We enjoyed a laid back girls weekend. We loved that the house was within walking distance from eatery’s and shopping. The house was wonderful and perfect for our group of 5. Thank you!
We stayed in September after the summer months. The lake was quiet & beautiful, we were able to walk to town for the Farmer's Market, dinner at night, and to grab a coffee. We spent 3 days biking & were able to come home and relax comfortably spreading out with lots of room.
Our group of 5 adults and 4 children (ages 2 to 9 years) had a wonderful long biking weekend with this home as our main base. The house had everything we needed for our stay, was very conveniently located and the owners were fast to respond to any questions. Would definitely stay again!
Our family had a wonderful vacation!
The cabin was just perfect for our growing family!
We enjoyed Serpent Lake! (We brought a boat and jet skis!) The boat launch is real close by!
We biked, played at the park, and enjoyed going to town for ice cream! We also tried a few restaurants and had amazing food!
Our family loves everything about staying at the Cozy Lake Home. Spending time in and on the lake, going for walks into town, bike riding, and just enjoying the beautiful home. We had 6 adults, and six kids, and it worked perfect.
We definitely made lasting memories with our kids and grandkids!
This was our third summer staying at the lake home on Serpent in Crosby. We love what the cabin and the property offer; great yard, water, fishing, boating, walking distance to town and biking distance to bike trails (paved and dirt). This will always be our favorite place, so many memories created over the years! Thank you for sharing your home T & M!
We recently spent a week at this lovely property with our 3 adult children and 2 young grandchildren. The house and property served our needs perfectly, with plenty of room for cooking, eating, sleeping and enjoying the outdoors. Was very pleasantly surprised to discover an over abundance of towels, which was so appreciated. Within walking distance of the town of Crosby and the city park, and a short bike ride to get on a bike trail. We hope to make this a bi-annual event. Only one suggestion is a clothes line strung between a couple of trees would have been nice for drying towels and so forth. Thanks again for the wonderful accommodations and outstanding communication.

My 5 yr. Old grand daughter was excited to fish for the first time and caught many sunnies and bass right of the dock!
Serpent park- a 2 min. Drive is the best little treasure! The kids love the unique playground!
Main street is a short walk away! Victuals IS A MUST !!! with the finest cheeses and the best homemade ice-cream!!!
We look foward to a return vacation!
