Backus Horseshoe Lake Hotels

"Location of the house was amazing- situated on a peninsula with views on all three sides. That’s kind of the beginning and the end of the good parts. We arrived and the driveway had not been plowed. House could use a bit of a refresh but it’s a cabin so I don’t hold it against them. They had some sort of a ladybug infestation - there were dead and live ladybugs everywhere so we spent the afternoon of our arrival vacuuming and cleaning (at least it was ladybugs). Unfortunately the next morning as we were cooking breakfast we pulled utensils out of the drawer and they were covered with maggots. Spent the rest of the weekend handwashing every dish before we used it. Pool room was supposed to be locked but lock didn’t work so had to block it off with chairs so my toddler couldn’t get in. I had also been very clear with manager about pool temp before I booked - I have small kids and they can’t really hang out in a cold pool very long and that’s the only reason we booked that property in the middle of March. I even offered to pay an extra fee to have the temp raised in advance of our stay so it was warm- which the property manager obligingly took me up on and then never proceeded to raise the temp even though I paid an extra fee. Was just very clear that nobody had been in the property in a long time and they spend the absolute bare minimum on property "
