Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint spacious home to relax We stay in several VRBO homes each year for long weekend getaways in MN and WI, and this place met our expectations: clean, spacious, good location, yard space, comfortable beds, and good kitchen amenities. Family of 5 all enjoyed ourselves. Note: This is an older home that’s been remodeled (except upstairs bathroom), but if you’re expecting brand new, higher-end you probably would be more comfortable somewhere else. If not, I highly recommend and would consider staying here again for sure. ##### Kayann B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan T.

Lots of bees had built nests around all entrances and they had someone out within an hour to take care of it. There is a fire pit and they had a basket full of s'mores stuff which was a cute touch. I wish there had been a Bluetooth speaker so we had some music, but that was the only thing lacking! I would definitely recommend this rental! ##### Megan T.

Thanks for the wonderful stay Jeremy and Amy! ##### Kayla B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brittany H. Feb 16, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Terrible The host never sent us the access code to get into the house, so we never were able to stay. Tried contacting him numerous times through messages and phone calls on our 6 hour drive there with no response. There was 1 room available at the lodge that night that we were able to get. There was nothing available the next night due to the event we were there for, but luckily we knew someone in the area and were able to sleep on couches with our kids at the house they rented. If i could give them 0 stars i would, it was a nightmare. ##### Brittany H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025
