Pros: right off snowmobile trail (just go straight down the road and you are on it)Tvs with streaming, wifi, functional kitchen.Host is very good with communication!Cons: old house so issue with heating (main floor bedrooms get COLD if you close the door), house foundation is settled? and everything is now leaning. Upstairs 'bedrooms' have no privacy, they are open, no doors, maybe put up even a curtain?Living room lacks seating for how many people the house sleeps. It worked for what we needed but one in our group does construction work so he practically had convulsions. I understood why the price was so good and was willing to accept. Maybe add small baseboard heaters to the main floor bedrooms for winter time. It was EXCEPTIONALLY cold when we stayed (morning temp was -5 with windchills in the -15-20). Check in/out was easy. Issues that we had that were resolvable the host fixed asap. Everything was clean and safe.

This place feels like a "home", not just a house. The decor and fireplace make you feel like you're staying at a friend's place. The host is more than accommodating and very easy to reach. I have booked this listing multiple times and will continue to do so as long as it's available.

Very cute clean house. Great location. It was a very quick walk to the ferry and also walking distance to the shops downtown. We really appreciated the fenced in back yard and the fact the the fences we tall and secure. No worries about our dogs making an escape.
