Decent place to stay
The stay itself was great. We had a couple issues, one with the outdoor fire pit, I had requested wood, so we could have a fire and the property manager was concerned about fire danger, when we arrived the wood was there but the fire pit had weeds 2 feet tall all the way around it. I notified her immediately and she said she would have it cleaned up so we could have a fire the second night of our stay, this was never done…so we never had a fire but we were expected to pay for the wood…which we did not. Hopefully they got the deck fixed also…

Snowmobile Trip
House was very nice and clean. The property owner made our stay as comfortable as possible. We rode snowmobiles rite from the house and had about 1 mile of road shoulder to the trail. There was just enough snow for us to ride shoulder. House was perfect for our snowmobile trip and would stay again. Thanks Heather!

Misleading
The property does not live up to expected VRBO standards. We found the listing misleading. The listing should clearly state that there is NO cable or internet, there are NO toiletries (bathroom soap, shampoo, simple things for sure but missed when not there) and there is a tenant living downstairs. Also we found it odd that throughout the unit (living room, dining room, bedroom) crafts were displayed for sale with a box clearly marked for payment. Lastly there was a long list of what the travelers couldn't do and what we needed to do upon leaving but not a word of welcome or a list of things to see or places to eat. Little things make a difference and leave an impression, unfortunately ours was not a good one.

Summer friends trip
We stayed here while we went atving for 4 nights. Lots of room, nice house with huge deck and room for 2 trailers to park. No TV, internet, grill, coffee filters or cookie sheets just an FYI. But we brought our own grill so it wasn't a big deal. The beds are a little worn, but we would definitely stay here again! Thanks Heather!

Big and clean
Loved the spaciousness! Huge comfy couch was excellent. Big tub for soaking was fantastic after skiing! List of amenities advertised includes wifi - there is no wifi or TV. Not a problem for us, but others should be aware. Bed was very soft, towels not so much, but the gas fireplace more than made up for those little things. Loved it!

Snowmobiliers caution
So to be fair we enjoyed the house its roomy and clean garage was nice for keeping snowmobiles inside however to get to the trail its like 2-3 mile ride down a very busy road and the other problem we had was no tv or internet thank goodness we were able to go to walmart buy a rokue and hotspot from our phones all in all nice place but wont stay again because of location to the trail
