Family Wedding

This was the perfect location to stay for a beautiful wedding at the Crooked Willow. The host Yvonne was amazing to work with and we hope to come back here again soon! The perfect meeting location for a family get together. Parking directions could be a little clearer in information provided, it was difficult to find in the dark.

Osakis Stay

This property was a wonderful surprise. Plenty of room for 7 adults and our children. Having an extra kitchen space in the basement was amazing. There is a park one block from the house, which was a great walk with small kids, they loved it. We would definitely recommend this stay for a quick getaway from the twin cities.

Great time with family!

We really enjoyed our stay. There were 8 of us and there was plenty of room. It was great to have refrigerators. Our only concern was the lack of washcloths. There were plenty of towels for everyone but no washcloths!

Perfect Getaway!

Rented this property for a cousin weekend away. We have many cousins that live in Osakis area so it was easy to meet with them. The property met all of our needs and we were so impressed we rented same place for next year gathering. Just perfect for us. Everyone had their own bed and plenty room that we did not feel we were sitting on top of each other. Like I said before, just perfect!
