Girls trip at the Soo

We enjoyed staying at the VRBO at the Soo! Our host was very welcoming and even remembered to let us know that there was a good chance that we could see the Northern lights while we stayed there. Thanks Julia for everything!

Positive Vibes

It is a nice property. We stayed there in August & September 2024. On our September stay most of Soo lost power. They sent a message making sure we were aware. Thankfully by the time we returned to house we had power. If you have an issue with stairs this may not be the place for you. Stairway is narrow. Also, make sure to bring toiletries as it was not supplied. First place that I've been too that did not have all those items. Overall, this was a great place to stay, property manager was very responsive & we would stay again in future visits.

Perfect access to trails

Love staying here. This was our third time and we'll be back again. Perfect access to snowmobile trails and close to everything I'm the Soo. Best stocked kitchen of any VRBO house I've stayed in.
