About this property

Facowie Lodge - (Loon Lodge), Premier Lodging near Crane Lake, MN

  • Facowie (pronounced Fa-cow-wee, named after a lost Indian Tribe) Lodge is a wilderness retreat is located just Northwest of Buyck right off the main thoroughfare of Crane Lake Road approximately 5 miles before the town of Crane Lake.

    This two-unit home (this unit Loon Lodge, VRBO listing 4544341and the other unit Grand Lodge, VRBO listing 4553868, can be rented separate or combined for a larger group) is beautifully situated over a small tranquil lake called Kabustasa right across from Echo Lake. It is a very peaceful setting without all of the hustle and bustle of a large resort. The lodge is set up for accommodations for the outdoor enthusiast, family vacations or business retreats.

    Both lodges are set up as two bedroom units with one having a larger living area. They are both tastefully decorated in a Northern Minnesota style and nicely furnished with an "up north" theme. They can each easily accommodate up to 4-7 people and an adjoining door can be opened up to accommodate larger groups. The lodge is angled so that is has a full view of the small picturesque lake and has some gorgeous sunsets to the west across the lake.

    The area is filled with many outdoor adventures and activities to do. There are many types of adventures that can be found in the area, including hiking, site seeing, boating, blueberry picking, bird watching, wildlife sightings, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, 4 wheeling and the list goes on!

    Google Earth is a great program that allows you to zoom from the sky to have a bird's eye view of Kabustassa Lake and see the beautiful area surrounding Facowie Lodge. This is a free download software package that allows you to the terrain and all of the lakes. Our Lodge is located right off of a paved highway so it is easily to locate and very accessible.

Crane Lake Get Away

The property is an absolutely perfect way to explore the area, and have a nice, quiet spot to go to relax. We loved the sunsets, the cabin was beautiful, and the outdoor sitting area/fire pit was a favorite spot to end our evenings. Loved everything about it!

Perfect and Peaceful

The lodge was perfect with every need and convenience met. We cooked most meals at the lodge and everything needed was provided in the kitchen. The internet was high speed and the TV had every channel imaginable. We especially enjoyed the view from the deck and also the fire pit. We loved the very dark night sky - perfect for star gazing. It was so quiet and peaceful! The owner was very responsive and went the extra mile to make our stay perfect. We enjoyed the NPS boat tour at Voyager’s National Park, the wolf center in Ely, hiking and biking. Beautiful region of the USA. A wonderful and relaxing week. We definitely intend to return for another visit to the lodge.

My stay was even better than I anticipated! I felt right at home with the comfortable accommodations and full-service kitchen that had everything I needed to cook. Dave is a really responsive host and is very much a part of the local community, which makes it easier to get to know the owner and the regulars at the tavern just steps away from the property. The view of the lake was incredible, especially at dawn and dusk, and it was a great place to see all kinds of migratory birds!

Lovely little gem of a cabin!

We stayed for three nights in the Loon Lodge. The lodge is very clean, well-equipped, and the property owners are great communicators! The view from the deck is beautiful, peaceful, and the area loons sang to us while we enjoyed our morning coffee. We would stay here again!

A little gem

A little gem. Stayed over New Year’s Eve. Great stay if winter is your thing. Silence was unlike anything I have ever experienced. A great dark sky to look at stars (when clouds don’t obscure…) Dave and Jill are terrific hosts

As expected-ish

Everything was as expected. The property was further away from the water and closer to a main highway than we anticipated. It was really nice to have the entire property to ourselves but we were all a bit disappointed to see we had gotten the smaller cabin even though no one else was staying there. We were there for 3 full days As the only woman with my husband, our two strapping young sons, and our dog, I could’ve used a little more space. The ambiance was typical Northern Minnesota cabin-style. Real log furniture throughout. Real uncomfortable log furniture throughout. We really appreciated the extra blankets, kitchen towels, and extra pillows. We would have probably come back had we been given the larger cabin. That just left a sour taste in my mouth.

Renting out a property requires taking responsibility

Loon Lodge is a spacious and reasonably well-furnished accommodation. Unfortunately, that is where the praise has to stop. There were too many things wrong after this that put this property on our "do not go" list. Let me start with the biggest issue. We were kept awake half of the night of Aug 19-20 because of a faulty smoke alarm that went off twice starting at about 1:30 a.m. We spent about an hour and a half outside the lodge waiting for the fire department to show up twice to check the the premises out. Eventually they had to yank out the smoke detector before we could sleep. Our plans for the next day were completely shot, including a boat trip in Voyageur National Park for which we had bought tickets in advance. The lodge owner "apologized" for this problem, but that does not cut it. Smoke alarms need to be checked and replaced periodically, it is not acceptable to do this only when they exhibit faulty behavior, especially when you have someone else staying on the property and paying good money for the stay. The lodge owner is yet to take responsibility and make amends; it is especially irksome that the only "responsibility" he has taken is to inform us after we have left that the smoke alarm was really faulty and has now been replaced! Other things indicate a similar lack of responsibility. The "Guest Information" is rather out-of-date. It should also not be describing activities 100 miles away, such as at Rainy Lake. Space limits listing other issues.
