Family Vacation
Great vacation! Location and house was perfect. Saw many deer. Although, water by the pier was not swimmable and very mucky at this time. We had a boat and were able to cool off and swim in deeper as section of the lake. Fun, very quiet location for a family vacation with beautiful scenery. Can't wait to stop back!

Jump in weekend
We had a great weekend staying at this spacious lakehouse! The property gently slopes down to the water for a worryfree journey to the lake. The house itself was very accommodating especially for our large group of 8. Driveway is a very convenient U shape for big trailers. Wouldnt hesitate one second to recommend this place to anyone!

Great Family Cabin
We did a family ice fishing trip to Crane Lake and had a great time. The cabin has a great set up with plenty of space, all the necessities, and a lot of nice extras to make your stay comfortable. The lake views from the upper living room are fantastic. The cabin was also extremely clean. The communication with the owners was excellent. Brenda was extremely responsive and always willing to answer my questions leading up to the trip. She really went above and beyond. Overall, great experience. Definitely one of the best cabins we have rented in northern WI. We will be back.

Had fun with family. Room enough for the eight of us. They have eveything you need and stocked very well. Lots of crock pots and bowls. Gentle slope to water. It is not a swimming shoreline, we went out some and jumped off the pontoon. Loons, eagles and fish.

Nice House on a Remote Lake
It's a nice house on a remote lake. I wish I'd known there was no Wifi, because it's really remote and cell service was spotty. To the owners' credit, they pointed out that they didn't advertise Wifi. And I could've asked beforehand, but still. We'd drive into "town" to send texts with photos. There isn't really any town -- a couple of gas stations where we'd do our grocery shopping, some bar and grills. A golf course. Not one place to buy an ice cream cone that I could find. We left a day early. The owners had labels on things around the house, like the washer and dryer ,"not for renters' use," which I get, as a former landlord. The label about video monitoring kind of weirded out my kids and they were always looking for the camera. I'm glad the neighbor agreed to take care of my one trash bag because we left on a day that the dump wasn't open, but even if it were open, what a pain it would be to have to drive to the dump and then return to the house to drop off the permit before then heading home. The house itself is very spacious and comfortable, there are two canoes and two paddleboats which the kids loved, and there are fish to catch. I could see it being amazing in the right situation.

Wonderful Up North Getaway
This home was perfect for our vacation. We had two families with kids ranging from 5-16. Everyone slept comfortably and the basement was nice for the kids to get away from the parents a few of the rainy moments we had. The views were spectacular and the kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and on the lake. The owners are very communicative and were great to work with. Definitely a place to come back to!

The home was very clean and fully prepared upon arrival. Really enjoyed the lake fishing, boating and kayaking. Family loved the fish cleaning station. Neighbors and surrounding businesses were very welcoming and friendly. Golfed 36 holes between a local course and a course about 1/2 hour away. Would definitely consider returning.

Beautiful Lakefront Property
We were looking for a last minute long weekend getaway for our anniversary and were lucky enough to find this place. We were surprised with a card and bottle of wine congratulating us on our anniversary when we walked in. It is right on Crane lake, a beautiful lake that we basically had to ourselves, except for a few fishing boats here and there. We kayaked and fished and had a blast. There was a nice dock to fish from as well. The house was clean and well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals, multiple outdoor spaces and grills, and fire pits. The fish cleaning sink and counter was really helpful for the few fish we caught. If you are looking for a well maintained lake front property, this is it. We will definitely be returning.

This was a beautiful place on a rustic lake. The house had everything a traveler could want, and in abundance.
