About this property

Direct Trail Access!

We just completed the remodel on this beautiful 3 bedroom one bathroom cabin. Two bedrooms feature queen size log beds and one bedroom has two full size beds. Comfortable living room with a 50" tv. Turn on the gas fireplace to warm up after a day of snowmobiling. You will fall in love with the view from the deck, overlooking the Turtle River.

You can park your vehicles in the driveway and ride your snowmobiles 1/2 a mile to the trail.

The basement is under remodel and is not available for rent at this time.

Great cabin close to trail

The cabin served us well for our snowmobile trip of 4 adults. It was close to trail 8. The cabin itself is in a beautiful setting. It is fully stocked with anything you would need. We will definitely be back.

Trails Access

Accommodations were great! It was out a bit more from Mercer than we thought but not bad One issue was the trash You are responsible for taking out the trash to the transfer station (which alot of VRBO's have you collect your trash) But you have to buy a sticker at a list of places then take to transfer station But the hours that the transfer station is open are not to helpful at all Wed was till 1:30 (we were still on the trails) and we checked out on Thurs am ( transfer station was closed! ) So we brought our trash home with us! Not really what we wanted to do!

Family four wheeling trip

This was our fourth time staying at this house. Once in the winter and three times during the summer. We have always been happy to stay here. We were a little disappointed this last time, due to the fact there was an issue with not being able to access internet. Never had an issue with the internet the other three times. Even the time during the winter when there was a snow storm. They have provided DVD's, but nothing for children. So, if anyone is bringing children along, would highly recommend bringing along DVD's for children. Also, the tub is very slow at draining, and the water sits in the tub. I did leave a note for the cleaning people, hopefully they are able to take care of the tub issue.

Family Vacation

We had a great family vacation! The property was perfect for our two families. We enjoyed hanging out and spending time together and exploring around the area. Kari was easy to work with and quick to answer the couple questions we had! This was our second stay and would definitely stay again!

Vacation/ trail riding

The property is in a nice location, close to trails and town. The inside of cabin was very nice. But unfortunately there was no wyfy and unable to get any cell signal and no tv.the cabin has no curtains on the windows the back sliding door is a messed up and difficult to figure out. The lawn cutting service came the day we were leaving at 6am. Nice... With them cutting the grass and getting all the bugs all out made loading up a big pain. Also having to get rid of all my trash? I never heard of that before . I had to pay 3 dollars for a sticker and take it to town, and the redemption center just happens to be closed on Thursday... So there are a lot of things that could be fixed to make it a perfect place.

Another awesome stay around the area. Hospitality is second to none. Easy check in/out process and great quick communication with the host. We weren't able to snowmobile this year, but had a blast on the UTV's. Thanks for a great stay!

Very nice place

Place was clean and the trail location was great. Only 2 comments as far as improvements they could make are a window covering over the window in the shower and there was a sewer smell when you walked in the house. The basement is being remodeled and the smell was coming from the bathroom area. Little water in the drains would fix it. All in all, great place with a beautiful view out the back and very quiet. This will be an even better property once the basement remodel is completed!

UTV Trip

Overall the stay was good! Very nice cabin in the north words. We did notice that the dishes looked like they haven’t been cleaned throughly, they were greasy and we had to rewash before using. It also did not seem like things such as the counters and table/ chairs had been wiped down since the last stay. The bedrooms were very clean along with the bathroom. Thanks again!
