Lake side house rentals in Crane Lake

Nicol’s place was very private and quiet. Located in a private bay on Shagawa Lake with no noise from other boats or vacationers. The house was clean and spacious, just as described. We had plenty of space for 7 and could have easily fit more. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept great. The kitchen was well appointed & had everything we needed for cooking all our meals in. We rented a pontoon from Lakewood Lodge to complete our week on the lake. We highly recommend Nicol’s place & would stay here again.

Great place. Everything went well. Would stay again!

Place was nice and quiet, a fun getaway with a great family game room. They have a nice dock with decent fishing: we caught a couple of large mouth bass and pike. Beautiful firepit and front porch to watch great sunsets. We enjoyed the sauna, cornhole and outdoor space. Unfortunately the deerfly were a bit annoying making it hard to be outside at times. Would recommend bringing a boat or kayak to get out on the lake. We would come back again.

My family and I had such an incredible stay at Jennifer’s lake house. It was the perfect combination of spacious, cozy, and private for us to spend our Christmas week there. The location and wintry weather had us feeling like we were in a snow globe. The house was even decorated for the season, and had more than enough room for the group we had. Makes me excited for the summer months, as I would absolutely book here again!

We stayed at this property to ride the ATV trail system. You could not ask for a better location to the system. Easy to get to the trails, and access to two great loops to ride.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view. We had a great time fishing, eating at various places and traveling the North Shore.

Wonderful stay! The house was just as described and we loved being able to use the kayaks and fire pit. The sunset views here are amazing and the kitchen has everything we needed for cooking. Would definitely stay again!

The place was as described. There were several things labeled as out of order including some of the windows and didn’t appear to have central air. One note was that the water got to be pretty dirty by the end of the weekend and had a musty smell to it. All things considered it did its job for a guys fishing weekend, close to a public access, not far from the casino, and had a dock to make quick stops for grabbing items at the place.

This lake house was absolutely wonderful!!!! A needed respite and very comfortable. The house is surrounded with beauty and the furnishings are so cozy that you feel like you are at home. Melissa has thought of everything and has gone beyond. The area has local stores and restaurants that have such unique ambiance with friendly staff. We stayed here for a month and a half with some of that time being colder weeks and were even able to enjoy a beautiful snow on the lake. If you are looking for a stay that will check all the boxes, you’ve found it in this place. Highly recommended!!!!

Beautiful cabin on a Great Lake. Host was kind and helpful. I would stay here again. Daniel

This is a wonderful off grid get away. We did a winter trip and pulled sleds with skis. Brought in water, coffee, and food. Made fires in the stoves for heat, and had a couple great saunas with cold plunges in the lake. Everything required work which is what my group was looking for. Wood to split, fires to feed, and lanterns to see at night. Close enough to ski back to the car and head to Ely anytime we wanted. Would recommend for unplugging from the busy world. Still had cell service if needed, but we stayed on airplane mode for the most part.

Loved the privacy of the cabin! Would definitely come back. The other campers were great too. Very friendly atmosphere. Quiet and lots to enjoy. Thank you!

This is our second visit, and it certainly won't be our last! This cabin is the ideal retreat for a weekend getaway. It's wonderfully cozy and equipped with every amenity you could wish for. Surrounded by amazing scenery, it truly is the perfect spot to disconnect and unwind. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to relax and recharge!

This Airbnb was great. Had everything that we needed within a beautiful condo space. Access to the lake and hot tub was great.

Fantastic place to stay in a peaceful location!

Staying at this cabin was a very special and serene experience for our family! We brought groceries and our fishing poles and Jim’s place had everything else we needed. The view is incredible and we enjoyed watching loons on the water throughout the day. We had a couple of questions during our stay and Jim was very responsive. We hope to stay here again and until then, I’ll be dreaming of that view. Thanks for sharing this amazing home with us!

Very nice place and in a great location. Would stay again in a heartbeat. David was very clear on the communication and made sure we had everything we needed. Cabin was well stocked with miscellaneous items in case you forgot something.

Private and peaceful. Easy to find and very comfortable.

Great cabin and great sunrise location. Used to be the Crane View Resort, historic and cool property. Gary is a great host. Thanks!

Very nice home to base out of for our snowmobile trip. Easy to find and plenty of parking for 2 pickups and trailers. The snowmobile trail is right out the end of the driveway-easy access. April was always just a call or text away to help with your stay. The home is spacious and a nice open floor plan. We utilized the heated garage to thaw out one of the snowmobiles and do some minor repairs.

We had a lovely stay. The temperature inside was easy to control. Nice and cozy. Loved the notes everywhere- they were clear and concise instructions. Really appreciated that. Lots of extra blankets. Beautiful view of the lake. Made a sketch of the lake. Cozy everything. Thank you for letting us stay and unwind.

Our trip to Crane Lake went better than we could have ever imagined. Everything was perfect. The cabin was spotless and happened to have a few of the things we forgot to bring, and then some. It has a nice large grassy area big enough for frisbee and yard games with our children and a nice fire pit with plenty of wood. It has a clean and safe dock where they delivered our rented pontoon boat the very first night. We took advantage of the 1/2 day boating trip offered. This not only helped us learn how to navigate the lakes(s) on our own for the rest of the trip, but Emily showed us a few hidden gems we most likely would have missed. The boat is a must-have as the park is only navigable by water. From spending our days cruising, cliff jumping, and exploring islands to taking advantage of quiet beaches and bays for daytime swimming, and the early morning paddle board rides on some of the calmest water I've ever seen - this trip couldn't have been more successful! We're hoping to revisit Crane Lake in the future, hopefully at this same spot.

Amazing host! Made us feel right at home, very helpful. Will definitely be coming back!

An Unforgettable Cabin Getaway! I recently stayed at this cabin, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The cabin itself was beautifully maintained—clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by nature, making it the ideal escape from everyday life. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the outstanding service. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. They were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and genuinely cared that I had the best experience possible. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality these days, and it made all the difference. If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful getaway with top-notch service, I can’t recommend this cabin enough. I’ll definitely be coming back!
