Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great fishing cabin Overall had an enjoyable stay for our fishing trip. Location was great and cabin was comfortable. The property is going through an ownership transition which may have attributed to some inconveniences we had. We had to reach out to the property manager via phone to get check in instructions as emails/vrbo messages went unnoticed. Additionally, the WiFi during our stay was not working. The purpose of our trip was to get off the grid and enjoy fishing, however, were hoping for WiFi to keep in touch with loved ones (no Verizon cell service) as well as some remote work. ##### Colin O.
