Crane Cove
Vacation Cottage - De Tour Village, Upper Peninsula Michigan

Crane Cove is a comfortable, completely relaxing home away from home that has just been newly redone from top to bottom.  Your getaway is tucked off of scenic M-134 along a private gravel road.

Nearby are a dozen beautiful stretches of stunning beaches dotting the drive between Cedarville and De Tour Village, Michigan. Even in the middle of the summer on the most perfect of sunny days, you will pretty much have the beaches to yourselves. 
 

Your De Tour Village vacation home is directly on 200 feet of Lake Huron frontage, facing westerly for incredible sunsets.  After the sun goes to sleep, the stars come out to play.  The fireflies and dark skies are more feasts for the eyes. Binoculars will be waiting. 

Bring your boats, snowmobiles, ATV's, and also check out our page of various rentals and charters that are available in the area. 



The open yard allows for plenty of room to play outdoor games that you will find in the large two car plus separate garage.  On the lake side is a spacious deck for Lake Huron viewing  with plenty of cozy seating. 

With a maximum of six persons, everyone will find their favorite places.  Outside are a comfy swing for two, with a pair of Adirondack rockers around the lakefront stone fire pit.  Between this area and the deck is the bright blue hammock for two.  Up on the large deck is cushioned seating for four more and nestled to the right is an adorable L shaped lounger.

Enjoy the variety and ever changing setting with  lovely dense trees along either side.  Majestic Lake Huron frontage is stunning at every hour of the day year round.  Gaze out at the cove with its two islands, and watch the freighters glide by in the deeper waters of Lake Huron. 

Collect stones, gather and giggle around the new fire pit, and bird watch.  Eagles occasionally fly so closely over the house you can hear the flapping of their wings.

The night skies are so incredibly clear at Crane Cove. The big dipper glows brightly, and is so easy to see.
Spectacular sunsets are on display inside & out. Northern lights and stars galore shine brightly.
Pretty coves, island views, plus deep water and freighters
Crystal clear Lake Huron with rocks big and small
The long living room with Lake Huron views from both picture windows is practically two rooms in one with plush new carpeting.

​Stretch out on the comfy new sofa or matching loveseat.  Rock away by a big window on the one of a kind Amish made glider with ottoman.  At the other window, a pair of matching chairs await, with a pretty oval table for your favorite beverages tucked between.  

The large four seasons fireplace is home to a
55" 4K Roku Smart TV along with a Blu Ray and DVD player.

Off the hallway with three bedrooms is a convenient full bathroom.  This bath features a tub/shower combination with grab bar and a nautical striped shower curtain, plus hair dryer.  An initial supply of plush towels is included.

Weather permitting, please bring plenty of beach towels.  Water shoes will also come in very handy for the rocky beach at Crane Cove, although there are nearby sandy beaches and parks as well, along with a freighter viewing area and water front botanical garden.

The second large bathroom with a roomy shower with a built in seat is located off of the kitchen.  It is bright, spacious and filled with plenty of storage space, plus a second hair dryer.  It also contains a full sized washer and dryer plus a laundry tub. 

A bright blue sky day at the lake
Your open kitchen with new plank flooring is roomy, and is filled with all that you need.  There is plenty of cooking space and even a stainless steel prep table.

A new coffee pot, new Keurig, blender, portable mixer, bowls, casseroles, crock pot, baking dishes, muffin tins, cake and bread pans, plus dishes, glasses, silverware, utensils, cook books and everything in between is tucked away in the kitchen.

Lots of kitchen prep space
Crane Cove features comfortable sleeping for up to six persons in three bedrooms, each with ceiling fan, plus two bathrooms and a washer and dryer.

Please note that we now have Starlink broadband Wi-fi! Cell phones work pretty well in Crane Cove, but will fade in and out depending on your location in the upper peninsula.
The same thick new carpeting and dense pad has been installed in each of the bedrooms.  The front bedroom is the largest of the three, with a new high end memory foam queen mattress and nightstands flanking each side of the bed.  Besides the ceiling fan, this room does have an air conditioner. Your 40" LED Roku Smart TV hangs on the wall.  A large closet with luggage rack makes it easy to settle in. 

On the lakeside, are two more bedrooms.  The end room offers a second queen bed with another new high end memory foam mattress.  Matching nightstands, a wall mounted 42" HD LED Smart Roku TV, another large closet with luggage rack, and inspiring Lake Huron views round things out.

The smallest lakefront bedroom is cozy and snug with another comfortable new memory foam mattress on the day bed, plus a new pull out twin trundle memory foam mattress underneath.  A new 32" LED Smart TV and a DVD player hang on the wall.

The large bookshelf in the closet is filled with books as Crane Cove is the ideal spot to completely unwind and cuddle up with a good book. This room's closet also offers a third luggage rack along with plenty of storage space.

Plenty of fluffy pillows, quality linens, blankets and soft  comforters are in place in all three bedrooms.

Largest room with air conditioning and all the trimmings
