Third Year in a Row!

We have always liked this little cabin. The lake is great and the fishing is good. Julian is quick to respond and always does what he can to ensure his guests enjoy themselves. The cabin is located within walking distance to most things in town and also the beautiful Wobogon trail. It’s nice there is watercraft available to rent nearby. Coin laundry in town open 24/7; pack your own towels!

Cute Fishing Cabin

Having no towels was inconvenient, the grass was knee high and the poison ivy was a concern. Outside of that, cute place and perfect location for a family wedding at Crocked Willow.

Long weekend at the Lake

Cabin was RIGHT near the water as advertised. Quiet neighborhood with a quaint little public beach a short walk down the road. Loved the fire pit as the weather was a little chillier than we anticipated for mid July (highs in the upper 60s). Thanks for a great stay 🙂

Fantastic Time!

We had an amazing time! Great cabin. The kitchen was more than well stocked, the beds and pillows were cozy, and the AC was crisp and cool the whole time. One thing—make sure to bring your own towels as they are not provided.

We had no problems with anything. The whole experience was easy and uneventful. The property owners were great to work with. We had everything we needed and when you get to enjoy someone else's home, they want you to feel at home. Sure, they made not have what you have at home, but you CAN improvise and sometimes thats even more fun. The view, the amenities, close to downtown, rentals - we want to come back! Thank you!

Great Fishing Cabin

We loved our stay at this cabin! It’s right on the water and has a nice open space right outside the door. Our daughter loved sleeping on the new bunk beds and waking up to the lake view! Julian was very accommodating and easy to work with.
