The property is absolutely incredible. The wood work and decoration had do much time and effort put into it that it is indescribable. You walk in the front door and you are transported into a different world entirely. The only reason i give it 4 stars would be that it is a perfect location for any outdoorsman during normal conditions, but my stay was during a heavy rain season so the entire surrounding area was heavily flooded and there were no opportunities to do anything besides stay inside and watch TV, dont even get me started on the mosquitoes. Also the area is a cellular deadzone so there is minimal to no reception what so ever. The neighboring town is very small and has very minimal options for entertainment. The best time to stay here would be when the wetlands are at their dryest or wintertime so you can take advantage of the wilderness opportunities. The property owners Are the sweetest of people and I would absolutely recommend this location to anybody.

Cozy, Brighter than the Photos, Plus Goats!

My partner and I stayed two nights for Fiesta Days. This was a cozy, clean spot in a good location. It was brighter inside than the photos show, which was nice. Plus, there are two goats on the property, which was an unexpected nice surprise!

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay after some very hot (99) days at the Heritage Hill tractor show. It was nice to return to this quiet and cool little retreat after being in the heat all day to watch a movie and just relax. So much neat decor to admire.

Unexpected Gem

My wife and I recently spent 10 days at this unique and lovely place. The decor is one of a kind with features and decorations designed by the owner who is an accomplished wood worker and a well known and respected artist in the area.Kitchen was nice for such a long stay and outfitted with everything you need. (stove, microwave, toaster oven, fridge and two coffee makers!) We were able to make many meals for ourselves.Bathroom is a little small but works fine.Washer and dryer is in its own laundry closet. It is certainly handy.It is quiet too.

Montevideo serene studio

This was a great place to stay, it has the feeling of a cross between a north woods cabin and an antique shop! You can spend hours looking at all the different things on the wall! The place was very clean and neat, there is ample parking and plenty of room for turning trucks and trailers around! The only draw back is there’s only one bed room so you better be comfortable with the people you’re there with! All in all it’s a great property and I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area!
