"This home does not disappoint! It was clean (especially considering that up to four dogs are allowed) and spacious enough to allow the dogs some separation when that seemed like a good idea! The kitchen is well-equipped and spacious enough for a group to easily cook, eat, and relax together. The beds were comfortable, and it was so helpful to have 3 nice bathrooms. Great communication with our host, who responded very quickly to our questions! Our group would stay there again!"

"Beautiful property and great location. Our family had a great vacation! Some of our favorite features of the property were the Bluetooth speakers that played indoors and outdoors, the boat lift, plenty of space in the kitchen with modern appliances, and the game table on the main level living area. There’s also a ton of DVDs if movie night is calling. We hired a fishing guide (Fishing with Z) and he picked us up right from the dock and we caught our walleye limit in about 2 hours! Even though there is no Air Conditioning it was very comfortable with plenty of fans so it wasn’t an issue. Also the host is very responsive and friendly. We look forward to booking again next year!"
