Michael and Ashleigh were great hosts. Super friendly and very available and attentive. Our family of 14 came to celebrate the 30th birthday of our twins! The kids all went snow tubing and sledding and we enjoyed having a fire outside and just enjoying the fresh air!! Such a great time!! Can’t wait to come back!!
S’mores by the fire!!
So much fun!

The house was bug for my family. Game room was very entertaining for the kids, being on the lake was the most awesome weekend we did ice fishing. Kids sledded on the ice. We met lots of people. The host were always very responsive and getting back to us with questions that I had. The only negative I have to say is that the house is very dirty. It needs a thorough cleaning in all rooms. The oven was very dirty also

The house is very nice and is perfect for large groups. The bedrooms were very nice and clean but the bedrooms and house needs better lighting. The kitchen could use some better drinking glasses and had no wine glasses or teaspoons. we were out most of the time but the air hockey table was broke so kids couldn’t play

This place was awesome! We enjoyed it with various friends, and the house had a lot to offer. There was a nice hot tub, fire pit, and plenty of things to do downstairs such as Billards, and air hockey. It was cool to see that they also had an old pay phone too to add to the ambiance. There was a power outage during our stay but Michael communicated swiftly about it. Thanks again!

We ended up being evacuated from another vacation and found this listing after scouring the internet for somewhere to stay that could meet the size of our group. This house helped to salvage what was left of our trip! The owners were very quick to respond. There was some normal wear and tear on the house, but nothing that deterred us during our stay.
