It was such a pleasure hosting you Emma, and we’re so happy you enjoyed the cottage and got to experience Crane Lake again. It sounds like you appreciated the cottage for exactly what we love about it — our quiet bay, and a place to relax and unwind as soon as you turn into the driveway. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!

Great Cottage on the Water

Loved this stay! The muskoka room was especially nice, capturing the breeze but keeping out the mosquitos. Please note that there are a lot of stairs down to the property from the parking area. Owners were lovely and prompt in responses.

Peace and tranquility

What a perfect spot for viewing the fall colours. The cottage is lovely - many places to hide away to relax, read a good book or just watch the clouds and listen to the loons! Dana and Steve are fabulous hosts. Very communicative and responsive! Thank you!

Beautiful Quiet Getaway!

My friends and I throughly enjoyed our time at this listing. The lake was still and quiet with the water being quite warm! The cottage came with lots of fun outdoor and indoor activities including board games, kayaks, latter ball, corn hole, etc. The unit was clean and included everything we needed to enjoy our weekend. Steve and Dana were extremely friendly hosts and proactive in their communications. We greatly appreciated their quick responsiveness! Overall a 10/10 experience. Would recommend to anyone!

Great choice for a September stay

My wife and I chose to spend a quiet September week at this property in advance of the birth of our first child later this year. The location was picturesque and the accommodations were quite immaculate. We had plenty of time for barbecues, puzzles, movies, and reading. Were it not for my wife catching an acute cold, we might have hit the lake or otherwise seen more of the nearby sights. The weather was also a bit on the cold/overcast side, but the cottage itself was plenty warm (even without the use of the fireplace). Would definitely recommend this location for about two families (with kids), as it was way more space than we could use ourselves. We can't wait to return in the future (with our own little one in tow).

Beautiful Property

We had an amazing 6 days at this beautiful cottage. It was very clean and the owners were very easy to get in touch with and very helpful. We had age ranges from 8 to 80 and everyone had a great time.

Lake Cabin

Great property, the owners were on top of ensuring we made it the the property as east as possible. The location was perfect, slightly out of the way and right on the lake. Perfect for morning coffee on the dock. Great place for a little bit of piece and quiet in the loud world.

Beautiful cottage in a private bay

This beautiful cottage is located in a private bay, with only a few other cottages scattered around it. The area is great for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing; all of which was provided for our use. The cottage itself has a rustic, yet modern feel to it. The owners had it stocked with everything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay. It was clean throughout. The only downfall for us was that we picked a week when it rained the entire time. We were able to watch movies, play games, and read in a beautiful setting overlooking the colourful autumn leaves, however.

Paradise on Crane Lake

The cottage is lovely in all respects. It is clean and modern where it matters, but stills has a charming 'cottage feel'. If anything, the photos don't quite capture how well laid-out it is and how pleasant the property is. It is bright and airy but also not too hot and sun-exposed. The water is wonderful and the bay is quiet and light on traffic but well situated on the lake. Steve was very communicative and superbly helpful and accomodating as a host. I am very much looking forward to coming back!

A hidden gem!!

The worst part about this cottage is having to leave. The cottage is on a beautiful and protected bay. Dock gets sunshine all day and well into the evening. The cottage was extremely clean and organized. Hosts are great and super easy to reach. Perfect weekend getaway. Would book again in a heartbeat! Thank you for having us!

Wonderful stay, beautiful cottage!

We spent a wonderful week at Steve and Dana's cottage. The cottage is very well equipped, with anything you could have wanted in the kitchen. All rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. The decor is beautiful and we loved our time in the Muskoka room and down on the dock. Boating, kayaking and hiking in the area was great: the information provided by the owners made accessing and enjoying the area very easy.
