Even though there were houses fairly close, the property felt secluded and was extremely quiet. It was very clean when we arrived and the kitchen was well stocked with needed items. The only issue we had was getting enough air upstairs to the bedrooms in order to be somewhat comfortable; in order to do this it was freezing downstairs most of the time. But overall it was a beautiful house, the numerous tables where very useful for a family of 13. We can't wait to return for next years family vacation.
The cabin is nice (a bit oddly laid out) likely due to an addition, but definitely the nicer end of homes I've stayed at over the last 30 years.
Master bedroom was freezing cold at night, despite trying to turn up the thermostat - it took us an additional night to find the extra blankets.
We paid the pet fee to bring our dog and we were told to clean up after her (we did). However, it is clear that nobody else has done so as the backyard was full of dog "deposits" from past guests.
My biggest gripe though, is that for the price, we were given only two "pods" for the dishwasher, one partial roll of papertowles and expected to bring our own bathroom towels. This was under the guise of lack of "manpower" but we had bath mats for the floors....Based on what we paid, providing towels to dry ourselves off isn't too much to ask (nor would be a few bottles of shampoo),
The property is very nice, fire pit was great and view wonderful. The kids had a nice time, just wish we had had some snow and ice to go along with our trip (what a weird year weatherwise!)
This is a large home which allowed the group of nine of us to spread out. I loved that there was a separate room with a TV towards the back of the house for those who were gamers. There was plenty of dishes etc. in the kitchen. I enjoyed the decor and the artwork in the house. There was some confusion as to which day and where the garbage should go out and when I called they told me the wrong day of the week. But we were able to get it out on the correct day-but they should mention that it is picked up very early.
All in all we had fun and it's a lovely house. We used the same rental company to rent a pontoon which was dropped off the day day we got there and picked up the day we left. That was a big plus and I would recommend doing that if you are interested. Also the listing does not mention the bunk room in the basement for extra sleeping space if needed. It might be a plus to know that. The AC could be a little stronger in the upstairs bedrooms. But all in all it's a great house for a larger group.
Overall this was a good getaway for us. The house was spacious. The check in and check out hours are weird. Check in at 4pm and check out at 8am. Which means youâre basically losing two days of stay. We asked for a late check out but never got a call back. The location is beautiful and overall this was a decent stay.

The house and grounds were lovely. There is a TON of room for different activities. The kitchen was well stocked. But, we caught every fish in the lake, at least once. Fishing was not very good when we were there.

We really enjoyed our stay at the home on Pickerel Lake. Very spacious and easy access to the trail system All was great except the Garbage was never picked up from the previous renter. We had to place all our garbage bags in the garage because the two dumpsters were overloaded. Outside of that it was great!

We love this house, it is very roomy and feels like home. Almost wished we would have purchased it when it was on the market a few years ago. The only true drawback is the noise from J. Usually we are there in the summer and the leaves provide a great noise buffer, but with the leaves dropped, it is an unbelievable difference.

We had a wonderful time, definitely coming back. We had a 13 family members and the place was large enough to accommodate all of us. The perfect getaway.
Location great but house needs more lights, painting and cleaning.
This property is in need of carpet/sofa/tile cleaning. Everything was functional but smelled musty. Caught a mouse under the kitchen sink. That cabinet needed a serious cleaning as there looked to be mouse droppings in there.
The deck is fabulous but has areas that could be dangerous for small children and dogs.

The pictures and description don't do this place justice. It was extremely large and the set up was perfect, inside and out! Hiller Vacations went out of their way to make this experience great!

WE love the area and Pickerel Lodge was perfect for us. there was 14 of us and we had plenty of room. THe kitchen had everything we needed.I really liked that there wasn't 50 steps down to the waster. the young ones loved fishing off the dock. the 2 tables for meals was so nice. we could all eat together'
