• Snowmobile time

  It was great and met our snowmobiling needs. The tub is slow to drain and that was our only hiccup.

  It was very cold. I'm sure it's wonderful in the summer seasons. But I don't recommend winter.

  Hi Kent, we value providing an excellent experience for our guests, and we would like to share some insights from the homeowner:
  -We apologize that your visit to Seeley did not meet your expectations. The winter season in this area is known for its cold temperatures, making it a popular destination for winter sports such as snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. However, if you prefer warmer weather, we highly recommend visiting during the summer months.
  -To ensure our guests' comfort during the winter, we have installed a brand new heating system, a gas fireplace, and multiple portable heaters in the cabin. These amenities are designed to keep you warm and comfortable after enjoying outdoor winter activities.
  Our commitment to all our guests is to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests as evidenced in all other reviews.

• Great Place As Long As Stuff Gets Fixed and Finished

  3/5

  We went to spend Thanksgiving and before we went I tried emailing the busyb email provided to see what was there for making a big meal and never got a response. I also tried to inform the same email of problems and still got no response. So to be on the prepared side we took extra items to make sure we were covered and found the kitchen is pretty well stocked. Even with plenty of expired food left in fridge and pantry. First ariving we played the game if we could find a switch that actually turned on a light. When using the sink in the bathroom, the tub would back up. Because of the very slow drain, had to take low flow showers with shutting water off in between rinsing to keep the tub from filling up. Quite a few lights didn't come on and not sure if it was from bad lights or electrical issues, I didn't go there to work so I didn't bother trying to troubleshoot anything. In the kitchen there is uncovered sheet rock and electrical boxes and wiring exposed. The bathroom also has half ass effort put in to trim out the door and stuff. Most of the house was clean and put up. This house is not runned down yet but is headed to be that. If the minimal effort to maintain the place continues. It would be something I would like to do a repeat visit if maintained.

  Hi there, we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. Your feedback is essential to us, and we've relayed your comments to the homeowner, who would like to address the following:
  -We have thoroughly checked all the lights, and they are all in proper working condition with functional bulbs. We apologize if there was any difficulty in finding the light switches, and we appreciate your understanding.
  -The property has two refrigerators. The guest refrigerator, which is the closest, is consistently clean and empty except for a few condiments. The owner's refrigerator positioned further back, may occasionally have food but is regularly cleaned and cleared.
  -Busyb, our in-town contact, was away during the holiday season which could have contributed to a response time slightly beyond their usual promptness. ​​​​​​​Nevertheless, emails through the app or online platform are routed directly to the owners' personal email, guaranteeing a swift reply. We recognize this uncommon delay during our contact's holiday travels.
  -The home is diligently maintained, and we regret that the guest did not find the bathroom trim to be satisfactory.
  -Typically, the tub drains well, and we were not aware of any issues beforehand. We have promptly contacted a plumber to investigate and resolve any drainage concerns.
  Thank you for choosing our property, and we hope to host you again in the future. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests as evidenced in all other reviews.

• Great place with potential, but issues were unresolved

  3/5

  This property is a work in progress. Many tasteful updates have been done. It was well appointed and clean. Several screens missing on the windows and one was broken. There was a large hole in the deck and a couple warped boards that were trip hazards. The grass had been mowed, but not trimmed around the cabin. There was a dead animal smell coming from under the cabin. We notified the property contact, but never received a reply. We weren't at the property during the day and the cool temps at night and running fans made the smell tolerable while sleeping. I hope that the smell is resolved before the next guests. We also encountered a bat the first night, but did not see it after that - hopefully it found its way out. Overall, this would be a great cabin to stay at with a little more attention and some communication.

  Hi Kristi, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize that you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The wildlife is part of what makes the location of this cabin so special. It's a normal occurrence to see bats at night in this area, along with deer, eagles, squirrels, beavers, otters, falcons, ospreys, and other wildlife during the day.
  - We already contacted a glass repairman and they fixed the cracked window. We also recently painted and repaired the deck. We have plans to install a completely brand-new deck this Fall for our guests to enjoy.
  - We recently looked under the entire cabin and the smell you mentioned was not present when we checked for critters. It appears this issue has been resolved. We have never experienced problems with bad odors and our cleaning team did not report anything unusual before your stay.
  Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. We appreciate your suggestions on areas of improvement. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!
