House could get more stars if the following were fixed

These were the deficits we encountered:1.Instructions for house entry were wrong 2.The microwave was very poor at heating3.The dining table only has three chairs 4.One upstairs bedroom blind had many missing slats - no privacy5.The shower spray downstairs was like needles and could not be adjusted6.There were no mattress pads on the beds7. The upstairs toilet had no toilet paper roller

The issues

Parked in the mud. Class V needed. First step coated in ice. Gutter needed. Scented laundry detergent drove allergies crazy. I’m pretty sure the furnace filter needed to be changed. My friend also had some sinus issues. Everything else was just fine. I would open all the windows and air the place out next time.

Ice fishing home base

My group recently stayed for an ice fishing trip and we had the best experience. The check in was one of the best I’ve had. House was clean and more spacious than I thought when booking. We thought we forgot a bag and the host was very responsive and helpful. Thankfully it was just tucked in a fish house…. Will be back here for sure!

Big place

It is a three bedroom, 2 bathroom house, recently updated, laundry, and a bigger kitchen. I was here on business with one of my colleagues in the winter and we didn't have problems. Communication with the owner was really good too.

Great place to hangout after a long day

I was disappointed to learn only one bedroom was on the main floor, but it was a large one and we were able to get the grandkids in there with us in there pack-n-play and cot. It was a great place, easy to find, where we could relax after a long day outside.

It is a small house that can actually sleep quite a crew. It was a perfect home base for my husband and our hunting dog for a few days. Lots of towels, kitchen is well stocked and we liked the location. Thank you!
