Summary: Enjoyed our stay and the owners were communicative and helpful. One small issue arose due to a cleaning person (not caused by home or owners) error and they were willing to make it right immediately. The dock and paddle board/boat were fun. I would say it felt like staying in a friend’s house but the friend wasn’t there. It was pretty clean and I would stay again even though the couch covers and comforters hadn’t been washed in a while and a few pieces of furniture/dishes/lake gear could use an update. It is a beautiful home, not a five star hotel. Plenty of dishes for cooking and full kitchen. Washer and dryer work but dryer had a trick to using it, didn’t need to use it anyway. Bathrooms, kitchen and floors were very clean and the owners provided an amazing water filtration system for drinking as the house is on well and septic. Great for families and the big living space is beautifully updated. Kids loved the video games. Hosts even provided extra air conditioners in case the house wasn’t staying cool in high heat - super considerate. Crookneck lake is smaller but cute and not overly busy, plenty of other lake access points close by. Hosts provided restaurant and service options close by and the house is about 30 minutes from a very big town with everything you need; groceries and restaurants are very close by and reachable in 5 minutes. Would recommend and come back if it served our needs again. The owners seem very nice and are solid VRBO hosts.
