Summary: I try to look at the positives and not leave negative reviews but i was somewhat disappointed in this house. A dozen mouse bait traps ( 2 in every room) is bit excessive and not very hygienic in my opinion and i am pretty sure i still heard mice in the ceiling during the night…The furnishings in the house were clean and the beds were comfortable but thats about all the good i can say.Its an older home that has had some renovations but very DIY style. Just not something i am happy paying good money to rent. Driveway was poorly plowed 2ft ice bank to access the garage. In front of the house it looked like they tried to burn furniture and got halfway thru and left it…I have stayed at many places in lakes of the north over the past 30 years,,,, there are worse places than this and better places choose carefully…
