Great location on West Crooked. Spacious house with plenty of room for our group. We enjoyed the lake and fire pit. Easy communication with owner and we would definitely stay here again.
This home is even better than the pictures make it look! It is so spacious and plenty of space to hang out inside and out! Really neat to have the lake and kayaks. Was a lot of fun will stay again:)
The lake house was big and roomy for my whole family to stay and enjoy time together. The sandy beach area was great for swimming and a nice dock for fishing.
This place was even better than we'd anticipated, lots of space, plenty of linens and towels, very clean.It was a perfect location for everything we wanted to do and we are definitely planning to stay here again.
The house is wonderful. It’s very large and very comfortable. The location is great. We had a great time and would love to stay here when the weather is warmer.
Besides the great weather for snowboarding, the home and space were immaculate. There was ample space for the 7 of us and the views of the lake were quite a highlight when waking up!! Will definitely be looking to stay here again when back in the area.
Wow! This was so nice on the lake! Very large 2 story home we had everything we needed! The neighborhood was so nice and beds were good bathrooms were large an dining room table was great for games!
Been staying at this house for the last few years and have always had a great experience. Shane our host is always very accommodating. Would highly recommend this staying at this beautiful house.
We have made this our yearly family trip. It is a great spot for BBQs and get togethers. Kids love the beach area and fishing off the dock. We will definitely be back!
Very fun and relaxing weekend with college roommates at the beautiful lake. Beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious, kitchen had everything needed. And we got to watch WMU win National Championship! Go Broncos! Thank you for everything!
