We did a family ice fishing trip to Crane Lake and had a great time. The cabin has a great set up with plenty of space, all the necessities, and a lot of nice extras to make your stay comfortable. The lake views from the upper living room are fantastic. The cabin was also extremely clean. The communication with the owners was excellent. Brenda was extremely responsive and always willing to answer my questions leading up to the trip. She really went above and beyond. Overall, great experience. Definitely one of the best cabins we have rented in northern WI. We will be back.
A quiet....beautiful spot. very well maintained and comfortable we enjoyed our week on Crane Lake!
Had fun with family. Room enough for the eight of us. They have eveything you need and stocked very well. Lots of crock pots and bowls. Gentle slope to water. It is not a swimming shoreline, we went out some and jumped off the pontoon. Loons, eagles and fish.
Our family loved this home and really enjoyed the extra amenities this home had to offer with the paddle boats and canoes. The host was very responsive to messages when needed and we felt very at home staying here.
We had a relaxing and enjoyable week. Our accomodations were great, with plenty of space to spare. The extra refrigerator was a perk to store beverages. The view was fantastic!
This property is very well maintained. Home and kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Dishes, pots, pans cookware are all very nice. Beds were comfy. Plenty of linen for everyone. If you're looking for amenities and things to do on the water you've come to right place. Nice view also.
We travel to the Northwoods to grouse hunt almost every year and decided to stay in Pickerel this year. The house was perfect for us — best place we have ever stayed.
It's a nice house on a remote lake. I wish I'd known there was no Wifi, because it's really remote and cell service was spotty. To the owners' credit, they pointed out that they didn't advertise Wifi. And I could've asked beforehand, but still. We'd drive into town to send texts with photos. There isn't really any town -- a couple of gas stations where we'd do our grocery shopping, some bar and grills. A golf course. Not one place to buy an ice cream cone that I could find. We left a day early. The owners had labels on things around the house, like the washer and dryer ,not for renters' use, which I get, as a former landlord. The label about video monitoring kind of weirded out my kids and they were always looking for the camera. I'm glad the neighbor agreed to take care of my one trash bag because we left on a day that the dump wasn't open, but even if it were open, what a pain it would be to have to drive to the dump and then return to the house to drop off the permit before then heading home. The house itself is very spacious and comfortable, there are two canoes and two paddleboats which the kids loved, and there are fish to catch. I could see it being amazing in the right situation.
We had a great time and it was very relaxing. The accommodations were perfect! Plenty of room and then some, inside and out!
We absolutely loved this house and can’t wait to go back in the future. The view was breathtaking. This was the perfect lake house family vacation.
Our stay at the Lake House was great! Everything was nice and clean and the owners made the entire process easy and straight forward. We loved the view of the lake and the house had a great fire pit to make memories around. The pier was nice and very safe. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. We definitely hope to stay at the house again in the future!!!
We highly recommend this cottage. Very clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Great views, loons, eagles.
This home was perfect for our vacation. We had two families with kids ranging from 5-16. Everyone slept comfortably and the basement was nice for the kids to get away from the parents a few of the rainy moments we had. The views were spectacular and the kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and on the lake. The owners are very communicative and were great to work with. Definitely a place to come back to!
Relaxing and a great family recharge
The home was very clean and fully prepared upon arrival. Really enjoyed the lake fishing, boating and kayaking. Family loved the fish cleaning station. Neighbors and surrounding businesses were very welcoming and friendly. Golfed 36 holes between a local course and a course about 1/2 hour away. Would definitely consider returning.
