Great cabin. All good rooms, bathrooms, and beds. Kitchen stocked well. No kuerig. Things to take note: We arrived in the evening late and due to that hard to see the black barn and drive so we passed it up at first. Had to circle back. No air conditioning however there are fans and a room air conditioner in one bedroom upstairs. Lucky for us it was fairly cool and the fans were sufficient. Thus if visiting in the summer take notice. Great location to all the surrounding area of Belle aire and elk rapids etc. We enjoyed our stay and working with the owner. We would stay again. I could see this a great winter stay.

Beautiful house, perfect for VRBO. I didn't read carefully, there's no AC. 3 of the 4 nights were comfortable. Contact with Janet made our trip right. I'd definitely stay again in the winter, spring or fall. The setting is gorgeous!

Snowmobiling with friends!

Highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again!The house was very nice and clean, easy to find, great location and close to snowmobile trails. Had lots of snow while we were there, but the guy that plows for the owner showed up and plowed the drive for us. Host was very responsive, only took a few minutes to receive any feedback if we had questions. Overall a great place to stay!

Amazing Location Near ORV Trails

Excellent location and very nice home! It was perfect for our group that wanted to ride the trails and be able to walk to Hideaway after the day was done. The place was well appointed and clean. The only hiccup was a furnace issue, but the host quickly got someone out to fix it so it mimimized the inconvenience. I plan to return to this place at some point!

Home away from home!

Home was very nice and updated. The outdoor area was better than the pictures with a lovely view of nature and plenty of seating. We chose this home as it was close to our daughter’s wedding venue (A Yak or 2 Ranch) so we actually were just here to sleep but I’d definitely come back for a relaxing get away or a snowmobile trip since it’s close to the trails.
