Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good last minute booking This was a great last minute booking for us when we found Houghton did not have snow less than a week before our trip. We quick booked this knowing we would have to trailer our snowmobiles north and we were ok with it. There was a good bar nearby. The only slight issue is communication when we were not getting a response through the app. I finally found a number on an email and was able to communicate that was. Even with that it was a great extended weekend! ##### Madison H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank S. Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent property owner We had a little snafu with the property we were supposed to stay in. Well before we got there, the onwer got into contact with us, explained the situation, and offered a replacement property, a bigger house than we had booked. A few miles from where we had planned, but not enough to matter and more than made up by the replacement house. Very nice house ,wifi is a bit slow (its the UP, it's common), well stocked. Excellent owner, great communication. Would definitely rent from her again. ##### Frank S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel C.
