Snowmobile trip with friends

Corey is a great host who answers your request right away if need be. The house is great! Lots of rooms with queen and king size beds with solid bunk beds. We loved relaxing on the big couch watching a movie on the big living room TV. We also loved playing cards on the big table and making our favorite meals with friends. This house has great access to the snowmobile trails. The trails were not groomed and in bad shape due to a bridge out and not enough groom machines but this has nothing to do with the host. He is great and the house is clean and relaxing and lots of rooms to spread out. Even though the trails were bad, just being together with friends was great! There is plenty to do in the area if you decide not to ride like casino’s and good places to eat in Marquette like Italian restaurant and Road House and a trip around the Lake Superior and a great house to fit lots of family and friends and play games. We had so much fun. Corey made sure that we had plenty of room to park our trucks and trailers. Lots of towels, toilet paper, paper towel, beds etc. This house, host and cleaners are great!! Thank you for having us Corey
