host was easy to contact with questions. The basket of snacks in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathrooms was a nice bonus. Beds were extremely comfortable for the whole group.

Fabulous hosts. Great communication. The property is perfect for pups and two levels of living space. The spacious deck was so nice to spend time outside and keep the dogs in a safe place.

The hot tub was excellent! Clean and very relaxing. Loved the area for the dog , it was extremely accommodating! The only negitic thing was the amount of pine beetles and flies in the home . However, we realize the home is in a wooded forest and these things are bound to happen!

Cozy house with great amenities and lovely location

Our family (5 adults) stayed for 3 nights and loved the experience! The kitchen was well-stocked, there were 2 TVs and plenty of board games, and a clean and easy to use hot tub! The hosts were so communicative and helpful, and the location was just beautiful (a small neighborhood on a hill overlooking a forest on one side and a small town on the other). The listing did say there were 4 bedrooms, but the house only has 3, in addition to an air mattress.

The location of this place is amazing! It's near everything we wanted to see/do but tucked away so you felt like you were away from the busyness. The home accommodated 4 adults, 2 dogs and a cat! The kitchen was perfect for all the cooking that we did as well. Finally, the view from the deck was spectacular! We had daily visits from turkeys, deer, woodpeckers and the sweet doggies next door. We spoke with the owner a few times, he's very near, and mentioned that we will probably rent it again for a Sturgis Rally trip.
