Disliked: Cleanliness
Not the cleanest. In bad shape. Lots of broken things. Too stuffy and hot to not have windows open but drunk of cigarette smoke from below if you did. I’m super sensitive to cigarette smoke. The windows were in bad shape. The shades were broken. The curtains fell down when I was opening them. The bed sheets are not clean. Found pet hair on them and other things. Pretty sure none of the smoke detectors are functioning. Over all the place is in a state of disrepair. Sorry. The location is great.especially if you are hiking the trail. But I didn’t love the apartment.

Awesome for Ice Age Hikers

My son stayed here as a reprieve from tenting it as he is through hiking the Ice Age Trail. He was very pleased with his stay and Laverne was so kind in her attentiveness to his comfort while he was there. If you need a place to stay while hiking, this is it!!

Great location!!

We had a great time in Cornell. It’s a cute little town with great amenities and restaurants. It’s very close and handy to Brunet State Park and next door to the grocery store. Our apartment was everything we needed. Be advised there are stairs leading up to it. Laverne was very responsive to questions and comments. Plan to stay again!
