Pack n’ Play and high chair available. A few things to note: No events, parties, or additional visitors are allowed on site without prior permission. We love animals, but unfortunately serious allergies run in our family, so absolutely no pets are allowed on site. Smoking is not allowed on the property. Our neighbors are wonderful people who are very important to us. We ask that guests be thoughtful and considerate as they enjoy the property. Noisy activities must wrap up no later than 10pm. Guest access Guests are able to access the entire property with the exception of the owner's closet (which is locked) and knee walls. Other things to note There is one exterior security camera located outside, facing the driveway. Our water comes from a private well and is safe to drink. Because Crosby was historically a mining town, the well water contains naturally occurring iron, so the tap water may have a slight iron taste. We recommend bringing tea, Crystal Light, or another flavoring, or simply drinking it over ice, both help mask the taste easily. Air conditioning is provided via window units in each bedroom. Rabbit Lake is known for great fishing, especially walleye and bass.
