The home was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. A great place to stay for a snowmobile trip, right off the trail. We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay at Trailside #3! Two families shared the house and everything was perfect - the beds were comfortable, tvs in every room kept the kids happy when the adults wanted to watch football, and it was close proximity to the ski hills. After spending the day skiing, coming back to the hot tub and the ability to cook our own food was a real treat. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Dean!
Perfect place for 5 guys in their 40's to ski the nearby hills during the day and relax in the hot tub at night. Everything very clean and the hot tub was big. Will stay again as the kids get older and I bring the family to the U.P.
Very nice accommodations, clean, decorated nice. Very close to ski hills, a short drive to hiking and water falls. Comfortable stay for a family of 5! Plan on going back.
We enjoyed our stay here and found all the amenities and items we needed were at the cabin. Hot tub was well maintained and got used a lot. We had a great time enjoying the lake effect snow at the nearby ski hills.
Spent a long weekend with family. Property is very clean with plenty of amenities. Only downside is the shower is difficult to use if you are taller than 5’4”. Would stay again if coming back to this area.
We stayed at this cozy little house to do some four wheeling in the beautiful forest area up North. The hot tub was a welcome delight at the end of the day for our tired muscles. We would definitely stay here again.
This is our 2nd stay at this property. Its clean, spacious, kitchen is well stocked with necessities and hot tub is perfection after a day of skiing. Dean has great communication and it’s exactly as advertised. Looking forward to next year!
Amazing property, in great condition and very well appointed! Kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, and we were very impressed that the host thought to provide a baby gate for the steps and door knob covers for the basement door. Beds were very comfortable, with nice bedding. The hot tub was a nice treat after a day of hiking. Host went above and beyond after our stay when we realized a beloved stuffy had been accidentally left behind. Communicated promptly and made sure it was mailed back to us right away.
4 of us planned a snowmobile trip but due to conditions we were not able to use the trails. We switched last min to a Ski trip and the location could not have been better! We did a day at Snow River and a day at Powederhorn. Both were only 10 min away from the house! The hot tub was the best after a long day!!
The property was beautiful! Big beautiful trees in the backyard and the yard was so pretty vibrant green yet. The house itself was beautifully decorated and felt a little like home! It reminded me of my grandparents house in Ironwood.
Loved Our Stay! Neighbors were very friendly, it turned out they knew some of my family from Ironwood Michigan.
Thank you again for making us feel welcome and for letting us stay on your beautiful property.
The property was exactly what we were looking for and the check in process was a breeze. The house is very clean and comfortable as well as adequately stocked with everything you need. We were up north for a ski trip and the location was perfect for getting to Snowriver resort and shopping in Ironwood. We would definitely stay here again!
Loved the house! Perfect space for everyone. Comfy beds, big screens in every room. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook a big meal or just grab a snack. Close to Snowriver and Rt 2 so accessibility is good. Very clean and well maintained. Will definitely look to return.
We would like to thank you for the wonderful first time experience renting a vacation home through Vrbo. The house was perfect with every ammenity and then some. If we decide to venture back up to the area we certainly would rent this property again. Thanks again!!!!
