About this property

Wilderness modern lake cabin

  • Within 2 miles of the marina is your dock and wilderness cabin. Fully modern with new gas range and full electricity and plumbing.
    Located on the entry to the Voyageurs National park and the BWCA and Canada's Quentico Park. Travel by boat to endless connected lakes for some of the best fishing ever. Great fishing hotspot on lake is right off your own dock. Must see the Vermillion river gouge and waterfall about a mile away. Travel by boat to north end of Crane lake to the Narrows to enter Sand Point Lake and view the pictographes on the rocks from the earliest of inhabitant's. Continue on your journey to the other lakes in the National Park, and try your hand at different fish species, many fishing experiences in one spot. This property is only accessible by boat.

What a glorious family stay!

We had all our kids and grandkids with us (20 total) and stayed in three of Gary’s cabins on Crane Lake for Memorial Day werkend. Stunning! We’ve stayed at Gary’s cabins before - superb host, location, experience. Our group was from 1.5-70 years old and there was plenty for all to do. We rented a pontoon from an area resort and fished, toured the Narrows, and climbed to the top of the gorge, all a short boat ride away. Can’t wait to stay at Gary’s again!

Perfect get away

Stayed a week with my son and two grandkids. (7 & 12). Cabin is rustic (just what you'd imagine is for a guys fishing trip) and comfortable for four. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. Deck off the kitchen has a good gas grill and table and four Adirondack chairs. Location is convient to Handbergs Marina (park and launch for $5/day) as well as access to Sand Point. Dock is relativity new and firepit overlooks the lake in a Northwoods setting. Fishing was good for northern and bass. We had three fish meals and brought a limit home to share with the girls. Would definitely go again.

Location is great

The location is 5 star. The property is 3 star. Very small and no way would accommodate 4 adults. The place could use a through cleaning. Kitchen table was broken. Patio furniture has seen better days. You need to take your trash to a marina and pay to dispose. You will need a boat to get to the house. Dock is nice.

Nice getaway on the edge of Voyageurs NP

We had a nice stay at this quaint little cabin on Crane Lake. The accommodations were as described...2 bedrooms, comfortable beds, linens and clean. The dock was near the cabin, so even though you had to haul your gear up some stairs...it wasn't a very long hike. The cabin itself was older, but has had the necessary updates to make it comfortable for a family to spend the week. Two minor complaints - I wish the property had a fire pit. It sure would have been nice to spend the evenings outdoors around a campfire. I also think the price is a little high for the accommodations. $20 per night less would price it inline with other VRBO rentals I've personally rented.

Short fishing vacay

Cute little cabin, lots of steps but worth being closest to the dock :) On the small side with older furnishings but perfect for our needs and absolutely loved that my dogs were welcome!! Beds were comfy and even though there was no AC and the heat into the upper 80’s the cabin is shaded and there were plenty of fans. Also had a nice selection of games in the cabin. My phone and internet came in great with AT&T as stated in the description. Fishing was good, we caught lots of perch, bass and keeper walleyes- got the best fish trolling near the cabin! A very beautiful setting and loved the convenience of the dock. The owner was super responsive and very nice. We did our business with Handberg Marina and I highly recommend them! My only suggestion is to build the shower up a bit (maybe add a lip?) to decrease guests getting the floor wet. Definitely recommend this host and already planning a return next year!

Great Lake House!

The cabin was fantastic and our whole family loved it! The view of the water and firepit area were wonderful! Only callout is that the property is NOT located on an access road and is only accessible by boat.

A beautiful place to stay

The cabin has everything you would need for a getaway. It has a beautiful view of the lake and the sunrise in the morning. The cabin has a canoe & kayak available, plus a nice fire pit and gas grill. There are other cabins nearby and the dock is shared with another cabin, but it was still mostly quiet, except the occassional motorboat. I liked that it's only accessible by boat and does not have a TV or wifi. I would definitely come back again.

Great location

This was the nicest place we have stayed at Crane Lake, tried 2 defferent resorts. Gary's was the only place that wasn't bug infested. Had everything we needed, nicely decorated, great view, good dock. What more do you need? Thanks Gary for a great stay.

Quiet and peaceful

The location and property was awesome. Crane Lake and everything it is connected to is immense. This is a quiet fishing area that was just what our family needed to get away from our daily chaos. The fact that the cell and wifi service was limited was one of the best parts. The listing didn't get 5 stars because it doesn't say that you need a boat to access the property. We found that out the week before and had to scramble to rent a boat. The check in process went smooth after we called Gary to ask him how to get in. He always answered his phone and answered questions but there were no check in materials provided. The cleanliness is fine for a backwoods cabin. Don't expect the Ritz.

Good Experience but need to know what you are getting

Overall, we had a great week. Everything worked as it should and we liked the old-time feel of the property. Most everything seemed original such as: linoleum, carpet, paneling, siding, windows, etc.. it was like stepping back in time which we really appreciated and reminded us of the houses we grew up in as kids! It is probably set up better to accommodate two fishermen and not an anniversary retreat, however. Beds, while relatively comfortable enough, seemed smaller than full size. (We are used to a queen bed and this was significantly smaller) Fire ring wasn't set up yet but he is preparing for it to be in its permanent home soon. Neighbors are rather close and can be heard from with the windows open. Dock was in great shape considering it had just gone through a flood. A few notes for others searching: Verizon and ATT work fine from the cabin. For the Fisherman, a 50 foot extension cord is necessary to plug in your onboard charger but this cabin does have an external (outside) electric outlet which was a nice surprise! Fishing was tough on Crane and Sand Point but great on Namakan. This means spending much more on gas than planned but the boat rides and scenery are well worth it! (Must see: "Boat to" spots are Grassy Bay Cliffs, Makooda Lake hiking trail (good blueberry picking!), & Vermilion River Gorge hiking trail and drive to spot Vermilion River Falls {watch out for the poison Ivy there though}. For a night out I highly recommend Voyagaire Lodge, great food! Overall it was a great trip, Thank you Gary!

Nostalgic and cozy

We had a great experience. The cabin is cozy with a breathtaking view, especially if you enjoy sunrises! I was reminded of cabins on my past. There are resorts, bars and restaurants a short boat ride away while allowing access to the remote wilderness of Voyageurs National Park. Gary was accessible and accommodating.

Crane Lake Fishing Trip

Had a blast fishing Canadian waters, completely accessible from Crane. Cabin was perfect for us. Was a bit hot the first night, but Gary brought us some fans and all was good. Gary also had some great recommendations for a fishing guide - Mike from Voyaguers Guide Service! and for dinner at Nelson's Resort. I would highly recommend! Thanks!

Fishing trip on Crane Lake

We enjoyed our rental on Crane Lake. Gary was very responsive prior to and during our stay. The cabin is rustic and was supplied with everything we needed for the stay.we had fun playing the provided games which included Monopoly, Jumanji, cribbage and others. Although there is a couch that pulls out into a bed, it was not the most comfortable. Grill and deck were nice for hanging outside on nice days. The dock is shares with another cabin. Would recommend this cabin for fishing or boating trips on Crane Lake. The lake water in July was perfect for swimming, but the it was a little warm for fishing (we only caught one Walleye the whole week we were there, however we caught small mouth and northern on the little vermillion). Would definitely consider renting this cabin again for futurd trips to Crane Lake. For a break from cooking, checkout Voyagiers lodge for dinner one night during your stay which is a short boat trip from the cabin.
