Our annual family snowmobile trip

Greg was great to work with and his communication amazing (especially as we got close to trip date and snow was questionable)! Our Christmas wish for snow came true and we had a great time! Thank you, Greg!

Needs Improvement

This cabin is in a beautiful setting but there were some concerns during our stay. When our group was out 4 wheeling for the day, we had the doors locked, all lights off, everything was shut off and checked before we left. At our return, we found the TV on and the living room lights on. I texted Greg to ask him if he's been in the cabin and he never did respond. Creepy! We did not ever turn the TV on while we were there. We know someone had been in there while we were gone. The grill on the deck was totally shot and rusted out and small. If I could put a picture on this review, you would be shocked! The wooden chairs on the deck were rough and paint was peeling and almost gone. The main floor mattress was in good condition but the one in the loft sagged in the middle and the downstairs mattresses were quite worn as well. When you walked into the lower level to get in the cabin, it smelled very musty and old. Also be aware going into the main door. The carport has 2 by 6 short cut boards as a floor that are loose and will flip up and could trip you. When I contacted the owner about a shortage of wash clothes, he claimed there was enough and suggested that I cut up a towel to use if we needed more. Parking space for trailers was excellent.

Wonderful escape

Overall a great hidden gem! If you want to be away from anyone but still be close to trails. This is your place to be. Set up for adventure, hooks for gear to dry out in the mud room area and open building to put toys in. It’s not in closed but still nice to put vehicles in so they aren’t sitting out in the driveway. I would suggest not driving down the lane at night until you know the lane. The driveway and lane wasn’t plowed once we got there because we were 24hrs after they got 15inches we got stuck with our rigs. I would highly suggest to keep open communication with Greg about how deep it is. Overall great place to rent if you want to ride straight from the house to the trails! The mud room entry way is awesome. Great to have bathrooms on each level! Greg is great to work with and friendly!
