Oct 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My O Mio! A great place for adults, families & hunters! Close to trails for ORV/SxS and looks great for deer hunting - check out the buck pole next to the house! Good for walking around the lake - quiet and not much traffic. Yard is big enough for kids to run around and spend time on the play equipment. Easy access and plenty of room for trailers. ##### KATHLEEN D. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### peter Oct 2, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very disappointed. No paper towels. Flies. Live and dead all over. The kitchen counter, fridge and microwave were dirty. Property was not safe. Rotted out entry and no step or back porch without warning. The front porch had broken wood. I know it was pet friendly, but definitely had a wet dog odor. We left it much cleaner than how we found it. Would never recommend or stay here again. ##### peter Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert P. Jun 30, 2025 ##### Robert P.
