Hygge Hideaway w/ private sauna - Crane Lake

We had a great stay at Hygge Hideaway. The cabin was clean, well stocked and perfect location to explore Crane Lake and Voyageurs. Emily was a great host and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay!

Very cute place. Clean and easy access to the lake. We had a great time. Thank you !

We had a great stay. We liked the Hygge Hideaway with the cozy living room, nice decorations and the wonderful rocking chairs on the porch with a great view of the lake. The dock was great for docking our boat and the location is fabulous right across the bay from the town of Crane Lake and easy access to the lake. Our one recommendation is to have wifi reception that works as we were relying on wifi access for a few items while we stayed. In summary, we had a great time and loved the Hygge Hideaway.

Minus 1 star - The property manager contacted us about 24 hours before checking in to let us know that the wi-fi extender just broke and the internet wasn't working properly. A back and forth ensued as to why we needed the internet, wouldn't our phones work instead, we could sit on the porch of the giant cabin next door to get the internet, or we could go across the lake to use the wifi at the resort across the street. Unacceptable. Eventually, an inconsequential refund was offered. A review posted in August (past my cancellation window) shows that they have been having internet trouble for a few months. If you need reliable internet and don't want to walk around in the rain to get it, look elsewhere. Minus 1 star - The living room was clean. The bedroom was clean. The bathroom was clean. The kitchen seemed clean.....until I started to cook. A film of dust and a few dead gnats covered the exhaust hood. Human hair and crumbs were evident in the silverware drawer. The paper towel holder hasn't been cleaned in months. A few onion skins had dried and stuck fast to the base cabinet doors. The cleaning crew needs to deep clean anything under the countertop and out of sight. Also, I had to clean the windows at the front of the hideaway. I only cleaned 3 of the 5. Hopefully, the next guest doesn't need to clean the two I skipped. Other things of note: The Hideaway has the potential to be a retreat for relaxation and seclusion. But you should know that the owners of the property have a gargantuan cabin (not present in photos unless you know where to look) about an underhand toss away. Thankfully, they were not present during our stay. Also, there is a tiny shed, (not present in the photos) between the hideaway and the owner's cabin, that is under renovations at the moment. Both Saturday and Sunday someone (perhaps the property manager) was present on the property doing some type of work. Definitely ruins the feeling of privacy. The massive lodge and boat rental across the lake is surprisingly well-lit at nighttime. The lights ruin any type of stargazing from the dock. A few positive things: The bed was very comfortable. Most vacation rentals have beds that sag. This bed was pleasantly firm. The sunset from the dock is beautiful. The best photo I took from our two-week trip was taken from the dock. We had a canoe provided for us for a daily fee.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at the Hygge Hideaway and had a wonderful time. The cabin was very clean, cozy and well decorated. We brought our boat and spent a lot of time exploring Voyaguers. It was so convenient to have our boat docked during our stay, and it allowed us to boat just across the bay to Voyagaire Lodge for dinner several times, which was excellent. Communication was great, though we didn’t need anything else while we were there! We would definitely recommend this cabin and consider staying again!

Enjoyed the gorgeous lake views from the porch and lawn. Cabin was cozy and comfortable for the 2 of us. Wifi not working, which hampered planning activities with friends in the area, otherwise 5 stars.
