Great northwoods bar/lounge in the lodge where you can get to know both the locals and the guests. Great fishing with optional guide services. Nostalgic quaint cabins are clean and tidy. This place beckons you to return. Loons calling. Star gazing. Nice nearby hiking trails. Great gift shop to purchase Nelson's swag and various sundries. There's a game room for the family, along with several outdoor activities for little and big kids alike. Also dog friendly. Hands down our favorite northwoods vacation spot.

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!

While it wasn't a 5-star hotel, it was still a nice, clean place prior to "gl-amping." (Glamorous camping on a houseboat). Our dinner in the restaurant was just meh - we just had hamburgers (no greens or veggies available on the menu so you're out of luck if you're a vegan). Service was slow, but it was only one person and they were really friendly. We splurged on a bigger boat and they upgraded us free to a relatively new boat. Overall, great experience and very happy. It was definitely a nice splurge and worth adding Voyager National Park to your bucket list of things to do!

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+!
