Welcome to Crooked Creek, a charming and established vacation rental with countless 5-star reviews and repeat guests returning year-round! Nestled on a beautiful half-acre wooded lot with a peaceful creek running along the property—the inspiration behind the Crooked Creek name—this special retreat offers nature, privacy and serenity while remaining just minutes from both Iowa and Illinois and close to shopping, dining, entertainment, sightseeing, sporting events, local festivals and more. The sellers transformed Crooked Creek from the studs up, thoughtfully renovating the home to create the warm and inviting retreat guests have come to love. Extensive improvements include new floor joists and framing, flooring and walls throughout, windows, roof and siding, along with updated plumbing and electrical, a new water heater and water softener, electric heat and A/C. The beautifully remodeled kitchen features birch cabinetry, custom countertops and LG appliances, while the bathroom was completely renovated from top to bottom. Even the laundry area was thoughtfully finished with a custom countertop and new LG washer and dryer. The current owners have created more than just a vacation rental—they've built the Crooked Creek name and a destination guests return to again and again. They are even willing to transfer the Crooked Creek name to the new owner, offering an opportunity to continue its established story and identity. Whether you're looking for an investment property, weekend retreat or your own peaceful escape, Crooked Creek is an incredibly special property with character, charm and a proven history as a successful short-term rental.
