    We enjoyed our stay and the unlimited options for boating and fishing. It was nice to meet the owner in person. If you are looking for a small fishing cabin close (by boat) to the marina with the option to travel by boat miles and miles away, this is it! Handberg marina staff were very helpful and courteous. The views from the deck are relaxing, but be sure you can climb the hill to the cabin with your supplies. As some others have said, it is right by the big cabin but we still felt isolated enough.

    The Hilltop Cabin was perfect! It was filled with everything we needed for a fun filled family weekend of fishing, playing, swimming, and watching the Timberwolves. We will be back! Gary, thanks for your kindness, hospitality, and help -

    We have stayed at this property a few times over the past 10 years or so. Always have a great time, the property has many amenities that other rentals in the area don't offer. Location is close to dining, shopping and gas.

    First of all, the view from the deck of the cabin was great. Enjoyed our coffee and some wine at night out there. We docked our boat at the dock we were instructed to. The cart was there to use for us to put our stuff into. But, we had no idea prior to coming that the incline to get to our cabin was so steep. It took several trips with the help of our grandson to get all of our stuff to the cabin. My husband and I have no physical limitations, but it was still challenging plus annoying every time we wanted to go to our boat. The place was overall clean, but I felt that it could use attention to detail when preparing for the next guests to come. Coffee grinds were still in coffee pot. If you are larger people, the sleeping could be difficult. My husband and I shared a small full size bed. Both bedrooms have full sized beds. The weather was cool, so there were no issues with the heat, but if it was warmer, you may not like the fact it had no air conditioning. If you want a quiet, peaceful place to stay, this may not be it. We were on a major thoroughfare for boats. Going to the marina and voyagaire. We did have an overall a good time though. But, we won't be going back as the location of the cabin was not convenient for us.

    The cabin location was great for relaxing on the deck and overlooking the lake. It worked well for our family of five. Two sleeping in each bed and one on a comfortable air mattress.

    We stay here with our children for 4 nights. The place was cozy and well stocked. The view was amazing! I failed to notice their was no air conditioning. It was not listed on the ad so it was my oversight. It was 92 degrees and very hot but the fans helped a lot! The beds were also not queen sized so we had to sleep with one of our kids because we never would have fit on the beds together. Beds were very comfortable despite being full sized not queen. We had a great time exploring around the cabin and playing games at night. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to take in all crane lake has to offer!

    The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The views from the deck were awesome! The walk up the hill was not bad at all! There was a cart waiting for us, so we didn’t have to make as many trips to load and unload. We’d go back again!

    It was fun and adventurous trip. We love the area, cabin, and trails. The owner was friendly and easy to get hold of when we have questions. We surely will come back in the future.
