Lakeside Escape on Beautiful Crow Lake - Welcome to The Crank's Roost

The Crank's Roost is the kind of cottage people describe to their friends on the drive home. Cozy, rustic, and loaded with outdoor space — this two-bedroom retreat is all about being outside as much as inside.

Face the water from your private deck, where a propane BBQ and a conversation seating area make it the natural place to land every evening. When you want more sun or a proper dinner spread, flip to the larger deck on the other side of the cottage — plenty of room to sprawl. A few steps down from the deck takes you straight to the waterfront. Your own fire pit rounds out the outdoor setup for nights when the stars are out and nobody wants to go in.
Sleeps up to six across two bedrooms — a queen in one, two twins in the other — plus a pullout couch and a futon for flexibility. Inside, the rustic charm is the whole point: warm, intimate, and genuinely comfortable. Bathroom facilities are a private shower suite up the hill (single occupancy, your own space) plus a half bath in the cottage itself. It works, and guests love it once they're in the rhythm of cottage life.
