The Hancock County Conservation Board is proud to offer three log cabins for rental at Crystal Lake Park as a perfect way to enjoy the comforts of home in a real log cabin! The cabins offer a special place to make lasting memories and enjoy the peaceful natural setting of Crystal Lake. Weather permitting, these cabins are available for rent from April 15 to November 15th by reservation. The 144 acre Crystal Lake Park is located one half mile north of Crystal Lake, Iowa. The park stretches along the East shore of the 260 acre Crystal Lake.
The main cabin shell and interior frame was constructed with quality Amish craftsmanship at the Hillside Log Cabin Company in Utica, Minnesota in 2006. Hancock County Conservation Board members and staff completed all of the interior carpentry and finish work in the winter of 2006-2007. The cabins were first opened to the public for reservations in the spring of 2007.
