People say the nicest things… 

“The Crank House is a real class act.  The place was super-clean and we were pleasantly surprised by all the extra perks like bike tools, bike lube and the workstand in the "Crank Shop". The furniture/ appliances were all very new and of higher quality than the usual rental.

                                               - James

“Nicely furnished.  Super comfy beds!  Well equipped kitchen.  Crank Shop Lounge is fun and is perfect for renters with bikes. Loved our stay."

                                               - Michael

“Great place.  Really well put together.  The shop space is an added bonus.  Safe storage for your bikes, plus a work stand, TV, ping pong and foosball.  Thumbs up!"

                                              - Craig

 

“The kids loved playing ping-pong.  It's a very short ride to the mountain biking trails and a short walk to Main Street and the lake/beach.”                            

                                               - Erik
