Smaller Than Expected + pool closed

The cabin was smaller than expected for our family of 6 adults and 2 toddlers. The pool was down for maintenance the entire weekend, which was the main reason we chose this cabin. The kids were very disappointed. Luckily there was the sportscomplex in Gaylord as a back up. 25 min away. Arrival of the cabin the house was 50degrees BURR. . it took a couple hours for the house to feel comfortable at 65. The staircase has a wood railing that is NOT safe for kids. lots of stick pieces that seem to be coming loose. Tv was a little old and small for those looking to watch movies or sports like we were. The main living room needs more overhead lighting! It gets pretty dark once the sun goes down or on a cloudy day. Suggest bringing your own toilet paper if you want something better than single ply. Overall we enjoyed our time together as a family in the small cabin, We used the dining table to play cards and board games that we brought. The couches were comfortable and clean. Our bedrooms were maid up and clean with lots of blankets to stay warm. We did need to do a load of towels while we were there because we ran out clean ones.

Cute place and good amenities

Lovely spot, close to skiing and snowmobiling. The pool and hot tub is at the club house and cost $6 a day. It was a great and fun to have. The only negative is that i think this property would not hold more than 6 people. The bedrooms are small. Not a problem for us because our whole group did not come, but could be for other bigger groups. We also ran out of TP and paper towel and we only had 4 people. Not a complaint, just a comment! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this dog friendly property! Thanks Peltons!

Cute family getaway

Overall great stay and fun time with the family. Loved everything cozy cabin feel. Initially a little cold when arriving so you will have to put up the heat wish they were able to send someone there prior to our arrival to turn the heat on. Otherwise it’s a nice family space the kids enjoyed it!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The couches had dog hair on them. The downstairs bedroom also had dog hair on the comforter. Laundry was left in the dryer and the towels in the bathroom smelt moldy. Had to wash towels before taking showers. Food was left in fridge other than regular condiments.
