This remodeled older home was in a great location right in town. Walkable to restaurants and big Stone Lake. It was very clean, but also pet friendly, which made it great for our pheasant hunting weekend.

Would stay there again

It is a small house that can actually sleep quite a crew. It was a perfect home base for my husband and our hunting dog for a few days. Lots of towels, kitchen is well stocked and we liked the location. Thank you!

We've stayed there for three years straight. Each year the property is a little worse for wear. It is clean, just getting worn.I was disappointed that there was no frying pan in the kitchen. That made making meals quite difficult.I would recommend this property to others.

Great place to hangout after a long day

I was disappointed to learn only one bedroom was on the main floor, but it was a large one and we were able to get the grandkids in there with us in there pack-n-play and cot. It was a great place, easy to find, where we could relax after a long day outside.
