'''Cranky's Cabin''', titled '''[[Cranky's Hut]]''' in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], is the home of [[Cranky Kong]]. It is made out of a barrel, with an opening carved in the side for an entrance. The building has a stone-coated metal roof, which a long chimney stems out from. A neon sign of the [[Nintendo]] logo is hanging above the entrance, and a [[Giant Banana]] is sitting to the left of the cabin. Located to the right is a large crate appearing to be a [[animal crate|Rambi Crate]], on which a silhouetted emblem of [[Rambi]]'s face is printed. There is an official artwork showing Donkey Kong and Diddy at Cranky's Cabin. It appears to be during the evening, as evidenced from the orange sky. Instead of a Rambi Crate, the scene shows a crate reading "2L84ME" (too late for me) in red text. This text was later included on the [[Barrel Cannon]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

Cranky's Cabin first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as an optional location that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can visit to hear Cranky's advice, usually regarding [[animal token]] and [[bonus room]] locations in the first [[world]], [[Kongo Jungle]]. Regardless of the current [[world]], Cranky's Cabin is surrounded by jungle foliage. In addition to his advice, Cranky lives up to his name by complaining, often breaking the [[fourth wall]] in the process. He constantly whines about how the games from his glory days (such as the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'') were much better than the newer one. Cranky makes other complaints such as over modern graphics, which he deems as too bright and colorful, or his swaying beard being a "waste of frames" from the game's end.

In the ending, after the [[Kong]]s defeat [[King K. Rool]], they take a trip to Cranky's Cabin, where the elder will congratulate them, and comment on whether or not they found all of the bonus rooms in the game. Afterwards, he will tell the Kongs to return to the banana hoard, so they can see that it's been replenished.

Occasionally, Cranky says he would invite Donkey and Diddy indoors but the game cannot allocate the memory allowing him to do so. Ironically, in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Cranky's Cabin takes place indoors, and it now features new background details referencing other Rare games. The mask of [[jiggywikki:Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo Jumbo]], a character from the ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series, is lying on Steel Barrels right outside the screen. The decapitated head of Sabre Wulf, the main villain of ''{{wp|Sabreman}}'', is mounted on the cabin's wall, next to the entrance. Sabre Wulf does not appear to be dead because his eyes continue to blink in spite of his decapitation. To the left of Sabre Wulf's head is a framed picture above a television set with a flashing static screen.

Cranky's Cabin makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' in the [[smashwiki:DK Island (World of Light)|DK Island]] subarea of the [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], which in itself is a recreation of the [[Kongo Jungle]] world map from ''Donkey Kong Country''. Cranky Kong's [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] is fought in this location.
