It was fine, clean and easy to find. Worked for what we needed, in town for a wedding. And from what we heard, much nicer than the Econo Lodge.

Nice clean property. Met our needs for three for the weekend. The downstairs matress is queen size but not thick. OK but not the most comfortable to sleep on.

Met our needs

We needed a place that provided a recliner for my husband to sleep in and a separate bedroom. This place met our needs. There were no instructions or house rules anywhere in the house so we only did what was required at other homes we stayed at over the years.

Great spot for a trip to Big Stone

A trip for two, and this little house was great! Nice little neighborhood, close to multiple landings and we were impressed with how clean it was. Nice carpet, good kitchen and bathroom, apartment-sized washer and dryer. All modernized. We didnt use the upstairs bedroom, but poked our heads up there. Again, nice carpet, clean and tidy room.The only slight drawback was tight space for parking a truck and trailer, but we made it work. Would absolutely stay again.
