The place was pictured accurately. My biggest problem was bring my 2 wheel chair bound parents in the house.The ramp access was okay, slightly bigger where you need to turn would have been nicer. The bigger problem was maneuvering the wheel chairs through the sand /dirt to get to the ramp.We made it work though, you learn to find a way when using wheel chairs.

Peaceful

We had a wonderful time at this property. Some may call the property dated but we felt it just added to the ambiance of the whole place. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing!!! The home is large enough so that we were not all over each other. We would stay here again when we are in the area!!!

Our hunting group thoroughly enjoyed the property. Everything was clean, neat and we had everything we needed after coming in for an all day cold hunting day. Communication was on point and accommodating. I would highly recommend to anyone and will plan on staying again.

Affordable and Relaxing Getaway

Having a father who is sick and recently adding a few new children, my family/group decided to give up on tents this year and find something a little more accommodating to our needs. I found this listing and immediately booked it in March for the Fourth of July weekend 2017. I didn't bother the owners much, but I had a few questions that I would ask through the Home Away app. They always responded within 24 hours with an answer which made planning very easy. I didn't speak with anyone on the phone until a half hour before our arrival, but was pleasantly surprised when Pat answered and was very kind and welcoming. They both met us at the destination to show us around and give us some info. They stopped by the chamber of commerce and picked up a bunch of local information for us since we were out of town including the sale add from the local grocery store. They were very kind people and they were very inviting. There was a basket on the kitchen counter filled with everything you need to make Smores. The fire pit was filled with kindling and ready to go. Soon after they left i called to see if they had life vests for the paddle boat and sure enough... They did. They had them there, along with some reading for the kids within 15 minutes. There was 12 of us starting there. 8 adults and 4 kids. And there was plenty of room for all of us. The house was clean, a little dated, but exactly as you'd expect for an "Up North" house on a lake. The kids and adults all enjoyed themselves immensely. It was a perfect getaway. Especially for the price. I could keep going all day, but I hope to stay again soon. Pat and George were great house guests and I appreciate them sharing it with us.

Nice home in up north small town

Pat and George, Thank you both for a lovely home to stay in! The a/c was greatly appreciated, as it was so hot. Your guests will love it going forward! We were all very disappointed that we were told we could float out in front of the house in the lake, and that of course is impossible because of all the muck and lilies. The beach around the corner was nice, but it would have been nicer to just have been able to float right out front. Might we suggest a few things that would be beneficial to your bottom line? 1. Muck out a small area of the lake in front of the house and have some sand hauled in. Fishing AND swimming/floating would be a greater draw. 2. Assess and organize the kitchen. It needs a few basic items (i.e. knives- we bought some and left them for you, grill tools, etc) Patti wanted to reorganize it because the pots and pans were everywhere (and pretty beat up)- but your directions said to leave where it was 🤣! 3. The beds are heavenly (my hubby thought they were too soft), but the some of the sheets are pilling badly and need replacing. 4. Your deck needs the all the cobwebs/little dead guys brushed off. A lot of the solar lights need batteries or replacing. If those are switched on before the guests get there-what a lovely evening impression that would give! 5. Your backyard could be so beautiful. Perennial flowers and hostas would cheer it up and give it some color, and they come back every year which makes it easier on you. A perennial herb garden in the box you have there would be a lovely addition to guests that love to cook! During our stay there was a terrible storm while we were away from the house. When we returned, we found the house had lost power and the winds had taken the table umbrella and carried it over the house and it landed in the front yard and broke. Although it was in no way our fault, it was charged against the required renters insurance policy. Our suggestion is to weigh the new umbrella down so that can’t happen to future renters. We lost a/c for a while, flipped some breakers on the electrical board, and blew out some light bulbs, but other than that we all had a great time with family for Mom’s 90th Birthday. Please know that all of this comes from our hearts, and only to give you ideas on how to improve your cute home, as you asked us. We only met Pat, and know you are such wonderful people who want the best for your guests! Glenn and Patti Morrison William Gloria and Kathy

The house was clean, comfortable and great location on the water. Watch ducks and loons out on the lake. The bar in town has good food or you can go to freddies the gastation/market to buy groceries and cook back at the house.
