We had a wonderful stay at Mandy and her families property. We had everything we needed to make homemade meals during our stay, they had every accommodation we could have asked for plus some, my toddler was so excited that there were fun toys to play with, we only wish there wasn’t a fire ban so we could have enjoyed the backyard fire ring but hopefully next time! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us, Mandy. We appreciate you!

Our stay here was great. Totally trouble free. Communication before hand was great, check in was perfectly none eventful. The place was clean, well equipped and just what we needed. Pet friendly, just beautiful, and so nice and quiet. Everything in the house and out was comfortable. Nice areas outside in the front snd back yards for enjoying the quiet outdoors. Neighbors closeby but completely unnoticeable. This place is really so so nice. Its also close enough to sone other things to do as well, we went to the rec center 10 minutes away that was verry nice. The people all around are super friendly. We used the grill twice and it worked great. Overall we just absolutely loved the place. Such a nice and needed get away.

Perfect wilderness house

My family and I stayed here for a week in August. Mandy was a wonderful host. She was very quick to answer any questions and even let us know the house was ready early. The house was just as described in the listing. Very clean and had everything you need. The back yard is very nice to sit and relax, play cards or yard games. We had 2 moose walk right through the yard one day. Would highly recommend.
