Great Property for Trail Riders!
Our 5night stay was great! The host was super helpful in providing details about the property, locations of waterfalls and suggestions on where to see Northern Lights. (We were able to see them from the back yard!) The house is located right on the main trail, which was so convenient not having to trailer the side-by-sides daily to a trailhead. The listing mentioned plenty of parking, but we were a tight squeeze with 3 trucks having 26ft trailers. House was very clean upon arrival, smelled good, had new shower liners and many kitchen appliances. I will add, you do need to bring your own paper towels and Kleenex. There are many house decor signs saying “please wash your hands” but not having a place to dry them was slightly annoying. So, just a heads up, but definitely not a deal breaker. Overall, we were all very pleased. I would highly recommend this property to any fellow rider, snowmobiler or anyone looking for a refreshing getaway with family or friends!

Not private
The location was ok on the other hand the house was not so good. It was dirty the kitchen cookware was terrible and old. The bathroom had a centipede in it and the tub had cracks in it. The bedrooms very little no room to move and the beds are a joke crappy rollaway which had chunks of wood underneath of the feet because the floors are so crooked. There were different holes in the walls in the rooms. Finally we were not comfortable at all always constantly being watched all the time no matter where we were at the house,inside outside or on the premises with cameras all over. We understand there has to be rules but it was ridiculous.

place was clean and convenient to trails. Floors are uneven and very easy to trip on. All six of us were over 60 and could not figure out the TV, no big deal as we weren't there for that. One of the chairs at table was broke and there was only 2 sets of keys for the place. There is no hand rail on stairs to the upstairs.Deck is large and nice to sit on. Grill is large but does not get very hot for some reason

Nice property, could use some attention
The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. However, we specifically chose this property for the trampoline outside to give our kids something to do in the evenings - this is no longer there. Make sure to bring your own towels as none are provided. And there is no trash service provided - you have to take it all with you. The door to the upstairs large bedroom wouldn't close and made it hard for the kids to fall asleep. The grill needs at least major work or replaced - the burners were rusted out and slanted making it hard to cook things at the same time. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, but the house could use some major attention.

Great location for snowmobiling/ orv
The place was very clean and everything was as described in the listing. There were 7 guys on our annual week long snowmobile trip and had plenty of room. Cabin sits 2 miles west of Kenton on trail8. 12 miles to Sidnaw and 15 miles to Bruce Crossing for fuel. Highly recommend this listing and the hosts were great to work with. Thanks Ashley and Jason!

Almost Perfect
The property was a perfect fit for our family trip. Beautiful area and close to what we wanted to be close to. For the area to have phone service and wifi was a huge bonus! Only real downsides were the check out time was different in the listing than the host’s manual that was provided. That hour makes a huge difference when packing up to head back home cross country. Other downside was that the host’s don’t provide any trash service - we were lucky and had family that live in the area who helped us out. But that information would have been helpful to know at the time of booking so travel arrangements could be made accordingly. All in all we really enjoyed our trip and would stay again! Thanks for letting us enjoy your space!

My worst VRBO experience and likely my last (along with the other members of my group)!
We arrived almost 2 hours before the stated 4:00 PM check in time and waited on the road until 4:00 as the listing cautioned no early check in's. This should have been my first clue but I was excited about the trip and complied even thought other places I've stayed have allowed early check in if the cleaners had completed their task. The property was clean and as advertised. The "no towel" policy was not clearly stated causing us to have to purchase them for our stay. All was good until night 3 when the sewer line backed up into the 1st floor tub and filled the washing machine since if was after 11:00 PM we waited until the morning to make contact with the owners. We called the first contact number and the voice mail was full, contacted the seconded number and it went to voice mail we left a message and went to a local park to use the rest room after which we went hunting for the day as we planned. At some point in the afternoon I received a voice mail telling me the owner was having trouble finding some one to fix the issue and worst case scenario he would come in the morning to fix it. There was a pause in the voice mail or cell service wasn't good either way I didn't get the second part of his message indicating we may use another local site a mile down the road. And that I could call him about it (he made not effort to check back with me). We hunted until after dark and returned to find the system had not been repaired. We took matters into our own hands and cleaned out the waste line which had been misaligned by tree roots. We got the system functioning and left voice mails on both the numbers indicating the system status. We got up and hunted the next day and upon our return we could see were a small section of the pipe had been dug up and most likely a flex sleeve had been applied (a temporary fix). We noticed the plumbing system was not vented nor was there a backflow preventer on the washer which was the cause of it being filled with sewage. We completed our stay and on the morning of our departure we received not 1, not 2, but 3 communications telling us that check out time was 9:00 AM and the cleaning crew was waiting on us to get out. My screen capture showed a 10:00 check out and we did get out 20 minutes late, but it was odd how easily we got contacted when they needed something from us. I will never darken the door of this rental again. My request for a 3 day refund was never answered.
