Cozy, comfortable, convenient, great stay

Seven guys one bedroom, how is that going to work. Everyone in our group was questioning my judgement. It worked out great, everyone had their own bed, very comfortable and having one bathroom was not an issue, plenty of hot water. We were up snowmobiling, so coming home and having a large area to unwind was great, easy sleding right out the door. The kitchen was well equipped lots of pots and pans.

Very clean, cute, and convenient. Just a short drive for us to ice skate, downhill ski, and cross country ski in the area. We made all our meals and the kitchen had all the items we needed. Would stay again next time we are up in this area!

We had a blast! 2- 68 yr olds, 2- 40 yr olds, 5 kids 12-18 yr olds. Sleeping was cozy and we all got a kick out of it. We made jokes of it feeling like “The Waltons”….”goodnight JohnBoy”….We’d definitely stay there again!!!

Up for a ski speed camp weekend

House was very close to the Snow River ski area. Nice and convenient to the town of Wakefield with gas and a Dollar general. Also the bakery has very good donuts, and pastys. Our first time to the UP and first time using a VRBO. Nina the host was very helpful with our questions. And even allowed a late drop of one day with a refund. This was due to the plan of bringing our snowmobiles but NO snow. The neighbor was very nice too! Hearing his stories makes me want to come back next year with more snow! House is updated and clean with everything you need.

Cute and clean

This little lodge worked well for our needs for our family of 7 for a Monday-Friday stay. The house was clean, comfortable and affordable. It was important that we had a wi fi connection that was reliable and we were pleased that our son was able to log in for work purposes. He didn’t have any connectivity issues. The nearby town had a great bakery and a cute locally sourced gift shop. We recommend both! As we were there in summer and weren’t in area to ski, we spent our time taking day trips between 30 min to one hour+ away from the house. This house would really be ideal for the winter visitor as ski destinations are close by, but it worked out well for our needs and we would stay here again.

Ski Race Weekend

This is a quiet old mountain mining cabin outside of town. It is well insulated and warm. We were in town for 4 days of ski racing and it was perfect for me and my son. We brought our own radio, cooked great food, and skied hard. The last night we went to El Tarasco and it was good. Cabin,:great comfortable downstars. You could fit 8 people easy on seats around the days video on tv. Upstairs is a loft like room with one main queen bed and two twins. In various old remodeled closets and rooms are many other really comfortable looking beds, just a bit tougher to get into. You could fit a good crew of 5 buddies here or many more families and kids that can share a space. Thanks to the owners.

Cozy Cabin

Cute, clean little spot! The upstairs is all one open space with 6 beds- one super comfy Tempur-pedic queen, There are three other queen mattresses and two twin beds. Everything we needed, property was always plowed quickly and well maintained. Only bummer was the tub as there was only enough hot water to fill up 1/4 of the way- totally unusable- but the shower worked great. Otherwise, it was a great spot for our family!

Winter Getaway

This is a cute little house! First, I would like to say how much we appreciated the driveway being cleared daily and even multiple times a day if needed. Another big thing for us is bathroom cleanliness - this bathroom was very clean and nice. This is a very cozy and nice place to stay. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Great stay at what we will affectionately refer to as the ‘Wakefield Bunkhouse’! We were in town with our teenage sons to ski Big Snow and it was just right for us. Clean, well equipped and quiet. Owners were great to work with as well.

We traveled to the area for a USSS ski race. Great location. Clean and functional dwelling. Sleeps many people in a dormer type setting. Similar to a hotel room. Wifi and cable or satellite TV would be nice. However, we had good phone reception.

Why they chose this property

This property is set up for families, but is equally comfortable for couples or friends wanting to stay together for some time away. It's fully furnished and all furniture and bedding is new within the last year. It feels like Home and we know you'll love it! You're nearby town, but yet close to the wilderness. Great cell phone service that's proven/tested with Sprint, Verizon, At&t and US Cellular. We're sure other networks work well too.

What makes this property unique

In the Heart of the Snow Belt! Very close by to Ski resorts, UTV trails, snowmobile trails, fat bike trails, waterfalls, lakes for ice fishing, and premiere cross-country skiing trails. We have local attraction guides available at the property to help make your stay memorable!
