Our family enjoyed this house for the second time. Great view of third basin looking out from large deck. Master bedroom with large closet and bathroom was great, also 4 other bedrooms. The kitchen and dining area was very nice and equipped good. Games, ping pong and large tv was enjoyed by all.
The house was clean and had plenty of room for all of us. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, etc. Beds were very comfortable. One item that needs attention is there were several light bulbs that were burned out. This really should be checked after every booking. The yard by the lake could use a little attention also.
This is the second Time we have stayed at this property and we enjoyed it just as much this time as the first time. The house is perfect for a large family and the lake is beautiful and not too crowded. We will be back!!
A very relaxing vacation on a quiet and beautiful lake. The fishing was amazing, and the house had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this property to others wanting a peaceful vacation with a location directly on the water.
The house was very well supplied. Location is perfect for being on the lake. Absolutely a stunning view. Fishing was great the entire week. Lots of bass bluegill
and walleye. A lot of good food places close by. Would highly recommend and will probably look into coming back.
The house was very appropriate for a group of 13. We held a Young Adults winter retreat at the house. There were plenty of bathrooms and two living areas (main floor and basement) large enough for our entire group to meet together.
Also a great location to go to Pokagon State Park to hike and ride the Toboggan.
Our overall stay was fantastic. Crooked Lake provided a beautiful background for our family adventure. The lake house was plenty large enough for our eight adults and two younger children. The kitchen was beautifully equipped and met the needs of the professional chef in our party. We received permission to host a larger gathering of my siblings and there was plenty of room. There was a lot to do in the area ranging from tobogganing at nearby Pokagon State Park, shopping at Shipshewana and then to see the Auburns, Cords and Deusenbergers at the Museum in Auburn. Really a wonderful place to spend a few days.
The kitchen lacked utensils, pots & pans. Hard to cook for 12, with one small set of cookware. The living room needs blinds. The afternoon Sun is BLINDING. The CARETAKERS live next door and were VERY NOSEY!!Also ONE TV...?We were unable to utilize outdoor space due to a " beach" being put in. We were told they would be done in 2. It took 5 days & we were awoken very early in the am by workmen & equipment. The equipment was left So we could not go down by the water all week. The owner needs to address the issues and the stay would have been much more enjoyable
First - I marked âcommunication with property owner as a â3â not â5â, only because everything at the rental went smooth with the advance instructions provided and we never had another contact because we had no other needs. Our family believes in creating memories and we rented a lot. This experience was great and we never had to initiate any further contact
My wife, and our 3 children, their spouse and our six grandchildren, plus our year old puppy, Mattie, ALL HAD A GREAT 3DAY MLK WINTER WEEKEND VACATION! All 4 families are from the Indianapolis area, about 2-3 hours away.
The house was more like a home than a rental, with all of the details cared for and provided. We enjoyed hours of family fun and laughter playing games, watching movies & some football (it was a playoff weekend). We also, tobogganed at near by Pokagon SP and ice skated at near by Trine College (they have an amazing facility open to the public on Sundays).
Everyone had a great time and we have new memories that will be with us forever! Weâ d absolutely come back to this Home away from home.
Our family came together from 3 states to celebrate our daughter as she graduated with her doctorate from Trine. The house was very spacious. The new deck was spectacular and perfect for the luncheon we had for family. The description said 4 full baths and showed a shower in all 4, but the main floor bathroom was actually only a half bath. Someone painted and left small paint puddles all over the kitchen tile and refrigerator. I scraped them off of the floor with a spatula. Someone sanded in the master bathroom and left the sanding pile in the corner without cleaning up. The kitchen cupboards could use a deep clean, food has been spilled and not wiped off. The bar in the basement was very nice, even better if there was a refrigerator down there. A few family members thought the mattresses were hard, I suppose thatâs a matter of preference. I thought the master bedroom mattress was nice and comfortable. There were lots of great appliances in the kitchen as well as a good variety of pans, dishes, and serving bowls utensils and platters. Anything we needed, they had. We brought 4 gallons of our own water for coffee and drinking as suggested. Water was fine to shower in. We have well water, so we are familiar with that aspect.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay. There was a lot of room to spread out in the house.
This house was perfect for our large family gathering and everything was wonderful. Would definitely consider again; the hosts were responsive and helpful as well as accommodating our needs!
We all know the drill-you look at the photos on VRBO and hope that youâve made the right decision. You have no worries with this home on Crooked Lake! It is just as pictured in the photos. The home definitely has a lived in feel, making us feel right at home with our 8 pound dog accompanying me and my small family on this trip. Plenty of space to spread out, and perfect placement with stairs leading to the lake. Many places to rent boats and kayaks close by, with delivery as an option. Also loved the small downtown of Angola, with specialty shops and even a vegan brunch spot. Donât hesitate to stay here!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. There are PLENTY of bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas for both adults and children to be comfortable. The hosts were very accommodating with some date changes and went above and beyond to help us secure this house. If you're looking for a lake house getaway, look no further!
Everything about our stay was excellent ~ the house, the view and the accommodations!! Furniture could use updating and carpet cleaned otherwise excellent!!
