Better than pictured
This property suited our group so well for cross-country skiing and hiking. Kitchen was completely stocked with all we needed. Beds were comfortable. Loved the skylight in the upstairs bedroom. The fireplace (with the push of a button!) made hanging in the living room cozy and warm. The house was immaculately clean. We also made use of the pool and hot tub at the club house. What a delight after skiing! We had a small problem with the door lock (make sure your group reads all the house rules) which was quickly fixed by the owners. The only downside was that the basement bedroom was a bit chilly for the couple down there. We loved it and hope to back!

Golf Vacation
Loved this home!! There were 8 adults and the house was perfect for our group. We enjoyed everything. It was a great location, close to golf courses, restaurants, stores and of course the wildlife. It was such a relaxing setting being tucked into the woods, but a few miles and you're able to get anything you need. We will be back! LOVED IT!

A beautifully kept home, with nature right out your back door, golf courses within 5 minutes away and the use of the clubhouse pool. We had 8 adults and did not feel as if we were on top of each other. It was unanimous that we would all be returning.👍👍

Annual Motorcycle Trip
Location of the house was in a quiet neighborhood. Loved that there were deer that came to the fence every morning and night. There was a wonderful back deck to enjoy. There was enough room in the house for 3 couples to have their own bedroom and bathroom. We were short in propane for the grill and when I contacted Nicki she responded and got us replacements right away. We’ve been in a few VRBO home in the last few years and this rates right up there! Our whole group was very happy with the accommodations. I especially liked the responsiveness of our host Nicki! She was the best!

Tranquil getaway
Peaceful, wooded property. We saw deer, wild turkeys along with birds and squirrels. Four large bedrooms were very comfortable. Kitchen, dining room and living room were open concept and great for family gathering. Spacious deck with lots of seating. Very clean, well-maintained house and yard. Great communication and check-in/out instructions were clear.

Clean and Comfortable
My family and I rent many houses and this one was one of our favorite! Very clean with plenty of space for lounging with family. Kitchen is well stocked with anything you need for a great homemade cooked meal. The gated backyard was perfect for my one and four year old to roam freely while the deer graze on the other side. Over all great time in a beautiful home!

Beautiful North Woods setting
Our group thoroughly enjoyed this lovely home in the woods. We traveled to the area for cross-country skiing at nearby Forbush Corners, and the location was perfect. The four bedrooms with large beds and 3 full baths worked well for our group of couples. We appreciated all the info the host gave up-front, including the amount of supplies (such as toilet paper and dishwasher tablets) which would be provided; that way we knew that we should bring a bit extra to be sure we were covered. We had a wonderful weekend here!

Nice Rental for the Most Part
This was a wonderful place, very spacious, beautiful setting, and very clean. One concern was an opening (~20” x 24”) in the upstairs bedroom wall right next to the bed that was open to the main floor . A child could stand on the bed and access the opening and easily fall to the main floor. It was a safety hazard for our granddaughter. Another concern was the eave trough that was placed on the concrete porch landing parallel to the bottom porch step. We had to step over the eave to access the bottom porch step. It was a tripping hazard especially after it snowed on the white-colored eave making it even harder to see the eave trough.

Great property!
We enjoyed our stay at this home! We went to Gaylord to ride trails with our ORV's. The house was clean and we appreciated the basic supplies you don't get at other properties. We will definitely rent this again. The only heads up us that there is no air conditioning but there were 3 fans to get us through an unseasonably warm weekend.
