Excellent cottage

by Patricia T
Our first time at The Crane Cottage. The kitchen was nicer than mine at home. What you see in the photos is what you get. There were enough beds for my husband and I, are two girls and two grandkids. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were luxurious. Close enough to Dorset for your shopping needs. Best if you use water shoes as walk in entry was a bit mushy. Dock ladder was great for the old folks. Steps go right down so you are not trying to pull yourself up to first step. Grandkids (7&9) were in and out of water everyday. Needed to contact owner for a couple of items…they got back to us immediately and when we had an issue with BBQ flare ups, the Handyman came same day. This cottage met all our requirements and are thinking of renting again next year.

Beautiful, quiet and well appointed.

It was great to find such a jem. A spacious and well appointed cottage in such a private location, yet only minutes from town! Indeed, a rare combo that checks all the boxes.

Beautiful cottage, great location.

The location is just 10 minutes from Dorset, but quite private. The southern view across the lake was great as the leaves were changing during our Thanksgiving stay. Absolutely gorgeous. Lots of large windows in the sun room to relax and enjoy the scenery. The cottage is right on the water with easy access, which was nice for the grandparents. The building is a recent renovation. It's very clean with all the modern amenities. The kitchen was big and open, which made for a good conversation space while preparing large meals. Overall there's lots of space and everything is well anointed. We're looking forward to returning soon.

An absolutely perfect stay

by Sarah
This cottage ticked every box for our family and guests. The setting was beautiful, and it was nice having the lake just outside our door and windows rather than being hidden behind thick brush. There was space for everyone - in the kitchen eating together, outside on the deck overlooking the water, at the firepit and for sleeping comfortably. We loved having the sunroom to relax in, and the stylish décor touches everywhere throughout the cottage. The cottage featured so many amenities between kitchen appliances and outdoor items (canoe, kayaks, paddleboat and pool noodles), that we really only needed to pack clothes and food. The lake was quiet and calm. We spent so much time outside as the southern exposure ensured it was bright but we rarely had direct sun beating down on us. We all spent the whole time marveling at how the owners had thought of everything and how it was truly the most perfect cottage. Our family dog is still depressed that we had to leave as she loved jumping into the water to fetch sticks 🙂 We would be lucky to stay again on our next family vacation.
