Bill is a great host, he’s a pro. Every detail a traveler needs to think about is already sorted thanks to this knowledgeable host. The property is as pictured and actually a bit roomier than it appears. Clean, well appointed and comfortable - I highly recommend.

Host was great, place was great, location close to town but far enough out. We came to ice fish locally and the chalet and hot tub were amazing to come home and warm up in! Thanks again for letting us use your space!
