Awesome Spot! Hot tub full and hot. House was preped and had everything we needed. Only thing i would ask for is the check put list being sent the day prior to check out instead of after we had already checked out.
The house was lovely. Newly redone throughout. Stocked kitchen. Comfy. Nice hot tub and deck area. Plenty of room for trucks and trailers. Only issues, oven was a bit finicky and out of gas for grill. We worked through it. Overall great stay.
We stay here every year for a ski trip and it is always very clean! The hot tub is great after a day of skiing and the rental has everything that you'd need!
Property was in a very peaceful setting during the summer close to fishing, golf, and a short drive to many other attractions. Modern amenities ensure all the comforts of home for adults and children. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the Western U.P.
This home was the absolute best one we've ever rented and we've rented many. It is an updated home with everything you will need. Comfortable, roomy well stocked. We had a mini family reunion and were able to comfortably accommodate numerous people for an evening gathering. We highly recommend this property.
Really enjoyed our stay. Nicely remodeled house well thought out wet room area upon entrance. The place had new appliances and a well stocked pantry with staples and cookware. Beds were all comfortable and the hot tub was wonderful. No issues with check in or check out and good communication. Great Place!
We so enjoyed our stay at your Vrbo. Everything was excellent, very clean, and great Customer Service. Would definitely come here to stay again and would refer to others.
Thank you so much!

We had never stayed at a VRBO. This by far exceeded our expectations. This cozy house in a quiet neighborhood couldn’t have been a better experience. This house is so clean and comfortable. It has absolutely everything we needed. We could definitely stay here for a long time and be very content. The service was great also. We had an issue with the dishwasher and our maintenance man responded right away and was there the next morning. He was very friendly and helpful. I could go on and on how great this property is and how well you’ll be taken care of. We loved the quiet, rural neighborhood. It was exactly what we were looking for. The hot tub was definitely the icing on the cake each evening. We will definitely be back here in the future!
This was one of the best VRBO’s we have stayed at! Great access to snowmobile trails and the house has everything that you need and then some! Very well equipped and the beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. The hot tub was an added bonus after a long day on the trails. We will definitely stay here again. Dean has thought of everything! Thank you for a wonderful get-a-way!
Perfect getaway location. Close to the softball fields that we came to play in a tournament at. Beautiful house and the hot tub was awesome after days at the field.
Loved this property! It was even nicer than the pics. It was easy check in and out, easy to find and was stocked with all the accessories one could need. Definitely would come to this here again while visiting family.
