    We couldn't be happier with our stay at Jo Ann's property. It's a gorgeous location, quiet, and makes you feel secluded. She had thought of everything in the house and for outside, we've been coming to the area for 9 years and her property was the most well appointed we've stayed at. We are now spoiled! One thing I didn't find much about in other reviews when researching was information regarding the dock. This was super important to us as we were bringing along a 22 ft fiberglass boat, we were pleasantly surprised that she had a brand new dock and it was kept in excellent shape with rubber around the exposed wood. We were there in the fall when the water is usually at its lowest and we did have to trim up to get through the shallow parts but other than that we are very happy with the boat dock, plus it is set back in a bay so you do not run into the waves that you do in other more exposed locations. Will be setting up a stay again for next year and cannot wait!

    The dock in the back yard is the perfect spot for lounging by the lake and also night sky viewing. Jo Ann couldn’t have been friendlier. It was a wonderful stay!

    We had a great week at bayside retreat with our extended family. We had 9 people but didn’t feel too cramped. Location on the lake was the best part. Host was very nice and responsive. A lot of rentals aren’t that clean but this place lived up to my family’s pretty high standards.

    House was perfect, dock was nice. Located in a quite shallow bay. Caught a couple small walleyes and northern off the dock during the week. Rented a pontoon for the week to explore Vouyagers which was awesome. Thanks for sharing your place!

    This was our first time away from home since March and we desperately needed to unplug and unwind. This was the place to do it. We spent a lot of our time on the lake fishing or tubing. We even took the pontoon up the lakes all the way to Namakan Lake one beautiful afternoon. Bayside was a great place to gather for meals and to hang out in the evenings before off to bed to get up early and chase the elusive fish. Definatley on our return to list.

    The home is very well taken care of. Plenty of space. Well stocked and it provided a great place to base of fishing vacation. Crane Lake is a great access point for other lakes such as Sand Point Lake and Namakan Lake.

    It was perfect for our family, so nice and clean. Enjoyed tubing, fire pit, long walks (hiking) and fishing - even though it wasn’t the best, we had a great fish dinner our last nite. Want to come back next year maybe earlier in the year. Jo Ann is so nice to work with. Entire family enjoyed it!!
