Property is was clean, spacious, cozy and the outdoor area was very nice. Close to town and great hiking all around. The house did have a lot of personal items all around like food in the fridge, hygiene items in the bathroom that did not make it feel like a rental property. Overall we had a good stay.

We had 4 generations in our group and everyone was happy. Gary was an excellent host. The property was wonderful and the swimming off the dock was great. Kayacks were great! Well set up. Thoughful little extras available if needed, example wasp spray etc. (Didnt need though). Lots of firewood to use. Beds were comfortable! Great place!

We had a fabulous time at this place on the river/lake. We jumped off the pier to swim, went fishing from kayak and boat rental, paddle board, ate dinner at local restaurant, enjoyed campfire and played cards in evening. All beds were comfy with great linens. Kitchen well stocked with utensils and cookware. More extras you could possibly need in house that we didn’t use but check before you buy bug spray, cleaning supplies, tools, etc. Living room was extremely spacious with large comfy couches and chairs. We would recommend and stay again. However, please know this is an older place. While clean the bathroom tub/shower area could need replacing due to age and very low shower sprayer. Some other items are also older and due for an upgrade, like the grill. It has interesting neighbors who house chickens, rabbits, roosters, sheep, geese, etc. if you want ideal location on beautiful lake/river where I caught walleye and panfish with kayaks then this is a great place. If you expect modern luxury with newer amenities and pampering then this is not a good choice. We want the location and fun so we had a blast!!!!
