Holiday Homes in New Sweden

"Pros: Staff was friendly Room was nice Beds were comfy Everything was clean It's the only one with a pool locally Cons: The ONLY con was the borderline harassment for a review. The same man called five times in two days, asking us to review the hotel. I was going to, I almost always do reviews when I go places. I already planned to because I know it was recently fixed up. The man told us he is giving us a $20 voucher to their restaurant when we use their hotel again. Fantastic, we planned to go back. Then, it became call after call because I didn't do it yet. The first and second calls were the day I checked out (Tuesday). The first was at 3:16, around 7 hours after I checked out. The second was around 8pm. The third, fourth and fifth calls were today (Wednesday). The third was at 10am. Fourth was at 8pm. And the fifth was at 8:30. I ignored the call and blocked the number. The fifth call was because I emailed him back, asking where I find the link to do the review. Instead of emailing me back, he tried to call. After I blocked his number, he emailed me. I haven't responded and won't be. The "voucher" was a picture of a business card with $20 written in the corner, a signature, and a serial number. Not sure how I would use it. This was creepy. Very pushy and uncomfortable. I don't think I'll be using the hotel again, unfortunately. We loved it otherwise..."

"Under Construction "

"Room was dirty, only enough towels for one person in the room. Bathtub stained from filth, holes in wall of shower and ceiling falling. Socks were stained from walking on the floor in the room. Gym was disgustingly filthy and in poor condition. In my opinion has never been cleaned. Hallway smelled and lingered from marijuana and cigarettes - no staff present to monitor or tell. 9P loud noises above room - when I went to desk could only speak to someone on a Ring camera. In my opinion it appeared no staff was on duty. Felt very unsafe and open to who knows what. In my opinion an unstaffed hotel leaves guest in a vulnerable position. In the morning I checked out after one of four booked. Was told via Ring camera again a receipt would be emailed. Never received a receipt. Hotel photos show the Ring Camera at front desk and in my opinion the other photos are not even close to depicting the actual condition of the property. If I can upload a few photos I will. There are other hotels near by which I would recommend. Cleaner and safe"

"Clean, staff were friendly and accommodating "

"Clean room, comfortable beds and helpful staff"

"Always a great place to stay. Great location, beautiful views. Great Hosts "

"Location is great ! Host responded quickly to questions. Camp needs updating and thorough cleaning. Pots and pans are in very poor condition, the few we used needed to be scrubbed before using, many were unusable. All silverware needed to be washed before using. Cabinet in the bathroom is falling off the wall. Listed as sleeps 14 but no more than 6 can eat at the kitchen table. Could not use the gas grill as the grates are covered in heavy rust. We have been staying in the area for many years and never been so disappointed. We will not rent this place again. "

"This cabin was perfect for my weeklong solo snowmobile trip. John was the perfect host! His cabin was clean, well-stocked, and offered excellent access to the snowmobile trails. If you’re looking for a great place to stay with plenty of parking for your trucks and trailers, and direct trail access, this is the place for you!"

"location, location, location. you cant beat this one! literally right on the lake! the owner texts back immediately when you ask a question. 10/10 stay. we will be coming back in the summer to stay again"
