We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend! Brenda was wonderful to work with and quickly responded to any questions I had. The home was very clean and very well stocked, from the kitchen to the games to the outdoor toys. They even managed to make it relatively mosquito free!! We are definitely considering a return visit next year!

My family and I had a lovely week. The house had all the amenities one would need. The house was spotless upon arrival. There were labels to show where everything was throughout the house which was very helpful. Communication with the hosts was outstanding throughout the entire process. I highly recommend renting the host's pontoon boat; it allows you the best access to the lake. Another nice bonus are the sweetest, kindest neighbors next door that are willing to help if you have questions. Thank you Kevin and Brenda for a lovely week on the lake!

Peaceful Getaway

The property is amazing. Hidden in the woods with excellent shade in the evening. The water front access was great for kayaking and we enjoyed fishing off the dock. Great place for a quiet getaway.

Everything was SO clean and we had everything we needed! The place was set up so nice and we had plenty of room to gather as a family. Having access to the water and being right on the lake was a major plus, especially with children. Loved it!!!!

Family Vacation

Great vacation! Location and house was perfect. Saw many deer. Although, water by the pier was not swimmable and very mucky at this time. We had a boat and were able to cool off and swim in deeper as section of the lake. Fun, very quiet location for a family vacation with beautiful scenery. Can't wait to stop back!

This property is very well maintained. Home and kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Dishes, pots, pans cookware are all very nice. Beds were comfy. Plenty of linen for everyone. If you're looking for amenities and things to do on the water you've come to right place. Nice view also.

Jump in weekend

We had a great weekend staying at this spacious lakehouse! The property gently slopes down to the water for a worryfree journey to the lake. The house itself was very accommodating especially for our large group of 8. Driveway is a very convenient U shape for big trailers. Wouldnt hesitate one second to recommend this place to anyone!

Had fun with family. Room enough for the eight of us. They have eveything you need and stocked very well. Lots of crock pots and bowls. Gentle slope to water. It is not a swimming shoreline, we went out some and jumped off the pontoon. Loons, eagles and fish.

Great Family Cabin

We did a family ice fishing trip to Crane Lake and had a great time. The cabin has a great set up with plenty of space, all the necessities, and a lot of nice extras to make your stay comfortable. The lake views from the upper living room are fantastic. The cabin was also extremely clean. The communication with the owners was excellent. Brenda was extremely responsive and always willing to answer my questions leading up to the trip. She really went above and beyond. Overall, great experience. Definitely one of the best cabins we have rented in northern WI. We will be back.

Great getaway

My family and parents stayed for 4 nights and had a great time relaxing, fishing and boating. My daughter and I caught a bunch of panfish and we saw loons, Golden eagles and bald eagles. The lake is not really for swimming since there are so many weeds but we had a great time fishing and catching frogs! The home was very clean and spacious and well equipped with anything and everything you would need! The only thing I would want to let people know is that if you have a parent that is older and uses a walker it is quite difficult for them to get down to the pier. All in all it was a great vacation!

Thanks for renting our lake house! We are glad you enjoyed some of what nature has to offer. The loons and eagles are often seen on Crane Lake. The lake is a weedy lake which holds a lot of panfish and can be easily caught from the dock. The island on Crane Lake has a sandy area to anchor your boat and enjoy along with a couple areas on Pickerel Lake. We do have 4 short cement steps prior to entering the dock and are fortunate to have a very gradual slope to the lake. Thanks for the review! We are always looking to improve our place to make your stay enjoyable!

4th of July Family Getaway!

We stayed at this property from Wednesday to Sunday, over the 4th of July weekend. Throughout the 4 days and nights, we had 8 people coming and going. We had no issues with space or sleeping arrangements, there was plenty of room for all. It was a very welcoming and cozy house. The house (inside and out) was super clean and tidy, and all light switches/drawers were labeled which was helpful! And the view from the living room windows.. to die for. The house had everything we could have possibly needed - from kitchen utensils and ziploc bags to tissues and toilet paper to towels and marshmallow roasting sticks! Seriously... everything! We especially liked the front room with the extra fridge for our adult beverages. :) The communication from the property managers before, during and after our stay was excellent. I could not have asked for better communication. They were very quick to answer their phone when I had questions during our getaway. We also rented the pontoon and the property managers made the process simple and easy. Our security deposit was returned quickly to us after leaving on Sunday! We had such a fun and relaxing time and would love to stay again in the future. The ONLY thing that we thought the house could have used is a ladder on the end of the dock for easy access in and out of the lake when swimming.

Wonderful lakehouse!

This home is absolutely wonderful and so relaxing! It was spotless when we arrived. There is an abundance of household essentials for your use. There was plenty of room for 4 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs (1 lab and 1 mini-doxie.) The view is amazing! I loved watching the mist on the lake every morning. We used to lake side fire pit everyday and even cooked over the fire 2 nights. The kids loved the hammocks and running around the spacious yard. We didn't catch any fish off the dock but did get walleye, bass, northern, and bluegill from our boat. We also saw other people pulling in perch. The tunnel to Pickerel Lake was too small to get our boat through (Lund Impact 1775) but the other landing was within 5 miles. I would suggest checking with the Crane Lake lake association as we were informed we were in violation of local lake association rules after following what we found online. The gentleman said they had just changed the trolling lines per person rules that day, so make sure to check before heading out! I can't recommend this home enough! And I don't feel I have accurate words to describe how lovely it was. It felt like home. So homey and comfortable. Thank you so much for opening your home for others to make wonderful memories.

We are happy you enjoyed your vacation! The DNR changed the trolling rules mid-year for Forest County lakes per a conversation with the DNR and Lake Association. The new trolling rules should be posted at the boat landing and unfortunately are not updated on the DNR website. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Thanks for renting our lake house!

Nice House on a Remote Lake

It's a nice house on a remote lake. I wish I'd known there was no Wifi, because it's really remote and cell service was spotty. To the owners' credit, they pointed out that they didn't advertise Wifi. And I could've asked beforehand, but still. We'd drive into "town" to send texts with photos. There isn't really any town -- a couple of gas stations where we'd do our grocery shopping, some bar and grills. A golf course. Not one place to buy an ice cream cone that I could find. We left a day early. The owners had labels on things around the house, like the washer and dryer ,"not for renters' use," which I get, as a former landlord. The label about video monitoring kind of weirded out my kids and they were always looking for the camera. I'm glad the neighbor agreed to take care of my one trash bag because we left on a day that the dump wasn't open, but even if it were open, what a pain it would be to have to drive to the dump and then return to the house to drop off the permit before then heading home. The house itself is very spacious and comfortable, there are two canoes and two paddleboats which the kids loved, and there are fish to catch. I could see it being amazing in the right situation.

Thanks for staying at our lakehouse. As mentioned we don't advertise or have WIFI available currently but we are looking into it and hopefully have it offered in 2023 if we can find a reliable provider. We have a "Private Area" of our personal items which is monitored behind closed doors and not the privacy of the renters. Cell phone coverage is unfortunately out of our control and varies in performance depending on cell phone providers. We will look into possible ways to improve a signal if it is available. Victors Country Store in Pickerel does have ice cream cones or dishes available otherwise there isn't a ice cream drive in close by at this time. Thanks again for your stay!

We loved our stay at your place. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. It is a beautiful place. The owners did an excellent job reaching out to us to make sure our stay was pleasant. We were worried about launching our 19 foot ski boat at the public launch just down the road, but we managed to get it in with some gentle persuasion. The launch is very shallow (1-2 feet). The owners do offer a pontoon boat for rent which easily solves the problem. We would definitely consider staying here in the future.

Excellent Lake House!

We travel to the Northwoods to grouse hunt almost every year and decided to stay in Pickerel this year. The house was perfect for us — best place we have ever stayed.
