Big place
It is a three bedroom, 2 bathroom house, recently updated, laundry, and a bigger kitchen. I was here on business with one of my colleagues in the winter and we didn't have problems. Communication with the owner was really good too.

Great Location......will stay again
The house is in a great location, one block from main street in Ortonville. House is perfect for a hunting and fishing weekend. House was clean, plenty of beds and the kitchen has everything you need cook your own meals. We will stay again.
After first stay communicated with owner and he reassured that the cleanliness issues would be corrected. Two weeks later our second stay there were still cleanliness and safety issues that we’re unacceptable.

Great place to hangout after a long day
I was disappointed to learn only one bedroom was on the main floor, but it was a large one and we were able to get the grandkids in there with us in there pack-n-play and cot.
It was a great place, easy to find, where we could relax after a long day outside.

Ice fishing
Very nice. Just lock issues with the front door. It has to much lag time with keyless entry. Perfer just to have a key. Just me personally.

Would stay there again
It is a small house that can actually sleep quite a crew. It was a perfect home base for my husband and our hunting dog for a few days. Lots of towels, kitchen is well stocked and we liked the location. Thank you!

Perfect for what we needed
A few friends and I were looking for a place to stay in town, close to downtown while we were in town fishing. This place fit the bill. Plenty of space for us 4 and location was excellent. The house was clean and tidy, and has one bedroom and a bathroom on the main floor and 2 bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom. I would definitely consider staying here again in the future.
