A quiet place to stay
I’ll start with what we enjoyed about this property. From beginning to end, communication with the host was very simple and genuine. The host seem to genuinely care about their renters. The hot tub was a slice of heaven, especially with the snow that welcomed us. I sincerely appreciated how warm it was, and the hot tub itself was very clean. The laundry smelled fresh, and the location is very quiet. This would be a perfect spot for a hunting retreat, but perhaps not quite the rustic “cabin” stay, that we had had in mind. Even though the unit is older, it is in good condition. It is a pet friendly rental, and there is a slight pet odor, if that something that bothers you it may be more noticeable. I wouldn’t call it overwhelming I would just say it’s there. Our biggest dislike about this property were the beds were very uncomfortable, and I would suggest anybody coming to bring blankets as you may want them to snuggle up on the couches. The outside patio area is an excellent addition, and would be great for parties. Looking to play cards, gather, cook, or just spend time closer to the outdoors. The property is not quite as scenic as the pictures suggest, but still private and close to town. Curtains would have been a nice addition to the side of the home that faces towards the street. Overall a quality location to stay.
