Ski weekend with friends

Overall this property met our needs for a ski weekend with 5 couples. It is very spacious as described and the hot tub and sauna were awesome after a day of skiing and snowshoeing. One disappointment was being told upon arrival the dishwasher was broken with a new one coming the next week. We ended up buying paper plates to avoid doing all the dishes by hand. The location was awesome being a ski in ski out. The house and furnishings looked a little tired for the rental cost.

We loved it. Would recommend!

Our group of 4 families had a wonderful time. The place is well stocked. We very much enjoyed the huge deck and the fire pit. There are some great hikes to waterfalls nearby. Huge kitchen to cook and hang out with and plenty of room elsewhere.

Grandma's 60th Birthday party

Great for large family gathering. The grandkids loved the outside space. The property lived up to expectations. Very well equipped. Had everything we needed, including paper towels and toilet paper, soap, dishwasher soap. On our last night, the kids were asking if we could come back next year.

Cousins Weekend

We traveled 8 hours from downstate to meet our family in the area. We were able to host our family Saturday and Sunday from the area, had plenty of room to feed and sit everyone. Had a great firepit to sit around. Had a wonderful neighbor just across the way that actually transported our 86 year old aunt across so she would not have to do any stairs into the cabin. It was wonderful to be able to interact with our cousins. There was enough room to play games with the kids outdoors. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The cousins in the area thought the place was beautiful and even inquired about renting it themselves for their immediate family. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We had a minor issue with one of bathrooms, called the office and within a half hour they had sent someone over to check out the problem.

Great Place to stay

One of the best VRBO‘s we’ve ever stayed in! Perfect location for getting onto the hill, and very spacious. It had everything you could possibly need, and you didn’t need to bring anything!

Problem with door code..key never worked

Dirty..dead bugs on window sills, floors. Black hair on bathroom floor. Dust on all shelves. Cookie sheet and casserole pans sticky and drain pan dirty. Grill was totally unusable and our intent was to grill burgers. Only TV that worked per directions was in living room Floor in downstairs bathroom? Caused family members to be BLACK...more than once! I feel sorry for the owners of the property as it appears management needs to do a better job. The cabin itself is big and nicely decorated but the dirtiness ruined it for all of us

SAM REUNION

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The only thing that could have been better, is if in the welcome book, they would have had more information about Hurley, Wi; and its abundant World Class Gentlmans establishments and bars. There was such a detailed list of recreation and dining experiences for MI, but nothing about the night life in Hurley! Next time we would appreciate it, if you could do alittle bit more detective work on our behalf (and future guests of course). Then we don't have to waste our nights drinking ourselves into oblivion, all while not knowing that with a simple review, my new ex-wife might have been just next door, and I never knew it. You could have helped make a romance happen with a small review section of the ladies of the night from Hurley WI! That why my review for your property is only a 4.827 stars.

Average at best, definitely not all seasons

The location and ammenities for this property is ideal for winters/skiing only. I would definitely not recommend it for summer/early fall. The management’s communication was poor. I contacted via phone and text during the stay but there was no response. The place is clean and well maintained, but can use some upgrades to appliances, air and vent systems make it more covenient for guests.

Great Place to Visit

Great house - bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. Great kitchen - all kinds of plates, glasses, silverware and tools. Only concern was the water was very hot. I let the lodge know when we left and they were going to have their maintenance group look into it.
