SxS weekend in the snow

Preplanned trip before snow prediction. 2 couples have cottages in neighborhood but both were winterized so we decided to rent a house nearby. Rough travel going up but house was delightful. Clean and comfortable. Communication with owner was good. Easy entry. Would recommend. Plan on renting again.

Nice and quiet

This was a cute little cozy cabin. It did smell like smoke upon arrival. Also counters and stove was dirty. Other than that everything was accurate in listing.

Great for the price!

We were able to book this the night before (most places won't do less than 24 hour bookings) - clean cabin, walking distance to the water. Older dock available for your boat or jet skis (dock needs some maintenance). Basic house supplies are there (pots, dishes, utensils, sheets) but you need to bring serving bowls, garbage bags, bath and kitchen towels! There was a musty smell when we first arrived so we had to open up the entire house. No air conditioning but fans in most rooms. There is a charcoal grill to use and a fire pit in the yard. There is also a fenced in area so that would be nice for your pets.
