The property was very convenient for us during our stay. Check-in was easy and the place was very clean. The air conditioner did not work our first night, but the host got it replaced the very next day. Their quick attention to this was really appreciated.

Great location and nice loft for 1 to 4 people. Great location for hiking Ice Age Trail. Only surprises were lack of coffee maker filters (I was able to buy them at BP station very nearby, but generally provided by other hosts) and a tricky door lock for leaving the place locked which I eventually figured out. Probably can be fixed by host. But these are small matters....Otherwise a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

Convenient location on a main road. Near several good restaurants and above a small ice cream shop!We were there when it was very hot (beginning of July). The air conditioning could not handle the heat so it was very warm as the apartment is upstairs.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the convenient location, being close to several great restaurants, and having an ice cream shop right downstairs. We're sorry the apartment wasn't as comfortable as it should have been during your stay. Your visit happened during an exceptionally hot stretch of weather, and unfortunately the air conditioner struggled to keep up with the extreme temperatures. We wish we had known during your stay that it wasn't cooling adequately, as we would have done everything we could to address it right away. After our next guests also reported that the air conditioner wasn't working properly, we replaced the unit during their stay to ensure future guests are comfortable. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope you'll consider visiting again in the future.

We had such a great stay at this adorable cabin above Pike 55. The space was spotless, cozy, and exactly what we were hoping for. The bed was super comfortable, and the whole place had a warm, welcoming feel that made it easy to relax right away.Check-in was simple, everything was well set up, and the location was perfect. It was quiet, clean, and just an overall easy and enjoyable stay.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and charming getaway in Pickerel.

Clean, Well appointed except minimally effective AC. Super steep stairs. Do not recommend for those with limited mobility! Slanted ceilings in bathroom and bedroom caused head bumps for anyone over 5'8. Clean sheets but blankets had body odor smell. Only a few channels on TV. The AC was by far the most challenging. No ceiling fans. We had a floor fan to try to push the window AC air out into the main living area but it had been removed while we were out the first evening. We left about 15 minutes after arriving. We were contacted about running water from the shower flooding downstairs shop. The lady who contacted us was extremely kind and concerned. It was confusing however because upon our return we saw no evidence of any moisture on the floor or shower whatsoever. It is well suited for winter visitors in good health who plan on spending very little time in.

Thank you for your review. We would like to clarify a few points for future guests. This is a **budget-friendly loft at approximately $80/night**, and the steep stairs, slanted ceilings, layout, and A/C setup are clearly shown in our listing photos and description. Guests are encouraged to review these details before booking. The A/C was **replaced with a brand-new unit last month**, and we have not had ongoing complaints about its performance. Our blankets and linens are also cleaned and maintained using standard lodging practices. Regarding the shower, our cleaning staff did not leave it running. The property was checked before arrival. During your stay, the shower was found running and water was leaking through the ceiling into our business below. You mentioned by phone that you had needed to leave for the ER, which we understood was unexpected. The leak was significant enough that we had to hire a professional property management company the next day to assess and dry the ceiling, costing us approximately **$500**. We understand every property is not a fit for every guest, but many concerns mentioned here are clearly disclosed in our listing.
