Super nice property— exactly as advertised. We stayed as it was close to the track and two racers were staying there—super convenient. Addition nice touches were: decent kitchen knives and cookware, nice kitchen, gorgeous views and sunrise, fire pit, deck. Really could ask for much more. Owner was super responsive.

We really enjoyed our stay at Heidi’s home. The proximity to Road America was perfect as we were there to watch some racing. The backyard is beautiful. I sat outside and watched some eagles fly over. The house has everything you might need and is beautiful.
