The house was amazing, it was 2 miles from Tippy Damn, so it made salmon fishing alot easier on us. The house is very spacious, the kitchen has everything you could think of. There are 4 bedrooms, all beds big enough to fits grown men. The up stairs bathroom eith that tub was relaxing. Hopefully we can rent this place again next year

Our check-in was very easy and the host was very helpful with the needed information. The Kitchen was nicely laid out with plenty of room. The house was really comfortable and very nice to relax in. We had plenty of room. We enjoyed playing the games they furnished, both indoors and outdoors. Another great vacation in the books.

An amazing place to stay for the weekend

This place was the perfect place to stay for the weekend. Close enough to several trails for hiking and right by the river for fishing. I would highly recommend it to everyone I know.

Awesome getaway up north

My family and I had an amazing time staying here! The kids absolutely loved all the space and the air hockey table. Huge plus being dog friendly so we could bring our fur babies along with us. Chris was great at responding quickly and answering all of my questions. Would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect stay for extended family

We needed a large house for everyone & this was exactly that. Each family was able to have their own space and there was plenty of room in the living areas and kitchen. The yard was great for a bonfire and yard games (most of which were provided). I would recommend to any large group looking for a place to stay together in this area.

Beautiful property

I really enjoyed my stay with my friends over the weekend. It’s a beautiful property right by the trails and has a really nice bon fire pit for great fires and the tippy damn isn’t far away super convenient for fishing. The inside of the house is beautiful and very spacious perfect for a big group. I definitely will be staying at this property again!
