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.
