Exquisite Country Setting
The grounds and surrounding landscape were absolutely idyllic - we were even treated to a pair of sandhill cranes strutting near the backyard ponds! The house offered excellent space for numerous guests, and had good sleeping arrangements for the 11 adults in our group, tho we would be hard pressed to see how 3 more would fit (the description said sleeps 14). The decor and furniture were rather dated, and the BBQ space proved to be dangerously smoky when used as the exhaust fan did not work and ventilation was entirely inadquate. These issues were the only real drawbacks to an otherwise perfect facility for a group/family gathering.

Lovely setting, huge house
This property was great for our family reunion. Six of us stayed there, but the house was a great gathering place for all 20 of us. Lots of room to be together; lots of places to break out into conversational groups that ebbed and flowed. We particularly enjoyed the two porches and walking the extensive grounds.

A Fantastic Getaway Location
Clean, spacious, and scenic. A recommended private space to have big groups in comfort. Large beautiful private yard with its own pond as well as multiple spacious interiors, sun-room, screened patio, game room basement and a nice backyard hot tub. Home is full of natural light and kitchen has lots of space. Comfortable clean bathrooms. All only a 15 minute drive from most shops/food but the house is surrounded by scenic woods and fields and just the sounds of nature . A fantastic place! We stayed to visit the House on the Rock for a great long weekend.

Nice But a Few Issues
The house had tons of space and the property was awesome. Kitchen was well stocked with various items and lots of condiments in the fridge. Big issue was the inaccuracies in the listing. The number of bedrooms was incorrect and the number of adult guests it said it could sleep was incorrect. We were short 1 bed for two adults vs what was described on the listing. I messaged the owner about this and he never replied. We ended up having to buy a air mattress. There was no check in or check out procedure anywhere. Not in the listing or at the property. We did our best when checking out but without instructions it’s hard to know what they want you to do. Neither of the gas fire places worked and the hot tub temperature wouldn’t get fully up. Lastly after checkout the owner without messaging me requested an additional $100 for not putting away dishes and for some stain that he was unable to provide evidence of. You cannot charge for not put the dishes away when you don’t give explicit instructions. Overall it suited the need for the weekend skiing with a large group but needs a bit of effort from the owner to improve the listing.

About the host

Host profile image
My name is Scott Niebuhr, I work for UW Provisions. The President of the company owns this house and is excited about it being rented out. We are easy going fun people who love to stay active working on may different projects around the property. I am always available by phone and typically nearby the house to answer any questions you may have.

Why they chose this property

This property is unmatched with its scenery. The two ponds located in the back yard usually have lots of birds and wild life. The distance around them is 1/4 mile perfect for a run morning noon or night. All of the beds and Couches are very comfortable. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom and there is a jet tub in the master. The double oven is one of the many great features in the fully stocked kitchen, There is a propane grill just off the kitchen in the grill room with a hood fan! In the basement you can enjoy a wet bar, ping pong, pool table, and the hot tub. there is even a private parking lot.

What makes this property unique

Unique to this home is how close the snowmobiling trails are, they happen to ride through the edge of the property so you can jump on them easily but will not even notice them when relaxing in the home. U Ridge has the best golf and cross country skiing it is only 7 miles away. Tyrol basin is only 10 minuets away and is a great place to spend a weekend downhill skiing. If you like fat tire biking or mountain biking you can find plenty of trails. The military ridge bike trail is 1 mile from the house and it leads to some of the most beautiful trails around.
