Great for snowmobiling
We love visiting this farmhouse for snowmobiling. Great access to the trails and very home feeling environment.
Overall we had a great stay! Beds/bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen size was nice for cooking. We had 3 adults and 4 kids (7-14) staying, and only having one bathroom was tricky sometimes! The cell booster helped, but we would have liked WiFi access. Appreciated having a quiet, secluded place to unwind at the end of each day!
The house was very clean with plenty of supplies and extras. It was very comfortable & cozy. It is located in a very rural, peaceful setting--absolutely beautiful in the snow! I would definitely recommend it! It is exactly as the listing describes.
Our stay was very enjoyable for a UP getaway. The cell phone reception is 0-1 bar even tho the listing says it’s great with the booster. The property is very beautiful hay fields in the backyard. The sauna is not clean with lots of bugs and webs so this was not used by our group. Overall we enjoyed our stay but I do think the photos need to be updated for the condition of the sauna and maybe some photos during the summer of the outdoor area.
