This is the coolest MTB-themed Airbnb you'll ever stay in right in the heart of the action in downtown Crosby - steps away from restaurants, shops & trails. It's a little bit bike museum, little bit historic, a little bit chic Euro-modern. Our guests tell us they love bike-themed atmosphere & touches, convenience and accessibility. If you're looking for a distinctly different Airbnb, book your stay now. BONUS: store your bikes in the original 1930s bank vault (heated + oh, so, very secure). We fell in love with Crosby , the Cuyuna trails and this historic 110-year old First National Bank building. We have lovingly renovated the original 2nd floor former bank president/VP offices into an 1,100sqft unique space that pays homage to Crosby & biking (seven collectable bikes adorn the walls). The oversized commercial glass fridge holds all your food/beverages, while the euro-modern kitchen let's you whip up the basics for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Watch your favorite YouTube vids or listen to your Spotify station on the 75" TV (super-fast WiFi) in the kitchen/hangout space. Upscale beds & bedding/100% cotton towels & sheets/vanity+hair dryers+mirrors in each BR (frees up the shower/bathrooms) to make getting ready for your next adventure a breeze. 101 West Main/Vault There are four professional businesses (one is Sherry's Barber Shop - guys get a trim while you're here!) on the main level of the building in addition to the original 1930s bank vault (locked keypad entry) where you will store your bikes. During regular work hours, please be respectful & courteous as you wheel your bike down the hallway into the vault. In addition to also being MTBers, we love to collect & ride vintage cruisers, so you'll see our bikes in the vault. Stay foot-loose and fancy-free by leaving your bike gear (e.g. helmet, shoes, jerseys) locked safely in the vault. GOTTA LOVE Those High Ceilings! The Bike Vault apartment is located on the 2nd floor - there are 22 steps that you walk up to access the apartment (no elevator). We run the heat/air 24/7 to keep the temperature/humidity constant (keeps dust/allergen levels down), so please leave the windows and doors closed. Thank you! Store your bikes in the main-level Vault. No Pet Policy While we love pets, we want to be sensitive to those with allergies (to keep our space as clean & fur-free as possible), so we have a No Pet Policy. You are renting the entire 2nd floor 3BR Loft that includes a full kitchen, dining area, spacious hallway w/storage bench & bicycle-themed hooks, the Bike Library (living area), 3 themed BRs, full bath & half-bath. Email/Phone anytime w/questions. When you stay in The Bike Vault (TBV), you're right in the heart of downtown Crosby - restaurants and shops are just steps away!
