Wow! Our host was so communicative and helpful. When the cleaning crew noticed that the refridgerator wasn't working correctly, we were immediately notified that they were working on the problem. We arrived to find a fridge that we could use until the other was fixed. Fabulous. The overall house was well equipped and perfect for what we needed. A great place to hang out and so close to the snowmobile trail. Highly recommend!

The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, well stocked, and well laid out. It is close to the lake for access and the location allows to get quickly into town while being in a quiet neighborhood. Communication with the host was excellent, prompt, and the information about the area/home was appreciated. Excellent stay!

Gaylord Fall Getaway
Sierra & Brendan’s home is amazing! Short walk to the lake. The home is extremely clean and furniture very comfortable. The beds have a heating feature which is a nice touch, there is also space heaters is each room (this helps since there is no vents in bedrooms). I would definitely would stay here again if traveling to this area.
