This timber frame Construction home truly gave you the nostalgia of country living. We came down to Marion to hunt ducks in the middle of a blizzard with five hard-core hunters. The place was perfect for all of us to spread out. The baseboard heat in the basement wasn’t quite enough to keep that part of the house warm. Other than that, we were shocked that propane tanks were not included with the gas grill. However, thank you to our wonderful host Alison her husband provided a propane tank of his own and drove through a blizzard to deliver it. I can’t say enough good things about Alison managing this place. Once we realized we had parking for our trucks across the street. It worked out perfectly. Unfortunately I didn’t get to appreciate the beautiful view because we were gone when it was dark and returned when it was dark. My son, however, stayed home one day and said it was Incredible and breathtaking. Just know it’s a very long drive back to the house on a winding hilly road. This is not a big deal of course unless there’s a blizzard. This of course added to the fun and makes you feel like a real expedition team. Let’s not forget the deer show every time you leave the house. The wood-burning stove was the highlight of this place and gave you that warm lodge feel that you dream of when you go to a winter cabin. They supplied everything you needed to cook and clean and I give this place a five star.

We had the best time in this beautiful house with absolutely awesome views. Allison was a wonderful host that checked on us throughout our stay. The home is well stocked with all the essentials. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on returning in the future.

What an amazing place. We had a great time. House was super clean and conveniently located. Fish were biting right off the dock. Even though it rained most of the time, we found things to do. The pool table and arcade game were great. Property managers were very easy to deal with. Zero problems! This was a great way to spend Father’s Day. We will be back.
