Top Crane Lake Hotel Reviews

The Blue Heron Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Quaint, well maintained and welcoming, Beautiful hotel."

Stone Lake Lookout

8/10 Good

"First of all, the host was always available and answered any questions promptly. My nursing school friends, from the 60's, and I were pleased with the house. The living space was clean and there was ample room for more people. My bed was very comfortable, and I slept better than I do at home. Most days included sitting by the fire pit in the front yard and talking with the friendly neighbors who passed by and petting their dogs. We also enjoyed s'mores over the fire one night. There were enough places to visit during the day, and our evenings were spent playing cards. All in all, it was a very enjoyable trip. Two of us actually had a chance to dip a fishing line in Stone Lake."

Lakefront Tech-savvy Home with Seasonal Pool & Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"The house was very cool. I definitely recommend this house for a couples trip or friends trip rather than a family trip. I would not say the house was kid friendly. However, I was with my teenagers so they were fine hanging by the pool, watching sports and working out. The house was very high tech just like the description. I thought it was priced a bit high as there is not much to do around the area, you can’t rent a boat for the lake it’s on and you had to drive a ways to get to any kind to of establishment. The house also didn’t have any canoes or kayaks for the water and there is marsh so you can’t fish either. They have a huge yard but nothing to do - no bags or games for people to play while you are outside. You are basically paying that steep price for a bed to sleep in. You were also not allowed to park in the garage and they have a habacci table you are also not allowed to use unless you have a chef- it’s something that should be mentioned because it would have been fun to do that - the house was cool - I would recommend to adults only"
