Facowie (pronounced Fa-cow-wee, named after a lost Indian Tribe) Lodge is a wilderness retreat is located just Northwest of Buyck right off the main thoroughfare of Crane Lake Road approximately 5 miles before the town of Crane Lake.

This two-unit home (this unit Grand Lodge, VRBO listing 4553868 and the other unit Loon Lodge, VRBO listing 4544341, can be rented separate or combined for a larger group) is beautifully situated over a small tranquil lake called Kabustasa right across from Echo Lake. It is a very peaceful setting without all of the hustle and bustle of a large resort. The lodge is set up for accommodations for the outdoor enthusiast, family vacations or business retreats.

Both lodges are set up as two bedroom units with one having a larger living area. They are both tastefully decorated in a Northern Minnesota style and nicely furnished with an "up north" theme. They can each easily accommodate up to 4-7 people and an adjoining door can be opened up to accommodate larger groups. The lodge is angled so that is has a full view of the small picturesque lake and has some gorgeous sunsets to the west across the lake.

The area is filled with many outdoor adventures and activities to do. There are many types of adventures that can be found in the area, including hiking, site seeing, boating, blueberry picking, bird watching, wildlife sightings, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, 4 wheeling and the list goes on!

Google Earth is a great program that allows you to zoom from the sky to have a bird's eye view of Kabustassa Lake and see the beautiful area surrounding Facowie Lodge. This is a free download software package that allows you to the terrain and all of the lakes. Our Lodge is located right off of a paved highway so it is easily to locate and very accessible.

Host profile image
I have been enjoying the Crane Lake area since I was first introduced to it by in 1977 with my first deer hunt. I have since learned all of the beautiful outdoor benefits that this area has to offer including boating, hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, ATV'ing, hunting and list goes on....

I developed the concept of a rental lodge during a stay in the area and purchased the land in December of 1995. My background is in Property Management (own and manage apartment buildings all over MN) so I created a premier rental that I could manage from where ever my location. It is set up for outdoor enthusiasts, family vacationers or business retreats.
