Great Snowmobile Stay
3 of us stayed there for a snowmobile trip. The cabin was great and the propert even better. Plenty of room for trailer and truck. Right on the trails which was amazing. Communication with host was also great.

Girls trip!
Beautiful place, well supplied, easy process. Did a lot of sight seeing in the area. Only issue it was hard to find in the dark, we came in a little later than we hoped. More outdoor lighting by the driveway would have been very helpful.

Last leg of a motorcycle trip
If it's not brand new, it sure looks like it is. Spotless and really nice. Great location for what we needed and was a great experience. I would definately recommend.

Cabin on the canal
The cabin is very nice, but the location on the parking lot really was minimized in the ad. Also neighbors thirty feet away did not give a feeling of exclusive getaway to the week.
