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.

Ice fishing home base

My group recently stayed for an ice fishing trip and we had the best experience. The check in was one of the best I’ve had. House was clean and more spacious than I thought when booking. We thought we forgot a bag and the host was very responsive and helpful. Thankfully it was just tucked in a fish house…. Will be back here for sure!

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 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.

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.

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.
