Anyone ever heard of Crooked lake in Polk county

We just got home from Gray's Cottages on Crooked lake in Babson Park between Frostproof and Lake Wales. Was going to stay a week but ended up staying 2 weeks. These are Cottages with kitchen dining room, living room and two bedrooms with cable tv in every room. Has a brand new Hugh dock and private boat ramp. Plus swimming area. Convenient store, Dollar General and Crooked lake fish house restaurant within walking distance
Not a Marriott but for 500.00 tax included for 7 days great place, that'sabout 71.00 a day for water front lodging and clean and well kept and great owners. I absolutely love Crooked lake and would sell my home in a heart beat and move there. Love the Frostbite and Johnny's Egg House in Frostproof. Man the food at these small places are awesome. Love Johnny's Egg House the most.
Fishing is awesome but had to be careful because I was not suppose to bend over alot, nor pick up anything heavy for 30 days
there is Hugh catfish specks and bass in the lake. Water is extremely clear and clean.
The area reminds me of small town old Florida and people are friendly as can be. Where as Hillsborough County is turning south Hillsborough County into another Brandon type BS area by over building without the infrastructure to handle all the building taking place. I've lived and worked in Ruskin for 25 years and have seen it's small town atmosphere just destroyed.
Plus traffic is becoming horrible and as always the more people the more crime. These developers built these Hugh subdivisions and owners/speculators just section eighted them out.. I'll stop on that subject but you can figure it out. Thanks Tampa for trying to move the projects to south county so you can knock down and build high dollars condos
Kinda like Plant City was screwed up by all the building of massive subdivisions. that's why we moved from Plant City to Ruskin and now Ruskin is being F'd up. Fortunately the point does not suffer from these criminals badly. Neighbors watch out for each other here and it being a dead-end road. That said I've installed home security system and ring cams that cover every part of my property. Plus I've got attack cats and raccoons 
Just got home and already miss the lake
But Frostproof is like old Plant City. I can see this even better now
