Weekend get away..
The process was great until we arrived at the property. We did not get a code to open the property- I had emailed the host 3 hours before we left asking if we needed anything to get into the property- no response- all of the communication between me and the host was minimal at best. Once we arrived at the property- we had no wi-fi and had to go into to Townsend to get a signal. I (we) called the host over and over- we also contacted Vrbo- they had also reached out to the host with no answer- Vrbo was prepared to put us up in a hotel for the night after sitting at a gas station for almost 2 hours. The start of our vacation was not good. The accommodations were very nice. The lake was nice, close to many little towns. I did not appreciate the lack of communication for as much as we paid. I expected to have some type of communication after check out- nothing. Hosts didn't seem vested about our stay.

Sorry for the confusion. Internet is sometimes spotty in our rural area. I responded as soon as your messages came thru. I did speak to VRBO when they called but by then you were already given codes. I don’t normally respond when a guest leaves as they don’t usually want to hear from me. On my side there was only a 1/2hr delay according to text messaging/phone call time which was due to signal outages.

wonderfull time with my family
Great place to stay for the long weekend. It is a bit dusty and bathroom's door won't close but besides that all is good. Also, you need to take your garbage out yourself to the dump station but you need a tag to get in. We did not get a tag so we had to drag our garbage home with us...

Nice quite getaway
We enjoyed our time and the home was clean and stocked well. A few items need some TLC - bathroom door won't close, didn't see info. where to take the trash, bottom step to access the deck and entry door is soft and needs some support, lots of ants around the sink area, fire pit needs ashes removed and would be nice if more centered in the back yard.

Relaxing Weekend
Cozy cabin on a beautiful lake. It was the perfect space for our family of 5. The husband and kids loved waking up and walking down to the lake to fish, I loved the amazing view while sipping coffee. Based on other reviews and knowing lakes can be a bit weedy and mucky, we brought floaties for the kids to swim out on. The last night we could hear the loons calling out on the lake. Owners were responsive to any questions we had.

Awesome private cabin on the lake!
This was the perfect cabin. It is on a secluded lot and has its own pier. We brought our dog and he loved jumping into the water. The living room and kitchen of the cabin face the lake and have the most amazing views for breakfast and dinner! There is ample parking space. The photos posted are very accurate. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for cooking. Pillows are provided but bring your own bed sheets for queen/twin beds. We would totally stay again and had a great time.

Relaxing vacation
We stayed at the cabin with our teenage daughter and her boyfriend. It was very relaxing. We spent time fishing from the dock and enjoying a campfire. It was a very peaceful extended weekend.

Guest friendly
The 12 pictures you apply on your app need to be more about the place. You can not call that a swimming area by the pier for children or adults, it was terrible. Please post or take pictures of all the taxidermy animals. My wife is not a big fan of that stuff and it might scare small children. Charge a little more to supply yard games-firewood-lawn chairs,we had to stuff all that in our car to have a fun time.Sorry, we will not be back ):

Great “up north” cabin!
Great property; definitely encompasses the traditional “up north cabin” feel. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed.

A little slice of Heaven
The accommodations were wonderful. Fully stocked kitchen, it had everything. Really liked the gas stove & full size refrigerator. We brought our little boat and tied it up to the sturdy dock. The fishing was awesome. The large deck made for some relaxing late afternoons. The cabin has one of the best views on the lake. The loons are beautiful. Our host Carolyn was very accommodating and excellent communication.

LOVED the Lake Views and Serenity of the Cabin!
My husband and I and our family of older kids - college and high school, along with our dog LOVED this property! We loved the inside of the cabin and room for all of us to sit comfortably, but our favorite by far was being outside, enjoying the lake views and campfires. It ended up raining and being crummy for half of our stay which was a bummer, but we still enjoyed our short vacation on the lake very much!

Perfect Getaway location
The cabin was awesome. Nice and peaceful lake, quiet location, plenty of things to do in the area. I would definitely want to stay there again. Only catch I had that wasn’t an issue is the steepness of the driveway. If I had drove my sports car I don’t think I would’ve made it down the driveway. Had my truck so it was fine.

Not cleaned between guests stays
Not anything I hoped for. There is no area for kids to swim. There is a clearing between weeds but it's still muck. The bathroom was a disaster as well as carpets, not cleaned at all. I did notify upon arrival about my distaste. Was told handyman was just their, and I could leave. Nice location but filthy much less disinfected.

Nice place to stay, But if your a animal lover there is a lot of stuffed animals. I'm a animal lover. But we were outside most of the time. I would love to stay again, just wish there was a little row boat.

Great spot to relax!
The property is very relaxing and fairly private. Beautiful lake with a lot of wildlife - deer, ducks, bullfrogs, geese, and the loons did not disappoint at night! When I think of serene lake time, this is what I picture. If you’re intending to use the internet while vacationing, I couldn’t detect the signal. But for me, that wasn’t a problem. Beautiful place to book a relaxing vacation.
