Quality business, quality people. A bit pricey, but they don't nickel and dime you. Our boat seemed in pretty good condition. Don't come here expecting a brand new houseboat. They are used, but they are clean and well maintained.Everyone is super friendly and quick to help out. We didn't need anything on the lake but listening to the radio, others had some needs that were met by attentive friendly staff.There is a daily run to bring you odds and ends. Yes, there is a cost associated, that's business. You don't have to use it. We did not, but it was nice to know it was availableThere is a fun morning report every day, given by a gal with a ton of energy. We looked forward to this every morning.They do radio trivia a few nights a week. We played once but were not able to due to our location another time

We rented a Sportcruiser with a hot tub for the week. 5 adults, 3 children. Rec.capacity was 6-8- we were definitely at capacity! We did add on the concierge service for the week, which I highly recommend. There is no where to get extra food or supplies. Black Hawk was super nice and knowledgeable about the boats, fishing, and best sites, and he did a great job of finding all the food, beverages, and fishing supplies on our orders. The loading and unloading team was super fast and friendly. Everyone was great!! Great trip, lots of great memories. We will be back to ride the slide, soak in the tub, and fish until sunset!!

Great place to stay or rent boats from!The walleye is amazing at their restaurant! On our last trip there, my youngest was not feeling well and wanted to stay inside a hotel instead of camping on the island for our last night. We went in and got the last available room in the area... the master suite. It was so spacious and roomy, all of us fit quite nicely. We were able to get a ton of rest and hit the lake for one last day before going back home. Thank you again Voyagaire for taking care of us and allowing us to eat all the walleye that we could.Oh, and the view from the Master Suite is to die for.

Went up for the fishing opener. The Lodge is under new management! All in all it is a very nice place to stay. We had room 9 which faces the lake. What a great view with the morning coffee!! New cook in the restaurant, couple of the meals were so so! A little pricey, but overall good food. On top of that, the weather was beautiful! And we caught a lot of fish!! Only downside was the sand fleas were out in force!!! Head nets were a must! But we are booked again for next year's opener!

We went out on the Houseboat, Ozark Queen, which later was changed to Dancing Queen 🤣. Sunday night we stayed at the Lodge. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable beds! AC works too good haha. We had to turn ours up to not freeze! Everyone at the Lodge is so friendly and nice! Dinner was spectacular and so was breakfast that Monday morning before we left on the Houseboat! All of the staff were Very friendly and helped out with everything! Made it a flawless transition from the RV to the Houseboat! Flooding stopped us from being able to move for the first few days, but both places we docked at were fantastic views! Sandy Point has an amazing view with the giant rock cliffs all around and all the little islands in view. It's tucked away in its own little space. When we moved, I cannot remember the exact location we ended up at, but closer to Big Pig Bay. The Eagles were absolutely beautiful! They loved it when we ate fish! They ate well those days haha! The island we were docked on was fantastic! We got to go out and walk all around it when we pleased! Just had to do it before the mosquitoes carried us away! A week does not do this place justice! I cannot wait until we go back! I dream about it every night . Highly recommend!!

Our family of four (14 and 11 year old boys) stayed in the lodge one night and on a houseboat for four nights. We had the most amazing adventures, fun, and beautiful scenery both day and night. The service was also outstanding! I would recommend this trip to any family to be able to go and unplug technology, while plugging back into some very exciting family fun!

Five night, five and a half day trip. Made it up to Lost Bay on Kab Lake and hiked the Cruiser Lake Trail and over to the Kettle Falls Hotel. Went the second to last week in September and weather was good other than one rainy day. Just me and my wife and one of our dogs on a 44 foot Sportcruiser with a hot tub.Awesome time.

We just finished our second houseboat trip with Voyagaire and cannot recommend enough. The rooms in the lodge are spacious and clean, the food in the restaurant is fabulous, the houseboats are clean and comfortable, and all of the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved cruising the lakes, swimming, paddle-boarding, fishing and enjoying nature.

Staff were cordial and it was easy to get ready to sail. The boat itself has seen its best days and needs renovation and a deep cleaning (fabric furniture was filthy). Worst part was when we arrived an hour early to exit time (9am). It was like pirates on a ship. We had to get angry and ask them to stop taking our things before we were ready as we needed to pack up and empty the refrigerator. Being on the water a week was great!

Snowmobiling Paradise! Extremely clean facility and very warm and cozy. Rooms are very clean and nice. Food was very good but a tad pricy. Lactation is great for great riding and the trails in the area are fantastic! We will be back!!!

Great place to book a vacation. The best part is that many of their boats can be captained from the upper bridge, really lets you enjoy the time spent driving from camp site to camp site. I highly recommend Voyagaire!

We rented Jollie Jackie for a week and it was a wonderful time with beautiful scenery. Only downside was that we were unaware that you are not allowed to anchor the houseboat anywhere out in the lake. I wished that would have been on the website because we would have brought our pontoon to pull behind instead of the small fishing boat. They give you good instructions before you head out on your own.

Highly recommend Voyagaire Houseboats to explore the National Park. Our group rented 2 boats for 13 people ranging from 1 year old to 62! I would recommend this experience to any size group and for all ages. The staff at Voyagaire’s gave exceptional customer service!! Answering our many pre-trip questions, setting us up for success when boarding our boat and delivering anything we needed while on the water. If you want a camp like experience at the park but don’t want to fully camp, this is for you. Having the option to go inside with power, AC and fully functional bathrooms was a plus. We went swimming, fishing and had bonfires each night at our mooring sites. I can’t say enough good things about it. Book your houseboat now!

We stayed here for a couple nights while visiting Voyageurs National Park.We stayed at the lodge. It was very comfortable.The staff was very nice. The dining options are great.The grounds are nice and the views of Crane Lake are gorgeous.

Phenomenal service. You won't find better quality, service or intergity of ownership here. I personally overheard employees talking about how great the owners were. Never have I experienced a family owned company that worked harder to ensure their guests were happy. So then there's the price... The hospitality service was so low I thought it was a misprint. We're talking delivery of SCHWANS cookies and cream ice cream to our houseboat that is two hours away. Can't say enough about this place. You won't find better service for the price... We'll be back in the winter to check out the snowmobiles! Thank you Voyagaire!

Fantastic food, clean rooms, access to great guides to put you on fish! Friendly owners and staff. Make a point to try the homemade pizza.

We stopped here to eat and enjoy the beautiful view of Crane Lake. Their big tots were soooo good. We also had the smashburgers. Very tasty. We would definately return

Nice new lodge. Nice restaurant and bar. Good food.Where the Voyagaire really excells is in its service to its houseboat customers, WOW! Virtually any you need when you are out on the water can be brought out to you daily!As an added personal touch, on most nights, every houseboat is invited to participate in a friendly and entertaining trivia contest.

Super fun houseboat trip. Helpful staff and owner, and beautiful scenery. The houseboats are comfortable and able to fit lots of people and lots of stuff! We went with 4 other couples and had a blast.

Very professional team. Boats were great, made lots of memories. I would definitely recommend. It started with the night at the lodge. Very nice, clean, large rooms. Definitely stay in the lodge the night before for priority boarding. Ate dinner at the restaurant in the lodge. Very good food, decent prices, large portions. Houseboats were clean, and everything worked well. Best of all everyone was so friendly. They knew what they were doing and wanted to make sure we had a great time.

Stopped in for dinner. What a disappointment. The walleye fingers were nasty, no flavor except chalkyness. Only flavor was added tarter sauce. Went with the smashburgers and they were bland at best. Quite a disappointment from 2 years ago. Not sure if their cook had the night off, but definitely would not recommend. Next time we'll go across the bay to Nelson's resort - at least they have a better selection for food available. J.M.O.

Great place to stay on your visit to Crane Lake & Voyageurs National Park. Reserve one of their many house boats, stay in one of their beautiful Lodge rooms, rent one of their cabins and dine in their restaurant/bar. The most amazing staff adds to your visit!!

I love this place. The staff is super helpful at all stages of the trip and have always made me feel comfortable to take my family out into Voyageurs National Park. The hospitality service is amazing and helpful.

Just finished a week vacation on one of their houseboat and wow what a great experience for the entire family. We had motor issues the last 2 days and all of their staff went above and beyond to help us! One of a kind experience that I cannot recommend enough! Thanks for the great time.

Have been dinning here every year for 15 years. Went for breakfast today. Tater tots for hash browns. Sausage tasted like pig, could not even eat toast(tasted bad). So we’ll maybe just a bad morning. Tried dinner tonight, sat on deck. Only one other table full. Servers just kept waking by and cleaning tables, waited about 15 minutes and left. Do better

What can we say? What a well oiled machine this place is. From the lodge to the houseboats, to the staff. We had a girls trip here, rented a houseboat for 5 days. Absolutely a blast. The voyager national park was incredible. Would definitely stay again.

0/10 do not recommend. this has sadly gone down hill so much in the last few years. We used to go every weekend we were on the lake but we’ve now avoided it and Scott’s is now our #1 spot every time.At Voyageurs, food is all microwaved, no one knows who is in charge and getting a drink can take an hour. It’s just so clear the owners don’t care about the real or summer locals or who make crane lake so great.

Friendly staff. The beef stew and ceasar salad were amazing. A bit of line to fill up the snowmobile..Snowmachine, as the Canadians, in line call them! Easily 50 sleds when we left there. New hotel. Large bar/restaurant fits perfectly in our travels via snowmobile. Amazing lake and forest riding!
