Colonial on Crane: Hot tub, pet friendly, and boat dock included

Welcome to Colonial on Crane, a stunning southern colonial home perfect for family gatherings, reunions, or a relaxing weekend with friends. Nestled on the tip of Crane Lake within Buckeye Lake, this gorgeous home offers a tranquil waterfront setting with a boat dock just steps away. And with Crystal Beach within walking distance, you`ll have all the best of Buckeye Lake right at your fingertips.

While there is a small road separating the home from the water, Colonial on Crane offers unobstructed views and easy access to the lake. Enjoy peaceful mornings or evenings on one of the many decks or porches, taking in the scenic beauty of the water and surrounding area.

Step inside and be greeted by the stunning craftsmanship of this home, built by a talented cabinet maker. Boasting 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, 2 full baths and a pair of jack and Jill bathrooms with a middle shared shower room. Colonial on Crane offers plenty of space to comfortably accommodate your group.

The second floor features a master bedroom with an en-suite bath, as well as two additional bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath and a half. The entry level offers a full bath, while the lower level has an additional bedroom, a game room, and a poker room with a queen sleeper sofa.

The master bedroom is a true oasis, with a private kitchenette and a second-floor deck overlooking the water. It`s the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee or hot cocoa while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

On those rainy days, gather in the lower level game room for some indoor fun. Play a game of pool, try your hand at the arcade game, or challenge your friends to a game of darts or poker.

This is a beautiful house with lots of space for a big family, however it was not as well equipped as most places we've stayed (kitchen and cleaning supplies). It was also not completely prepared at check-in (laundry not done and full trash cans). The owners were, however, very responsive and addressed our concerns quickly. If they work out some of the kinks it will be a great place for a family getaway.

Great place for a family reunion!

The house was perfect for our family reunion. There were plenty of bedrooms and beds, lots of places to hang out on upper and lower decks, two nice living room areas on the first floor, and a great game room in the basement. So plenty of places to be together, but plenty of places for folks to find some quiet time. It's a 5 minute walk to a park area with a beach on Crane Lake, which the kids loved. And for those needing an urban escape, Columbus is short drive.

Amazing House in a Great Location

This house was beautiful, spacious, well stocked, and incredibly clean. We had a group of 9 staying here for a birthday weekend and it was such a great time, just steps away from the lake and close to all the attractions of the region. We had an initial issue with the wifi after checkin, but the host responded very quickly and we had service restored quickly. I would definitely recommend this property for large families and/or groups.

Home away from home

Just a group of friends away for the weekend to see the Solar Eclipse and this house was just perfect for us. It was a home away from home and my dream home. Rachel was wonderful to talk to and responded quickly to all my questions. The town is a quiet sweet town. I would highly recommend this listing.

Relaxation and Fun

Staying on the water is one of the best places to relax and yet have a lot of fun. This home offers the option to do both in the home and is close to fun on the water. We had the freedom to enjoy activities all together and in groups separately. The home is very roomy and comfortable, and the host is very responsive. It was a great weekend!

Outstanding Property!

We were doing our annual golf outing and decided to try a new location by playing courses near Buckeye Lake. There were 8 of us, all seniors. Colonial on Crane fit all of our needs and was near all of the courses we played. All questions I had were answered promptly by our host. If you are looking for a place for a large group or just a few friends, look no further. You will love this house!

Christmas on the Lake

Just a little disappointed in the actual location of this home, as it appears in the description that it is on the lake which it isnt, its across the street and you cannot look out and actually gaze upon the lake. Upon our arrival I was a little disappointed the stairs going up to the door were covered in snow and ice. There were no shovels or snow tools to remove it and it was a little dangerous taking my 88 yr old Mom up those steps. Later I found a broom and dust pan and used the dust pan to scrape the ice loose. When you walk into the house its a grand opening! Beautiful kitchen, living room and dining. The downstairs had everything from a poker table to pool table, games and two additional bedrooms. The upstairs was equally gorgeous. We did have a couple of mishaps, but the host was quick to send help to solve our problems. Loved this place as did my family as we all sat down to a great Christmas dinner and opening of presents. My suggestions: new dinnerware is needed. Presently the dinnerware is old and scratched up resin plates, bowls and serving bowls. The downstairs bathroom had no towels for guests, but we took care of that. There was only one large pot and one very small pan to cook with, I had to make one dish, wash the pan and repeat several times. No baking sheets, only two very old baked on pizza pans. There were some mismatched drinking glasses, but not enough for our 15 people to sit and eat dinner. We had to purchase our own trash bags.

Friendsgiving Trip Mostly Awesome

The property was exactly what we were looking for. It had lots of common areas, a nice kitchen, enough bedrooms. It is very updated and a perfect place to gather with a few families for a weekend getaway. The downside was it didn't have some essentials. The kitchen has almost nothing as far as pans, pots, serving bowls or 9x12 glass dishes, knives, cutting boards but has plenty of plates, bowls, silverware. The oven burns and sets off the smoke alarm as it is a convection oven and the microwave sitting above it is broken so no exhaust which was an issue. The firepit is gas as well as the grill. We had to replace the tanks upon arrival as there was no propane and we only had a 3 night stay. The house has a TV in almost every room which was awesome. The hot tub was perfect and lots of towels were provided for the hot tub as well as the house bathrooms. Some small fixes could make this house stellar: - broom in the house; only vacuum cleaner - cookie sheet, larger pans, some glass dishes to mix a salad or recipe together, cutting boards, knives that work - fix or replace microwave so there is an exhaust for the convection oven - screens in the windows!!! - add another bed or a more functional option in the master than the futon that is there now. Its tiny and super small. Another bed would go along way. Other than that - this place is pretty awesome.
