About the host
Hosted by Sadie Vervoort
We love the Up North life, Summers in the RZR, Winters on snowmobiles, the people, nature and seasons it brings. We decided we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the magic of Up North living, even for just a couple days.
Why they chose this property
Located in Lakes of the North, it is filled with trees with hundreds of miles of trails, a community who often travels in ORVs instead of your typical cars. You are far enough away from the city to enjoy nature and it’s peace yet close enough to many attractions that it is just a short drive to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
You have a beautiful view with the elongated windows in the living and kitchen area to enjoy whatever season is right outside your doorstep. It is less than 1000 feet from the trailhead which means once you park your car you do not need to get back in if you want to, and just enjoy the trails and nature.
