Ice fishing home base

My group recently stayed for an ice fishing trip and we had the best experience. The check in was one of the best I’ve had. House was clean and more spacious than I thought when booking. We thought we forgot a bag and the host was very responsive and helpful. Thankfully it was just tucked in a fish house…. Will be back here for sure!

Would stay there again

It is a small house that can actually sleep quite a crew. It was a perfect home base for my husband and our hunting dog for a few days. Lots of towels, kitchen is well stocked and we liked the location. Thank you!

Great place to hangout after a long day

I was disappointed to learn only one bedroom was on the main floor, but it was a large one and we were able to get the grandkids in there with us in there pack-n-play and cot. It was a great place, easy to find, where we could relax after a long day outside.

The issues

Parked in the mud. Class V needed. First step coated in ice. Gutter needed. Scented laundry detergent drove allergies crazy. I’m pretty sure the furnace filter needed to be changed. My friend also had some sinus issues. Everything else was just fine. I would open all the windows and air the place out next time.

Perfect for what we needed

A few friends and I were looking for a place to stay in town, close to downtown while we were in town fishing. This place fit the bill. Plenty of space for us 4 and location was excellent. The house was clean and tidy, and has one bedroom and a bathroom on the main floor and 2 bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom. I would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

The upstairs toilet had no toilet paper roller
