We stayed there in Feb 2025 for a snowmobile trip. The location is a couple of blocks from the trail which was convenient. There is a bar and gas (limited hours) in town. The house was nice, large couch for TV watching, 4 bedrooms, was very spacious for 4 people. The owner communicated well and was helpful. I would stay there again.
Everything was great, except there was not enough toilet paper. We enjoyed the house. It would be nice if the patio doors were working the next time we stay there, but we like staying there.
Very clean and lots of room for the four of us to spread out. House has a deck, front porch and basketball hoop that were pleasant surprises for us. We used the location as a home base for waterfall hikes, kayaking, swimming at nearby lakes and even a day trip to Bayfield & Madeline Island. Enjoyed the games downstairs too! Overall this place worked great for us and offered us a much needed get away. A couple small things that would have improved our stay - some darker curtains in the bedrooms would help to block out early morning sun and the king bed was not very comfy (two older twin mattresses pushed together). We didn't use the basement bedroom, but the twin beds in the other rooms were good.
The Good and the bad: It's big, the appliances all work. It was very clean. The bad: Who reads the details about a place that rents out for $200 a night? No hair dryer. Tricia's response, "I don't use one". The bed and pillows: unbelievably uncomfortable. A 2 inch foam pad on an old set of twin mattresses on a bed that creaked like an old house and pillows that were hard foam and way too thick. The shower: Your back against the wall opposite the shower head that is way too tall so only your head and face get wet. It was awful. It was Cold! In July! The thermostat was LOCKED on cool. It was 62 degrees in the house. You cannot open the patio doors and the other doors don't have screen doors. No place to eat outside because there is no table. The furniture is ripped and worn through. The couch and chair was purchased with the house as one can clearly see by the pictures showing the house when it was listed. There is a ridiculous security deposit or buy insurance. There is nothing valuable enough in the place to warrant either. Security cameras in Marenisco? Really? There hasn't been a theft, robbery, B & E in over 6 years in the area and then there was one theft. Instructions to strip the beds and place all of the garbage outdoors; Are you telling me that your cleaning help don't come the day of departure? Finally, a tip jar. I don't understand the 5 star ratings or the price. I do not recommend this house. One must always end on a positive note: there are 2 bars within stumbling distance. We didn't go in.
Took a trip up snowmobiling and was a good place to stay for a few couples and enjoy a snowmobiling weekend. Only a few blocks from trail and gas station. House was roomy with great kitchen/dining area as well as bar area downstairs which was great for just hanging out after day on the trail. Driveway is a pretty good slope but we still managed to park 3 trucks w/ trailers and had ample room to get in and out w/ sleds easy enough.
We had a great, relaxing time. The home is very spacious yet it wasnât hard to spend time together. The kitchen is wonderful for making meals in, as desired. The location was perfect for us - day trips all over the UP for various outdoor adventures and then relaxing at the rental in the evenings. There are also multiple hikes locally. The host had great communication and worked with us to make sure we had a great experience. We would rent again!!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house is really nice, roomy and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with all the dishes and utensils youâd ever need. Nice appliances and furniture. Itâs located in a nice quiet town on a quiet dead end street. We really enjoyed the pool table!
The house was awesome very clean and comfortable, the location was perfect close to the trail and close to the couple of bars and gas in town. The house has is a large home with plenty of room for everyone definitely would stay here again !!!
