Great place to stay! Clean with great amenities!

Some friends and I came into town for a wedding, and this was a perfect place to stay that was close to town and also close to the river to enjoy kayaking, fishing, and tubing. We loved that it was dog friendly too!

The house worked very well for our vacation. It is well situated for cross country skiing.

Our family of four and our small dog had a nice vacation cross country skiing at various locations in the area. The cozy house was well stocked and clean.There was enough room for four of us and two cars in the driveway. The quiet town of Roscommon is close by for supplies.

The place was nice and what we wanted. We were only there to sleep as we were gone during the day. Location was only 15 or 20 minutes from the state campground where most of family were. We would stay there again...

5 stars. Would stay again.

The location was close to everything that you could need. Groceries. Take out, dine in. The dog beach at the south state park was about a 12 minute drive which was just fine for us. The house was stocked with everything that we needed. It was clean and spacious for two of us and our large breed dog.

Positives: location close to cute town and river, pet-friendly, quiet, safe neighborhood. Easy car ride to lakes and parks. We enjoyed the farmers market and coffee shop. The rocks were great.Negatives: surprised to find the place NOT clean based on other reviews raving about the cleanliness. They was feces on the front toilet seat and smeared in the bowl, the corners of the floors and bathrooms had hairs and cobwebs in them, the shower drain had a hairball in it, several hairs in the bedsheets. Several dishes were dirty. We were only there two nights, so we did just clean up ourselves, but cleanliness is of huge importance to me when renting a place, so this was quite a turnoff. I also found it sketchy that instructions hanging on the fridge said to “NOT” strip the bedsheets. How then do we know that they get washed? The back bedroom was chilly and the beds were not comfortable (the couch served as a comfy alternative.) Other than that, the only communication we had from Ed was right after we booked with all of the information. There was no reminder to confirm and no message asking if everything was okay. I am used to more communication from the owners with those types of things. We use STRs often. If you’re not too picky about these things, you’ll probably enjoy this property.
