Relaxing and Spacious
This is a perfect cabin to stretch out and relax. The outdoor space has a garage that is great for rainy days and a fire pit for those night time s’mores. My family, my parents, and brothers family each had a room for privacy. The kids could throw a ball in the grass, dribble a basketball in the driveway, and chill out with a movie inside. Beaches were close and nice. Shopping and things to do were all close by and easy to navigate too. You don’t have to bring the sand and dirty beach towels home with you there is a washing machine and dryer. Next time we will bring our bikes. We never had a problem but was in contact with the owners the day we started our stay and the day we left and contact info was well posted. I would definitely recommend this place.

Close to beach plenty sleeping room clean and spacious
Only complaints are first not very many cooking supply’s like pots and pans were not very good almost like the cheapest you could get to cook with and very limited pots and pans defiantly not enough to cook a regular meal. The main reason I stayed here or a VRBO was so I didn’t have to eat out much and bring much like camping. Also there were restrictions on what we could use like cups. Finally it’s advertised there was a grill I reached out and asked owner if there was propane she said yes but that we may want to bring a tank. We couldn’t fit it and we decided to only do hotdogs so figured if there’s enough for that great. When I went to make hot dogs for our big family hotdogs I was extremely disappointed there was absolutely no propane and at 175 a night you would think those few things would be of use. Other than that nice property clean close to everything lots of room and quiet neighborhood.

Thank you for your comments and we will certainly assess the kitchen cooking situation as we did have a fully stocked kitchen. I am a but confused on what you are mentioning about a "cup restriction" as we are unaware of any restrictions on use of any kitchen utensils. Our property manager is very apologetic about the propane situation, she knew the tank had propane but was unsure how much so suggested you may want to bring an extra. This has caused us to look into purchasing an extra tank so this doesn't happen again. We really appreciate the feedback and hope you will be back again.

The house is actually bigger that I thought. We had a family 8ce fishing trip. We slept 9 men comfortably. There is 5 beds, 2 futons, and 2 couches. Plenty space. The owner of the property was awesome to deal with. Would stay here again and would highly suggest to snowmobilers. This property is about a block from then lake. Overall a great experience.

Relaxing time
It was enjoyable to get away from all of the negativity and just focus on relaxing for a few days. We had a pleasant time staying at your place. The weather was a little cooler after all of the heat this summer so it was good we didn’t need air conditioning (fans). The house has lots of room and places to sleep. Kitchen items were appreciated. Lots of room in the fridge and cupboards. The knives in the block could use sharpening. Beds were comfortable too. Had a great time and enjoyed walking through the peaceful neighborhood. We didn’t need to use them but thank you for the washer and dryer. All in all, our few days away were very satisfying!
