Very convenient and cute place. All my kids were comfortable. Only complaint is we had to keep shoveling the walkway ourselves and the driveway did not get plowed during our stay even though they got a good 5” of snow plus the wind blown snow. I am glad I had all wheel drive!

We enjoyed our stay. The snowmobile trail is RIGHT there! Well stocked for making meals. The double sized bunk bed could use a 'little more' comfy mattress. We ended up using the one on top and made a double mattress on the bottom. Worked out well! Decent size driveway for two trucks, and two snowmobile trailers. Close to town. Thanks
