Family Vacation

We have stayed at this property a few times over the past 10 years or so. Always have a great time, the property has many amenities that other rentals in the area don't offer. Location is close to dining, shopping and gas.

Our stay on Crane Lake

First of all, the view from the deck of the cabin was great. Enjoyed our coffee and some wine at night out there. We docked our boat at the dock we were instructed to. The cart was there to use for us to put our stuff into. But, we had no idea prior to coming that the incline to get to our cabin was so steep. It took several trips with the help of our grandson to get all of our stuff to the cabin. My husband and I have no physical limitations, but it was still challenging plus annoying every time we wanted to go to our boat. The place was overall clean, but I felt that it could use attention to detail when preparing for the next guests to come. Coffee grinds were still in coffee pot. If you are larger people, the sleeping could be difficult. My husband and I shared a small full size bed. Both bedrooms have full sized beds. The weather was cool, so there were no issues with the heat, but if it was warmer, you may not like the fact it had no air conditioning. If you want a quiet, peaceful place to stay, this may not be it. We were on a major thoroughfare for boats. Going to the marina and voyagaire. We did have an overall a good time though. But, we won't be going back as the location of the cabin was not convenient for us.

Beautiful view from inside the cabin and out on the deck.

The cabin location was great for relaxing on the deck and overlooking the lake. It worked well for our family of five. Two sleeping in each bed and one on a comfortable air mattress.

Great view and a cozy cabin

We stay here with our children for 4 nights. The place was cozy and well stocked. The view was amazing! I failed to notice their was no air conditioning. It was not listed on the ad so it was my oversight. It was 92 degrees and very hot but the fans helped a lot! The beds were also not queen sized so we had to sleep with one of our kids because we never would have fit on the beds together. Beds were very comfortable despite being full sized not queen. We had a great time exploring around the cabin and playing games at night. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to take in all crane lake has to offer!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Nesseth

I have enjoyed the northern boarder lakes for many years. I was introduced to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area when I was in college. I have enjoyed this unique wilderness ever since. I am 58 and never grow tired of going to this wilderness, each time I go something new to see and discover.

Why they chose this property

Because this property is a mile or two from the end of all roads it give me the feel of real seclusion but 4 minutes by boat from the bars and restaurants and my car.
It is the gateway entry to the Voyageurs National Park with the endless lakes to explore with my motorboat.
It is also one lake away from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area which is no motor area with mile after mile of lakes interconnected with short portages. It gives me the access to two of the most unique wilderness areas in Minnesota.
