Gorgeous lake view!

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!

Great place to stay!

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!!

Awesome lake house 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.

Crane Lake Getaway

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.

Great property with everything you need

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!

Nice house and dock.

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!

Nice, private place with a good view.

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.

Very well taken care of, cleanest cabin Ever!

Very clean, well "stocked" with any supplies needed!.... the only thing missing was a better view of the water.............. the Rule Book was very detailed so we had no questions on what to do with or to be sure to do... :) Truly a Very Nice home, so very well taken care of and provides all needs for renters!!!!

Bayside Retreat Annual Fishing Week

For the past 3 years we have spent a week in June fishing on Crane Lake. The past two years have been spent at the Bayside Retreat. Our group numbers from 4 to 7 each year depending on who's available and we bring our own boats. The home is located perfectly for our group, 5 minutes from the bait shop on the main road for all our fishing needs and 5 minutes to Voyagaire or Nelson's resort when we get tired of eating our own cooking. The home is well maintained, clean & up to date appliances, plus Wi-Fi & satellite TV and a great dock with power to recharge our boat batteries. Could not ask for anything better. We are looking forward to our fishing trip in 2017. Thanks Jo Ann, we had a great time again this year.

The whole family had a great time!

We absolutely love Crane Lake. We go every year at least twice a year. This time we needed a large home with several rooms for a wedding in September 2015. The home sits on a beautiful lot right on the lake. Also, the town of Crane Lake is only a few minutes drive away. You can't have it any better! Wilderness and a touch of civilization! The house is modern and has all the amenities we needed. Highly recommend anyone to rent Bayside Retreat!!
