lakeside cottage with outstanding outdoor space
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Lakefront setting is quiet and beautiful. Decks and dock are fantastic! We ate all our meals outside on the top deck. Boat rental was a short walk down the street, plus there were lots of other outdoor activities in the area. Inside there is not much storage for food, clothing, etc, and bathrooms are tiny with only one shower. However, we werenât inside much because the location was ideal! Kids enjoyed the newer, comfy family room furniture and smart tv when we werenât outside. Owners were easy to contact and helpful. Overall a great vacation!
Quaint and well maintained lake house with vintage vibes
Comfortable house with all the amenities you could want for a relaxing getaway! Five minute drive to Caruso's Italian for dinner out and The Social for ice cream. Plenty of room indoors and outside for our 3 cars, 5 adults and a 3 year old. It would easily sleep 8 in the comfortable beds. The porch off the downstairs bedroom is a perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon naps and evening nightcaps. The firepit was ideal for making smores. The lake was beautiful, quiet and shallow enough at the dock for little ones and grown ups to wade in. Note that there are a lot of inside and outside stairs, so I wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility issues. All in all, its a perfect place to enjoy a quiet lake getaway!
This house has old world charm and the amenities to make for a comfortable get a way. It is exactly as advertised. Plenty of amazing lake views. Central air keeps the house cool on the warmer days. The deck is wonderful for gatherings.
There is a perfect view of the sandbar to watch the boaters gather and people watch.
Several restaurants, bars, markets, etc. within a convenient 10 minute drive.
The host is very prompt with responses.
You can't go wrong with this place!
This property absolutely took me back to the lake cottages of my youth. Quaint, but with just the right amount of modern convenience and peaceful treehouse views. Our hosts were easy to contact and quick to reply. Mattresses were high quality and the furniture was comfy. We enjoyed all the great spaces to drink coffee and serve meals outside. It was our ideal summer vacation. We canât wait to come back.
It's my fault for not asking more questions. Very nice place but not kid friendly at all.
Only one shower for eight people was not good. The winding staircase was very difficult to navigate. Small refrigerator so we had to pack it and then our food froze. It was also hard to sit around the firepit as it was on an incline.
As I said...my fault for not doing more research on this property.
Our family got together at this beautiful cottage for the week. Beautiful view of Crooked Lake.
They had very nice amenities within the cottage.
Pier was available for our boat and nice little swim area. We would definitely stay here again!
This is my second time staying at this beautiful historic cottage on Crooked lake. I absolutely love the ambience, location and view of this place! The porch, fire pit, sandy beach, pier and large deck is all perfect!!! Thanks for sharing!
When I was a child my family visited Crooked lake often. We stayed in a cottage. As soon as I walked through the door of RRC I was immediately reminded of my childhood. This place is amazing it has the updates for a family living in 2020, but still maintains a true cottage feeling. We can not wait to go back. Beach is shallow, and good for swimming. Parents may want to get little ones swim shoes because it is a little rocky.
Had a great time! Cottage was super clean, beds were comfy! Awesome swimming spot and great decks for grilling and watching all the lake activity. Communication with owners is super, they are easily accessible and fast to respond.
We really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend River Rock Cottage!
This was an overall great stay! The host was very responsive and the location was perfect. Would highly recommend for any others who are looking to rent this property.
My family totally enjoyed the experience of this rental. It is a beautiful, noticeable structure. I have been familiar with Crooked Lake for 25 years. This home is one that always grabbed my attention when driving by. Inside was nice and worked out well for my wife, son, son's girlfriend, and my parents. Plus, the pier worked out well for our speed boat.
Great location, as well. We could easily kayak to the "Sand Bar" and join this popular party spot.
What a charming home! Quiet neighborhood Exceptionally clean and well appointed cottage . The water was refreshing and the lake front perfect for our grandkids to swim. We rented a pontoon boat at the local marina and made good use of the dock. Dinners on the deck and quality family time. No mention of pandemics and no masks in sight. This was a wonderful opportunity to relax & reset .. we came away with happy memories. Thanks!
The property was spotless. The access to the lake, outside patio, dock and fire pit area are ideal for a family visit. Beautiful view in the front room.
I grew up in Angola and still have family there. My son and family from Virginia stayed at the lake with us this week and we had more family members staying elsewhere in the area. We really enjoyed this home - it was clean and nice. Lake has really nice swimming area for the kids - big area of shallow water for younger children. We brought a boat and used the dock for that too. It was a nice place for our family.
Charlie and I live in Fort Wayne, where I am a full-time realtor and he is retired. Together we love to cook, practice crafty cocktails and travel, frequently in VRBOs.
As long time lovers of the Crooked Lake community and owner of another property, this was the "if it ever goes on the market, we'll just go look" house! And it was just too special to pass up! As only the third owner since being built in 1913, we feel very fortunate to be able to not only enjoy it ourselves, but share this beautiful piece of history with others.
