Cabin very nice/clean. Came up for snowmobiling trip, road route to trail further than implied and lake access could have been better marked.

The cabin was spectacular and clean!!! Thank you for everything!!!

walleye fishing

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: a few issues with electric to the docks, the fish gut freezer overloaded before it was emptied.....makes a difference when the managers are not on premise...walleye fishing was good but not many keepers for a 2 week period....the bathtub had an issue on the bottom with some sort of brown leakage and the hood above the stove had no cover...
