Top Crane Lake Hotel Reviews

The Blue Heron Inn

10/10 Excellent

"GREAT LOCATION GREAT STAFF A LITTLE DATED"

Restored 1870 Victorian Home in Historic LaPorte, IN all for you..

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at Claudia's beautiful Victorian home. After staying there last year while in town for a class reunion, my closest high school friends and I felt we should get together annually. We had such a great experience with Claudia last year that we did not hesitate to book her place again. There were 3 of us that stayed in the home, and we each got our own bedroom (there are 4 bedrooms). Claudia has updated the home while still maintaining its original charm. We did not prepare any meals during our stay, but the kitchen seemed to be well supplied with whatever we might have needed in the way of pots and pans. Claudia is a very responsive host and is happy to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I see another stay there in our future!"

Victorian home 7-bedroom homes with full mother on law suite in back

10/10 Excellent

"This home was beautiful! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The beds were amazing and the outdoor area was relaxing. I wouldn't change a thing."

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"

Luxury Living On The Lake

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lat minute family trip for the Labor Day Holiday. I was rejected by another Vrbo host and when I submitted my request for this home, I was instantly approved and didn’t have to wait long to get accepted.Communication with Jeremiah smooth and friendly polite and quickly. The rooms were in very good condition, clean and comfortable. Plenty space for the number of guests. Beds were very comfortable and cozy and felt like home. Everything was in order. Thank you so much for letting my family stay at your beautiful home and will most definitely come back and stay!"
