Great for everyone!

We rented the large house along with all 4 smaller cabins for a family vacation. We had a great time! Perfect location for trail riding and easy access to town. We had rain on some days, but the entertainment room in the main lodge was just perfect! We enjoyed every minute of our stay! We had one of our guests forget an iPad and he promptly messaged me that it was left behind. Robert was very prompt in answering my messages and last minute allowed us to add an extra day for a few of the small cabins and arrive early. We would definitely rent again!

Great home for a family vacation

House was very clean and well stocked, plenty of room for 3 generations to hang out under one roof. Was not as secluded as the pictures made it to look, yard was a little tight for playing games. But the neighborhood was so quiet it was like we had the area to ourselves. Close to grocery and state parks. Everyone had a great time

Love the house

I almost hate to praise it because we want to be able to rent it every year, but the place is perfect. Enough room, nice outdoors space, enough bathrooms, well maintained and a property manager that gets back to you immediately if there is an issue. A gem.

Fantastic

We really enjoyed the property. The house is large and well layed out. We spent a lot of time playing pool and darts. We also enjoyed hanging out by the fire and my niece had a grand time running the tiki "bar". We had a few questions that the host was very quick in replying to. I was a little worried the bike club next door might get loud at night, but that was never a problem. Highly recommend.

Perfect place for large groups!

The house was very clean and spacious! I really appreciated the all the kitchen supplies, extra drink fridges in the game room, and plenty of bath towels. This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend of SxS riding. The trails weren’t too far from the house.

50th Birthday Celebration and SXS ride

This place was perfect! The house it self was set up perfectly, each couple had their own room, plenty of bathrooms and the space was great. The house was clean and stocked with the necessities in the kitchen. The large game room was perfect for all to hang out. A nice touch, in each bathroom the host had items just in case you may forget them such as tooth brush, lotion, Tylenol, etc. If the weather would have been warmer we would have taking advantage of the fire pit and gazebo. For our trip with SXS, the host has maps if needed, however the trail is not too far from the house. First day we rode to Hillman for dinner, trails were great. Saturday we rode north to our destination to Ocqueoc waterfall. Trails were great, waterfall was worth the trip. Overall the house was excellent, we all plan to book again.

Memory Making for our Family

Our family gathered for a long fall weekend and found the house perfect for a large group. Everyone had their own bedroom and there was plenty of space. The children enjoyed playing games with the grown-ups and running in the yard. The adults enjoyed the game room and the firepit. The kitchen was large enough to share the cooking and baking. The house had space for quiet conversation while others laughed and shared game time. Trail riding was close by and enjoyed by all. The weekend was memory making at its best! Check in was easy and convenient. Communication with the Owner was also easy with quick response. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Home

This house was perfect for our family holiday trip. It was our 4 daughters, their spouses and 4 grandchildren and we still had extra space. Our first family holiday trip was a success. This house had everything. Lots of space, plenty of bedrooms, extra blankets, lots of towels, extra supplies in the bathrooms, he even had a decorated Christmas tree. My grandson was obsessed with playing air hockey all weekend. We all wanted to stay longer. This house would be perfect for both winter or summer trips. The town has a couple of good pub/bars and you have to check out the local grocery store Freddies. HIGHLY recommend.

Christmas gathering

Highly, highly recommend this place!! This place was perfect for our family of 8 adults & 1 child. The kitchen was big enough to cook meals, the bedrooms more than accommodated our needs, plenty of restrooms/ showers, we utilized both game rooms and in the middle of the worst snow storm we were plowed out in a timely manner. The host took care of us, communication was great, and he anticipated our needs before it became an issue. It was an unanimous vote that we want to make this place our yearly vacation spot!! Thank you Robert, for everything.

We stayed at this property to celebrate a family Christmas with all the aunts, uncles and cousins. The space was big enough to give everyone some space and the gathering spots were a perfect size, large enough to hold everyone. We played a ton of games and had a ton of laughs. We definitely would consider staying here again! The only thing we would change is more lighting in the kitchen.😊 Thank you for giving us a space to create some wonderful memories!

Adult Getaway - SXS Riding

Our group of 10 chose this place because of its proximity to the ORV trail system. It did not disappoint! The rec room/bar area was plenty big enough for us to enjoy and play pool, cards and darts. It does not have central air but the window air conditioning units kept the main floor and upper floor rooms very comfortable. The basement however was almost too warm. The outdoor area is very large-and beautiful at night. We all agreed that we’d rent it again if we were back in that area.

We had an amazing weekend with our family in the cabin. It was a beautiful place for our small backyard wedding ceremony in front of the gazebo. Plenty of room for reception space and the fire pit with string lights and bar was the perfect night time spot. The owner is extremely accommodating and helpful.

I Have been searching for the perfect place for friends and family s to spend quality one on one time together and create some of those unforgettable moments that are so rare now a days. Book today and create some moments that last a lifetime and beyond.
