The Perfect Getaway
This property was so incredible. The house is beautiful, well equipt, comfortable and clean. This is the only VRBO I have rented that had everything I needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. The property is stunning, the location is perfect. I can't wait to stay here again!

Cozy, clean and wonderful - We LOVED the Potato House!
Our family of 8 gathered from all over the US to celebrate the holidays. The setting was picturesque, the house was unique and cozy, and the property manager was responsive and kind. If you are looking for a relaxing up north get away in a great location - our family highly recommends the Potato House!

Potato House
It’s a difficult property for older people because of the stairs. It is bucolic setting with horses grazing. Charming decor.
