Our stay was wonderful and cozy. We somehow mixed up our days but they graciously accommodated us. The weather was awful in most people's books but was amazing to us since we snowmobile. Trails, food, town, snowmobile equip, etc are all very close. We had deer in the yard. When the snow wasn't blizzarding, we could see Lake Superior - very pretty! This home had all of the amenities we needed and it allowed our dogs to come which was great!
