10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Three Sisters. Beautiful property with plenty of room for everyone and for 5 side by sides with trailers. The kitchen was well stocked and the property was in an excellent location. A few suggestions from our group: 1) switch the twin beds with footboards with the ones without so that tall people can sleep more comfortably if they have to be in that room. 2) basement mattress is ready for a change. Overall was truly a wonderful place and we so appreciated Emily’s quick responses and the early accommodation. Would definitely recommend and would stay again! Thank you!"

Wilderness modern lake cabin

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at this Crane Lake cabin and enjoyed it. It is very rustic, which we didn't mind and actually enjoy but there is no AC, no TV and no Washer/Dryer. The beds are small doubles, which after trying to sleep together the first night, my husband & I finally each took a bedroom, so I would say that it sleeps only two. There were only two blankets in the whole cabin and minimal pillows. I only saw one grounded plug-in, the rest were two-prong ungrounded. The location is great and the view is spectacular. It looks a little steep from the lake to the cabin but it wasn't bad at all to run up the steps. Items that were not in the kitchen that I missed were a strainer, and a meat thermometer - if you use those frequently like I do, bring them along. Also, the click start on the grill didn't work, so bring a long lighter. We would gladly stay again but would bring along some extra items that we didn't think we'd need."

Luxurious Wilderness New Log Home Borders Bwca, National Park

10/10 Excellent
"House was beautiful. Clean and well equipped. All utensils you could need. Freezer was froze up while we were there but owners son was aware. 2 bedrooms are 6 steps off main level. Then another level has pool table and another level has more beds. There are other cabins close by. Share a dock with another cabin and they have to walk thru your deck to get to their cabin. Was a little weird while sitting on deck having nice conversation and strangers come walking thru. But wasnt a huge problem.Views are good from swing area and one side of the deck House is on a busy point. You get to see all the different house boats and can watch people fishing off the point. Overall a nice place to stay."

Lumberjack Lodge - Modern waterfront home with breathtaking Crane Lake sunsets

10/10 Excellent
"The home is as presented - lots of space, very clean, beautiful location. The sunrises were especially grand. There's a public boat launch next door but it's not all that noisy or intrusive. Having a private dock was great. Definitely rent a boat or bring your own to enjoy the area fully. Emily the manager was phenomenal - very responsive and professional. There were a few minor issues with the home that she handled with ease. Definitely recommend this for a larger group, perfect for two families."
