Wonderful Weekend Stay

We are absolutely thrilled with our choice of this home for Trine graduation weekend. Connie and Bill were over the top accommodating. Their beautiful home on the water allowed us to have an amazing celebration with a few friends and family. It was relaxing, amazing setting where we all enjoyed our time. Their home is immaculate and everything you need they have in property. The are very responsive to anything you may need or want. I would definitely return and have already recommended to other Trine families this beautiful home on Crooked lake. Thank you Connie and Bill you have truly contributed to our wonderful memories of our spent in Angola. Thank You!

Relaxing home with tons of space

Really loved this place. Great collection of toys for kids both in the house and at the water. We loved having 2 living spaces one on the ground floor near the kitchen and one in the basement for the kids with games toys and a tv. The older people with us had trouble with the hill from the boat dock to the house, the incline followed by the stairs was a bit much for them. We rented a boat for the week, it was a large pontoon and it did fit on the dock. Would absolutely return and recommend.

Wonderful Memories

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lake house property where there was plenty of room and so many things to do for both adults and children inside and out. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. Everything was very clean. Bill and Connie were quick to respond to any inquiries we may have had. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful and cozy place for us to continue to make memories.

Family Summer Fun

We have rented a number of properties through VRBO and this was indeed one of the best. Great place for family, with children. The communication from Bill and Connie was excellent. The description of the property and all the "extras" was excellent. The access to the shed by the lake was a huge plus as was the amaziing play room for the kids. The only concern was the deck with the metal wires made us a little nervous with the younger grandkids. Like I mentioned before the place was excellent. One other side note; the neighbors were very friendly and made the stay even more enjoyable. I would recommend this to any group. Thanks again to Bill and Connie.

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Connie

We met on the waterfront as teenagers and after 39 years of marriage, 3 children and 5 grandchildren and lots of "water" vacations, we decided that Crooked Lake provided all of the things we love to do as a family!

Why they chose this property

Our family has vacationed many years on this lake and we love it! We love time on the water, skiing ,wake boarding and tubing and this lake is perfect for it! This home provides plenty of space for all the generations to gather together for a great vacation! It also provides enough room, privacy and comfort to wind down from a great day on the water!
