Well appointed house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the yellow house in Speculator. The house is spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the location is perfect for skiing. Some of us went to Oak Mtn and others went to Lapland Lake for X-country skiing.

Gem in Spectacular

This is a great property in the center of town with ample room for plenty of people. The accommodations are superb with comfy beds, the bathrooms are updated and nice, and the kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances. The owners are very responsive and easy to work with. We will return in the future to enjoy this home away from home and the summer activities of the area!

Perfect Home Away From Home

Lisa and Rick were wonderful hosts. Anytime we reached out, we had an almost immediate response. The Yellow House was the perfect home away from home. It is located within walking distance to many stores, restaurants, and gorgeous lake views. The house is exactly as pictured and described; it is so homey and beautiful. The comfortable beds had very cozy bedding too. We enjoyed our stay greatly and would definitely rent this home again.

PERFECT RENTAL!

The Yellow House was absolutely perfect for our extended family stay - kids, parents, grandparents - room for everyone! The house was immaculate, had everything we needed, and was even decorated for Christmas - what a thoughtful touch! The beds and bedding were a dream to sleep on - everyone in our group commented on this. Right in town - walk to all. Lisa was so responsive and was even there when we arrived, shoveling the front walk and steps. She provided coffee to enjoy as well as the fixings for chocolate chip pancakes! Truly the perfect rental - our family is planning to rent the Yellow House again.
