This remodeled older home was in a great location right in town. Walkable to restaurants and big Stone Lake. It was very clean, but also pet friendly, which made it great for our pheasant hunting weekend.

We've stayed there for three years straight. Each year the property is a little worse for wear. It is clean, just getting worn.I was disappointed that there was no frying pan in the kitchen. That made making meals quite difficult.I would recommend this property to others.

Spent 2 nights at the ROOST

House was nice but the main bedroom sink hardly drained at all. Mold in coffe maker as previous renter did not empty and was not cleaned by cleaner. Don't expect to use firepit as it is in very poor condition. Manager said he would address issues with manager partner.

Could have been better (a lot better)

The home has gone through a very low-budget renovation. The accoutrements (i.e., EVERYTHING inside the house) was either the cheapest stuff Walmart sells or likely junk found in yard sales. The AC downstairs worked but the portable AC upstairs barely worked, was only in one room, and was so loud it was crazy (you couldn't sleep in that room). Tons of delayed maintenance like the smoke alarm with no batteries in (the battery door just hanging open with no battery), slow shower drain (stand in a ankle deep water while showering), the list goes on. The electronic door locked didn't work - it took more than an hour to get a respose from the owner. I wouldn't treat tenants like this - an unfortunate experience.

The upstairs toilet had no toilet paper roller

The issues

Parked in the mud. Class V needed. First step coated in ice. Gutter needed. Scented laundry detergent drove allergies crazy. I’m pretty sure the furnace filter needed to be changed. My friend also had some sinus issues. Everything else was just fine. I would open all the windows and air the place out next time.

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!

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.
