Great location w/ Several Challenges
The property and its location were great for a group get-away. The house is larger than it looks in the pictures and easily accommodated us while staying for our rafting weekend. The large deck & living room and trail down to access the river were all big hits with our group and its a quick 5 minute drive to Northern Outdoors for our rafting trip.
There were several aspects of our stay that could have been better. First, we were left with very little propane for the grill. The tank ran out while grilling our 2nd meal (the replacement seemed to already be empty) and we had to send someone to the store (about 30-40min) and pay to replace it.
Second, we saw multiple mice in the downstairs kitchen and bedrooms shortly after arriving. A member of our group stopped to buy traps on their way and we caught 3 mice in a downstairs bedroom in our first night. While I understand that its a lodge in the woods and controlling mice can be a challenge, it begins to be a problem when they are getting into food and personal belongings.
Finally, the large propane fire pit on the deck was not working during out stay. The owner DID communicate this to us the day before our stay, indicating that it was damaged by previous guests and that he was waiting on a replacement part, but still disappointing for us, as it is a great space for larger groups to sit around a fire at night.
Overall, we still enjoyed our stay and Garret's property and would stay here again if presented the opportunity.
