Talks about turning something but it is digital and you need to hit the lock symbol. Also, we brought steaks for the bbq seen in photo. It is a pellet stove. We are unfamiliar with that and there were no instructions. A beautiful...

The sheets and towels were clean and the kitchen was as well. It had everything we needed. It was nice to have accessed to a washer and dryer and a garage to store some of fishing stuff.

The location was ideal and the cleanliness and layout of the house were exactly what our group needed to socialize. Judie and Casey left great instructions to go in and out of the rental and how to ultimately clean it up when we left. Would definitely rent again if we decide to go back to the Brainerd area again!"
