We greatly appreciate you staying with us and for the kind review! We do hope you book again soon!
The most thoughtfully furnished VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! Clean as a whistle, too. We had a great stay! Plenty of trailer parking for all of our snowmobile trucks and trailers…and right on the trail!!

We are very happy to hear everything went soo well! Yes, we believe we have one of the best set up rentals in the area for snowmobiles. Our location and set up is prefect for folks coming up to snowmobile, ice fish, or go skying etc. Thanks for staying with us! We hope you come back next year!
Gorgeous property! We had a great weekend getaway here. Everyone had so much fun even in the off season. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed! Tons of fun activities, clean, and amazing communication. Once you book there were super awesome videos to reference and aquaint you with the property! Despite our cold temps, we still used the grill and amazing outdoor space with a beautiful sunset. Everyone in our party highly recommends this property!

Thank you soo much! We greatly appreciate you staying with us for the ice fishing tournament and hope you come back next year!
An incredible property! Not only is the space beautiful, full of light and a perfect get away that can house many, it has every amenity you could desire. Communication was also seamless and friendly! A all around! We had four families stay for a winter wonderland vacation. Skated on the ice, cozied up by the fire, cooked and ate together and played games, pool and darts downstairs. A great place for families and friends to gather!

We are soo glad everything was a great fit for your group! Thank you for staying with us! We have had some great groups come up for winter fun this season! We hope you come back soon!
Loved having the large open great room that opened onto the deck and overlooked the lake. The flat area in the yard worked really well for volleyball (which we all love). And the lake was great for cruising and tubing!

We are soo glad everything worked out for your group! We also agree the huge deck overlooking the lake is an amazing view! We hope you come back again soon!
Excellent host. Replied promptly as needed. Lots of information and videos before arrival. Beautiful newer lake home. Plenty of amenities. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms worked out great. Walked on the Paul Bunyan Trial right outside the door. Fantastic kitchen. Watched movies and the Winter Olympics on big screen TVs. Enjoyed the large deck, and the firepit outside. Might return next year. Thanks Mike for all your work in making this another great winter Getaway.

Thank you Steve! I am glad everything went well for your group and do hope you make this home your groups yearly winter retreat!
Beautiful property. Grandkids especially enjoyed the beach and shallow water. Caught lots of smaller fish. Loved the location and activities nearby. Mike was easy to reach and readily available. Check in was extremely easy and the home layout was great for 12 people. Bedrooms were very nice and comfortable. Kitchen was excellent. The island gave us lots of space for preparation. Downstairs refrigerator was a wonderful addition for beverages.

Dawn, thank you for staying with us! We are soo glad this place worked out well for you and your family! I agree the layout of this home is perfect for family like yours to get together and make memories!
We stayed at this location for 3 nights over Labor Day weekend and honestly this was the best we have been to.The property itself is beautiful…extremely high quality inside & outside, and every little detail was thought through. The night lights on the stairs were such a nice touch, there was even a clock projected on the ceiling. Tons of games to keep us busy too…croquet, pool table, bean bag toss, darts. Kayaks were ready to go along with lots of life jackets which made it super easy to enjoy the lake.The location couldn’t be better. It is right on a gorgeous lake, literally steps from the Paul Bunyan trail, and even a hiking spot just by the house. Having a grocery store and gas station close by was really handy.We were a group of 8 and there was more than enough space. Loved the heated garage and the overall attention to detail. The host was quick to respond but honestly we didn’t even need to ask many questions since everything was so well set up.
