Lakefront Mound Getaway: Near Snowmobiling Trails!

Reviews

• Great spot for a quick visit

  5/5

  Lovely little place. The lakefront area is particularly charming. The house is listed as 1800 sq ft, although this seems very generous unless the unfinished basement is included in the tally. Overall a very comfortable stay.

  We were a little surprised at the actual size vs the wide angle photos in the description. 1 bed was amazing, 2nd was satisfactory, sofa sleeper was less desirable. Overall it was OK to Good.

• Great short stay

  5/5

  A very comfortable, lovely little house with great light and excellent air flow, especially for the low cost. Great experience. The backyard is a highlight. Our daughter loved using the kayaks. We loved having coffee and such on the dock. Troy was very accommodating and generous with his time. The firepit is a nice touch. We stayed two nights.

  A few caveats:

  I think the square footage is off (1800 sq ft), unless this includes the cellar/basement, which is really only used for storage/laundry.

  It doesn't have as much privacy as one might expect. There's a large triplex house very close by one one side that houses several guests and the host's quarters on the opposite side, and they all share the dock, backyard, and parking area.

  Also, the adjoining lake area was very green and was malodorous at times (definitely not any fault of the host). It might just have been the time of year we visited (mid August). Not a showstopper, but something to consider.

  With all that said, we'd definitely visit again.

  2/5

  The lake and outside property were fantastic. Gorgeous place to watch the sun set or have a bonfire. There’s a great restaurant within walking distance. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the house. It wasn’t up to our standards of cleanliness and smelled very strongly of smoke. The owner was kind, very communicative, and helpful but ultimately we had to check out early due to the smell and lack of internet access.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Kyle, we’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful outdoors, but we’re sorry other aspects fell short of expectations. After sending your feedback to the owner, we’d like to share the following:
  - We have upgraded the internet speed to 15 Mbps to ensure a better experience for future guests.
  - The property is thoroughly cleaned before each guest's arrival, and we take cleanliness very seriously. We will continue to maintain high standards.
  - The smoke smell you mentioned may have been from the bonfire area. Neither I nor the cleaning team detected any odors after your stay.
  We have worked very hard to provide a clean and comfortable place for guests to enjoy and will continue to do all we can to provide the best possible stay for our guests!
