Cute place

We had a fun stay at the Ice House. Very spacious and cute. Beautiful view of the lake. However, It was hard to tell where the driveway was because it was not plowed until the next day. A little disappointed the listed said there was a hot tub but there was not one there. Overall we had a great stay.

Hygge Inspired - Yes!

Our stay at this beautiful home was perfect. It was peaceful, comfortable, and relaxing. We started our days watching the sun rise over the quiet lake each morning with our coffee while listening to the loons. Such a tranquil setting. The 3 bathrooms were also a plus for our family with 2 of those bathrooms having luxury inspired features like 3 different shower heads including a rainfall shower making it feel like you were at a spa. This is the house we will book in the future when visiting the area. Our host, Heather, was quick to respond when we had questions and so friendly and kind.

Nicely updated on Ice Lake

The home was very nicely updated. Close to town and grocery store. We loved the view of the lake. We had a fire two nights and it was very peaceful. It just needs a deep clean. Ceiling fans were caked with dust, so much so my Mom couldn't stay there because she is highly sensitive to dust. She had to call a cousin to stay with. Also, beds were not that comfortable for 2 people to sleep in. Coffee pot and some glasses need replacing.
