Really great location, rode the Copper Harbor mtb trails for three days in a row. Location was awesome, 1 mile out of town and easy to ride from property to trails.

Surrounded by trees, it is beautiful. This is truly a lovely property. A short walk down to Hunters Park. It is a wonderful spot except that the cleaners certainly leave a bit to be desired.
This place was a fantastic stay. Brand new! Everything we needed was provided. We had a great time- great location for what we were planning! Would definitely return!

We enjoyed our stay. The house actually had more supplies than we expected, including some things that came in handy atving around the mountain like the walky talkies.The bed we slept in was very comfortable and cozy. Although there is no ac, it was not needed as the ceiling fans, and the area temps made for a nice cool sleep.The area feels both secluded and accessible. We recommend grabbing a pasty at the gas station.The house was clean, comfortable and inviting and we appreciated being able to retreat to a cozy place at night after a day of exploring.

Shower floor is quite slick when rinsing shampoo or soap, inside and outside shower mats would be safety additions.

Thank you for your feedback Robert! We appreciate your suggestion about the shower floor. Adding inside and outside shower mats for safety is a great idea, and we’ll definitely consider it to enhance our guests' experience. You're a great guest , hoping to welcome you again. - Van FVR
The location couldn't have been better. The weather was exceptional for outdoor activity. The accommodations were clean and well appointed with everything we needed to cook at home. We enjoyed sitting on the deck hoping to see wildlife but didn't. We did have a visitor one night. One morning we woke up to the lock on the garbage container broken and knocked over with bear paw prints as evidence, but no bear in sight. We enjoyed our week-long stay immensely and plan to return in the near future!
