Tons of space for large group
Great spot located relatively close to area ski resorts, with TONS of space for a large group and many beds for great sleeping capacity. House was relatively clean and easy to access as well, great affordable option for a large gathering place up north!

Ski Trip
The property is listed as VRBO but uses a management company called Vacasa. The emails from Vacasa are not spam but they really want you to get their app for communication. Once I did, it was easier. The house initially looked great. Main areas look clean. After being there and noticing more, it is not cleaned like a hotel. Things like food on dishes that the dishwasher baked on, we washed before using. Trash on bathroom floor, some cobwebs. Not a big deal, it is someone’s vacation home, not a hotel. But between the pans and the windows open, we rated overall cleanliness 2 -3, it’s not “dirty”, but it also had some things that could use a little better attention. If you have realistic expectations, it’s easy to overlook, this house is great for a couple of families to share. Looks like it is an amazing summer/lake house. A few windows were open upstairs when we arrived so the upstairs was 40F. Once the heat was directed upstairs this was not an issue after the first night. It was freezing the first night. Would stay here again. Any issues were minor. 4/5 overall. Thanks for sharing your place.

The house is a good size location is excellent but it needs to be deep cleaned inside and out. It needs to be maintained better. Furniture needs to be sturdier mattresses need to be replace pillows need to be replaced cobwebs inside and out. Exterior needs to be power washed garage needs to be cleaned out weeds need to be pulled deck needs to be cleaned up
