The property is clean and well stocked with everything you would need as far as linens, cooking accessories, etc. In addition it's spacious. We had 8 adults comfortable in the space. The hot tub was a lovely amenity at the end of long days of wedding celebrations.

Mandy was awesome! Great communication and response whenever we had questions. My coworkers and I were in Bemidji to work the recent windstorms. The house was clean and spacious and worked great for us! Would definitely call Mandy again when we come up in the future.
