Our family planned a wonderful 7 day vacation at Nelson's Resort, Crane Lake. The 2 bedroom cabin was beautiful, the scenery was fantastic, but we had a mouse problem.
Unfortunately, we ended our stay early because the owner's only excuse for mice in the cabin and eating area was, "this is an old cabin". Not a good excuse for the price we paid. I don't think the owners allow mice in the lodge where they serve the public! more

My husband's family has been visiting Nelson's Resort since the early 80's. We will continue to make our yearly pilgrimage with our own four children who consider it "their place." If you love to fish, relax, hike and enjoy the outdoors, Nelson's is the place for you. We consider the fishing guides part of the family and have had great luck fishing catching walleye, trout, bass and crappie. There is a main dining lodge which has good food for breakfast lunch and dinner. It is an out of the way place with a lot of charm.
