Property was very clean, decorated beautifully and perfect size. Careful or the bear in the lower family room will get you (I turned and walked right into it's claws. Lol)! We saw multiple deer right at the house at various times of the day. The 3 season room is beautiful and so many big windows looking out to the lake. A couple things should be noted. Description advertises the wood burner. They should add that the wood is not included anywhere on the property. They have a nice stand next to it for wood, but no wood. And none supplied we found out after messaging property management.They should add a how to note next the wood burner because if you don't get the flue itself very hot (which is not normal) the entire house fills with smoke. I apologize to whoever is staying after us if the house smells like smoke. Also, the steps and deck were not shoveled and the steps were very slippery. There's sand and a shovel right on the porch, salt downstairs. We ended up cleaning them up ourselves after we got there at dark and we're trying to unload.
Distance to the snowmobile race track was great. The house was a good size for the party we had and clean. A couple items for improvement would be to have the heat turned on prior to our arrival as it was 47 degrees in the basement when we arrived. A list of kitchen items would have been helpful too. We found there wasnât enough cookware to really cook in bulk for the amount of people we had. All in all we had a great trip and the house was perfect for us.
The house completely reeks like cigarette smoke. It is listed as a non smoking property and all you can smell is cigarettes the moment you walk in. We found 3 different ash trays throughout the property. I contacted Vacasa and the local owner and they did not respond. When finally they did respond 5 days later, they denied my request for a refund or discount as they misrepresented the property and they simply denied the property smelled like smoke. They absolutely did not care and did nothing. I would not recommend staying here if you do not want to be in a place where it undoubtedly smells like cigarette smoke. Poor overall experience with the property and Vacasa.
The house was very convenient to visiting overnight camper and enjoyable. The cleanliness was a negative (lots of issues with that), the house was old, but overall ok. House was spacious and the bathrooms were updated nicely. Outdoor area of the property was great- large space and very pretty.
The check in and out process was very easy and quick. The location was very nice with a lot of wild life. We were visited by many white tail deer in the evening.
Loved our stay. The home was spacious, comfortable with beautiful views from the deck and main living area. There was a private dock, which we were able to access from Catfish lake. We look forward to bringing the family back!
