Great place to stay while snowmobiling around Mercer
We had three of us stay in this home and it was perfect for our snowmobiling weekend stay from Friday - Monday! The house is close to the trails and it is also walking distance to restaurants and the Dollar Store...very convenient. The house was clean, spacious, quiet and very comfortable. We will defiantly be back for future trips and we will let our family and friends know of this gem in Mercer!
