Clean, comfortable, great location

Five friends from the Twin Cities really enjoyed our two-night stay during a pheasant hunting trip. The house was spacious and comfortable, great kitchen, and close to town as well as to a lot of public land.

Great location and pet friendly!

We had a great 2 night stay here for our fishing vacation. The property was exactly as described and it worked perfectly for us. We enjoyed the wildlife views from the property and close proximity to the boat launch. The house was clean and had more than enough space for us. We will definitely rent if we visit the area again!

First impression when I pulled up to the house and got out. The trash smelled like dead fish, all weekend long the smell was horrible bad. First night my wife stood up all night till 6am the next day doing the Laundry: bed sheets, blankets, pillow cases for all of the beddings. As there was hair and left over human belongings still on the sheets and blanks. To me this was not washed nor changed for the next people staying. I would not recommend this place. Find a better and cleaner place for stay.

Great stay!

We had such a nice time staying here. We liked the location to Big Stone Lake State Park and Ortonville. We had all the supplies needed to cook. Everyone had a nice relaxing stay and we even saw deer, pheasants, rabbits and a visiting cow. There was a cute kitten at the house that was spoiled by our family. I recommend this home for larger groups. We had 7 in our party and enjoyed the space.

LOVELY LITTLE COUNTRY GETAWAY

We had a wonderful time staying here. We were pleasantly surprised by the surroundings--beautiful nature, deer, etc. It was nice and private and tucked just far away that we felt like we were far out in the beautiful country yet close enough to town for necessities. It was clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed as I did a bit of cooking/baking. Loved having a washer and dryer to use too! I have to say the price was great as well--compared to other places that were not nearly as nice or spacious, the price can't be beat--totally worth it! We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The property owners/managers were also great! Thanks again and we'll definitely be back!!!

Fishing 3 days

This is our fourth time there. The upkeep on the actual property is failing. Very nice place to stay, has all the comfort we need. Hand soap, dish towels, dish soap, and propane. None of that was there. Could be an oversight. We really like the place, just curious if someone else is managing it or it has gone to a corporate management company. The surrounding area is very overgrown. Garage could be cleaned up. It rained, would have been nice to pull the boat in. The deer, pheasants were great. We do miss seeing the chickens. The property is needing attention. We like staying there . Thank you.
