Red Pines 2 BR VIP "Sweet" with Lake View

KarenRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We were looking for a two bedroom with kitchen and living space to celebrate the holidays. The Red Pines Air BNB was perfect. It was cute, cozy and comfy. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The snow on December 23rd was perfectly timed. We live in Texas and don’t experience a winter wonderland very often. Watching the ice fishermen come and go was so entertaining! We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the cafe and two meals at the Red Pines Bar and Grill with family and friends from the area. All meals were excellent! We hope to make our Christmas at the Red Pines a tradition. Thank you Corinna and Mike!

ErikaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Amazing stay! Took the time to go on the canoe multiple days. If you like going fishing, you can’t get closer to water than this. Amazing price for what we got! I just wish there were some more extra blankets (only 1) and a couple different sized bowls (like mixing or popcorn bowls). Neighbors were super friendly and would always wave.

Reel Paradise at Shore Slough

SusanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We absolutely love this rental. The stunning view out the windows is breath-taking for us land-locked Iowans. Watching the eagles, barges, blue herons, fishing boats, fish jumping never grew old. The sturdy, safe dock is a wonderful place to spend time. Our daughter fished, I sat on the bench and read. So peaceful. We had an issue with the coffee maker. In fewer than 30 minutes, Jane brought another one for our use. She is great to respond to messages quickly, no waiting forever to hear from her. Such a considerate host. We were able to park our car in the garage which was a huge plus for me. The train track is pretty much in the front yard which is obvious from the pictures. The trains didn't bother us. Yes, they are somewhat loud, blow the whistle at Lansing, but we enjoyed watching them. The location was perfect for us to enjoy the surrounding towns and attractions. I would highly recommend Jane and her rental. I have nothing to complain about. Jane, thanks for your rental.
