fantastic winter vacation
Stayed here for a visit with my MTU student and my 12 yr old son - we all loved the beautiful, comfortable accommodations with an Up North cabin decor. The hot tub, sauna and game room were so wonderful after a day of skiing at Mt Ripley just down the road. Convenient location. Although was on the snowmobile trail so I was afraid it would be noisy, it was still pretty quiet and peaceful. Parking easy and convenient. We appreciated the many nice touches - coffee bar and snacks. We would very much love to stay here again. I imagine summertime rental would be amazing too with all they have to offer.

Girls trip!
Beautiful place, well supplied, easy process. Did a lot of sight seeing in the area. Only issue it was hard to find in the dark, we came in a little later than we hoped. More outdoor lighting by the driveway would have been very helpful.

Cabin on the canal
The cabin is very nice, but the location on the parking lot really was minimized in the ad. Also neighbors thirty feet away did not give a feeling of exclusive getaway to the week.
