Bruce is an awesome host and provided a very personal touch, checking in with us on a daily basis and making sure we were well taken care of. He also helped us figure out a last-minute boat rental crisis by finding us a replacement pontoon boat when we had to turn ours in a day earlier than expected. We enjoyed this vacation so much we already made reservations for next year.

The beds were comfortable and the view was terrific. Bruce and his staff were so gracious. He even treated us to his deluxe Bloody Marys on the shore on Saturday morning. We had a minor problem with an electrical breaker being tripped and Bruce was there in 5 minutes to take care of the problem. Bruce was even kind enough to take some of us for a boat tour of Crane Lake which was fantastic. They welcomed our dogs too. Great experience. I highly recommend booking with Cabins on Crane!

The resort consists of almost 30 cabins of various sizes, plus a large "retreat home" down the shore that we haven't seen yet. The "log" cabins range from fairly cramped and rustic to much more modern and spacious. We've rented one of the larger cabins for two older couples set back from the lake the past few years and really enjoy it. Pehrson caters to family vacations and reunions, and a lot of the patrons we met have been coming there for decades. It is truly a fine lake summer experience, located in the southwest corner of sprawling Lake Vermilion. We've taken advantage of pontoon rentals; the pickleball court; 2+ mile hiking trail; the beach and swimming area with large floats the kids love to climb all over; a small but surprisingly well-equipped fitness room with a few cardio machines plus dumbbells, Swiss balls, bands, etc.; foosball, a pool table and ping pong tables at the Main Lodge; a great lakeside seating area to view spectacular sunsets; and charcoal barbeque grills (some of which are deteriorating). Yes, it is expensive -- especially compared to what you might pay at a nice Caribbean resort -- but the pricing looks competitive against other Northern resorts.

We must mention Walter, the Springer who greets the arriving guests with a total wag. This is a family-oriented resort with many activities for the kids, even including dock fishing that is all catch and release-a great ethic to teach. Watercraft of every sort is available and there is a nice sandy beach as well. And the fishing was terrific despite the 6" rainstorm that came in and flooded Cook. We will return.

Michael and Emily were super responsive to my many questions and I felt their pontoon rental and gas prices were fair for the area. They even accommodated us when we wanted to return the pontoon earlier than planned. We just had such a great time and got too tired to spend another day on the lake. The pontoon we rented was perfect for our large group. It was a 2008, so it didn't have Bluetooth speakers (we just brought our own portable speakers. It was equipped with a live well and a GPS fish finder system for our fishermen. Canopy withstood the strong winds during a storm. Comfortable seating too. They even let us park 2 of our vehicles at their lot during our rental, which made loading and unloading so much easier. Great service, great pontoon rental, A+!

It has just what you need including a beautiful view of the lake form the cabin window. We were greeted warmly and knew the basics from reading the binder in the cabin. We used the kayaks that are available to guests to zoom around the lake. We saw loons and other water fowl. The group campfire each night brought most guests together to talk or just look out on the sunset. To add to the already-great resort, it's operated by Chicago Voyagers whose mission it is to youth experience nature. So you're stay is funding a good cause. We will definitely be back!
