This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and security deposit. We know security deposits are annoying, so to make it easier on you we have 2 options that you can choose between:

Option 1: Damage Waiver ($43) - Have a worry-free stay with coverage for up to $1500 for accidental damage (spills, breaks, mishaps) with no surprise charges. Just relax and enjoy your stay. Coverage up to 10 nights, +$3/day for longer stays, and provided by a third-party insurance company.

Option 2: Security Deposit ($1,500) - Refundable temporary hold that releases after your stay.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it's a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, well stocked, and well laid out. It is close to the lake for access and the location allows to get quickly into town while being in a quiet neighborhood. Communication with the host was excellent, prompt, and the information about the area/home was appreciated. Excellent stay!

Gaylord Fall Getaway

Sierra & Brendan’s home is amazing! Short walk to the lake. The home is extremely clean and furniture very comfortable. The beds have a heating feature which is a nice touch, there is also space heaters is each room (this helps since there is no vents in bedrooms). I would definitely would stay here again if traveling to this area.

Wow! Our host was so communicative and helpful. When the cleaning crew noticed that the refridgerator wasn't working correctly, we were immediately notified that they were working on the problem. We arrived to find a fridge that we could use until the other was fixed. Fabulous. The overall house was well equipped and perfect for what we needed. A great place to hang out and so close to the snowmobile trail. Highly recommend!
