Perfect Getaway

We stayed for a last minute long weekend. Everything was perfect and clean. The host left us a great welcome package and left many thoughtful goodies. It was during TipUp so it was great overlooking tge lake and watching the snowmobiles. We will definitely be back.

Exceptional host

Our “usual” Vrbo in the area was booked and we luckily found this listing. Communication with host was awesome. Property was definitely a home away from home. Cozy, quaint, clean and a great location. Very friendly and quiet neighborhood. Host was extremely accommodating. We will surely book this property again!

Great place to watch the sunset !!!

It was great that they left a gift card for a pizza, and the snacks for us and our dog. The neighbors were great and it was quiet and peaceful there. The only things we were not impressed with were no lights worked in the kitchen area, except the stove light. It was a bummer that there was no screen on the doorwall or the one bedroom window, so we really could not get a good cross breeze in there. I also never received a phone number to call the owners and got use to always getting a number when we have booked through here. I had sent a message asking if we could check in earlier and never received a response. I have always been able to do that with the rentals, just not this one.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The house was cute, clean and very well equipped. Host was very responsive and friendly. Property very pet friendly with fenced backyard. The only drawback we experienced was the local and street fireworks all weekend (over 4th of July) was very very loud so beware if your dogs are sensitive to this, or if you have PTSD.

Wonderful weekend away!

My husband and I booked a long weekend to visit family and this place couldn't have been better! It was clean, warm, welcoming and everything we wanted in a home away from home. Our host was wonderful and they had any/all little extras you could possibly need!

Houghton cabin

I stayed at this cozy clean cabin over Labor Day weekend with my family. The cabin was close to the boat launch. There were breathtaking views of the sunsets and clear skies for viewing the stars at night. The host went above and beyond supplying snacks and coffee firewood and much more!We didn’t lack anything on this trip.

Home away from home

Great place to stay, host made us feel at home! We loved the extras that was provided from the variety coffee to the snacks and of course the games. The view you get at Sunset is breath taking, you won’t want to miss it! The home is warm & welcoming from the time you walk in, close to town if you need something! The beds are super comfy! We will definitely be back to this little place. The neighbors are very kind as well. Great place and great hosts, they went above and beyond to make sure you felt welcome!
