This was a beautiful, clean property. The owners were prompt with communications, and quick to resolve anything. The house was as listed and in our opinion, better than the pictures. We had a very short stay but would love to return in warmer weather to enjoy all of the amenities of the community.

Michael and Ashleigh were great hosts. Super friendly and very available and attentive. Our family of 14 came to celebrate the 30th birthday of our twins! The kids all went snow tubing and sledding and we enjoyed having a fire outside and just enjoying the fresh air!! Such a great time!! Can’t wait to come back!!

This house is great, tons of space for groups. Needs a deep cleaning and there is a lot of damage to areas. The air hockey table is not working and the soccer table needs a ball. Pool table has multiple sets of balls but not a complete set of solids and stripes. Fire pit was unusable and damaged. Lots of switches on walls that do not appear to actually work anything. Location is amazing! Will definitely book again but hope these issues are resolved.

The house was bug for my family. Game room was very entertaining for the kids, being on the lake was the most awesome weekend we did ice fishing. Kids sledded on the ice. We met lots of people. The host were always very responsive and getting back to us with questions that I had. The only negative I have to say is that the house is very dirty. It needs a thorough cleaning in all rooms. The oven was very dirty also

This place was awesome! We enjoyed it with various friends, and the house had a lot to offer. There was a nice hot tub, fire pit, and plenty of things to do downstairs such as Billards, and air hockey. It was cool to see that they also had an old pay phone too to add to the ambiance. There was a power outage during our stay but Michael communicated swiftly about it. Thanks again!

The house is very nice and is perfect for large groups. The bedrooms were very nice and clean but the bedrooms and house needs better lighting. The kitchen could use some better drinking glasses and had no wine glasses or teaspoons. we were out most of the time but the air hockey table was broke so kids couldn’t play
