    We had an incredible stay at this home during Sno Drift weekend with a group of 10 friends, and it could not have been more perfect. The house was spacious, spotless, and so comfortable for a large group. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, hang out, and enjoy the weekend without ever feeling crowded.The location was ideal for an Up North trip — peaceful, beautiful, and convenient to everything we needed. The home was well stocked with all the essentials, and the host was extremely responsive and helpful from start to finish.This was the perfect setting for a fun, cozy winter getaway, and we made so many great memories here. We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great group retreat!

    We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, especially the view of the lake from the sauna.The open kitchen was well stocked as we made several large meals while there. The layout of the living area was ideal for our family.Some issues with the heating which the host dealt with in a timely manner.

    Huge house with plenty of room to spread out! Was drawn to this house because of the ability to accommodate 5 couples comfortably. Weather was cold and rainy making the Large family room off the kitchen a popular spot to hang out. We were disappointed that the fireplace in the main room was not working. The outdoor sauna in the listing title is a unique feature we had looked forward to enjoying on our winter getaway but it too was not working and therefore unavailable to us. The hot tub however was in good working order and clean! This house is good for a very large group offering many private areas and quiet spaces to read or watch a movie, play games or nap! Renters should be aware there are Many sets of stairs to the various levels some without hand railings… All in all a good stay but extremely pricey at nearly 2,000.00 a night after taxes and fees.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The Lake and weather we were blessed with allowed us to enjoy the water. Looking at it is nice, but being able to enjoy swimming & boating really added to the weekend enjoyment! The hot tub was very relaxing after a long day of playing and fun! Thank you!

    This property was great for hosting a large party of 14 adults and 6 children for an annual family trip. The layout of rooms, play areas for kids, and water toys (and kids toys) was excellent and allowed groups to get together while kids slept in another part of the home without being disturbed. The host communicated well prior to our arrival and was very responsive during our visit. We would definitely rent this property from this host again.
