Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay on Crooked Lake! Our place was cute and exactly what we needed. The location on the 1st basin of Crooked Lake was ideal. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and the other flotation items.

Great Family Get Away

The owners thought of everything!!! I can't say enough good things about the property and the owners. We were so cozy and comfy. We rented their pontoon for a day on the lake and at the sandbar and wow, we definitely got the Crooked Lake experience!! We definitely will rent again. Love, love, loved it!!!!

Weekend Family Getaway

Wonderful short family getaway. The cottage was very clean, with many amenities provided. The property manager was responsive and easy to work with. One wish would be for the outdoor space to be a little larger with a better area/ beach for kids to spread out. We were able to pack up and bring kids to a larger beach area for more swimming. Kids had a wonderful time swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Thank you

Trine Homecoming Weekend

Stayed at Lil Nauti with a group of friends for Trine’s Hoco Weekend. Property managers were great at communicating and providing information before/during/after my visit. A beautiful property right on Crooked Lake. Great back porch. Fully stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds and couch. Good connection wifi. Definitely would rebook if I am back in the area again!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I are from Fort Wayne, IN. After falling in love with Crooked Lake we made the leap and moved here fulltime!

Why they chose this property

Crooked Lake has so much to offer! It's an all sports lake with 3 basins over 800 acres of fun.

What makes this property unique

Lil' Nauti is right on the lake...we've had renters say the view makes them feel like they're on a boat!
