Nicknamed "Owasso Marina" we have always had several docks and water toys (kayak, floaties, paddle bikes and paddle boat) which we will provide the same for our valued guests. Additionally, guests can try fishing, waterskiing, boating, or swimming during the warmer months and ice fishing, skiing, snow shoeing, ice skating and snowmobiling during the frozen months. Pets 1-2 well behaved, 100% housebroken dog guests allowed. Must be discussed and approved by owners before final booking. When human guests are away, the dog guest must be crated. There will be an additional fee for dog guests. Guest access Guests have access to the entire 1st floor and master bedroom loft that overlooks the living room and dining room. They can enjoy the lake views from the deck off the living room and the lower patio and deck space at the lake level. A separate dock is available for any guests that wish to bring a watercraft. There are several other water toys and life jackets available, if needed. Door to basement is locked for homeowners use. If we visit the basement, it will be through the lake side basement door and will only be for short periods of time for business operations. Other things to note Our home is located on a paver stone private drive that parallels a railroad track. There are 8 intimate homes on the drive and it’s just over a car width wide, so please do not park in the roadway in order to allow the neighbors ample room to come and go. The roadway is a driveway for our homes and often times the neighbors, their kids and/or pets are socializing, playing or working in the yards, driveways or the roadway…so please drive slowly and don’t hesitate to wave, stop to say “Hi!” and introduce yourself! Possible noise Private drive parallels railroad track which may run during daylight hours. An 8-10 car train runs 5mph and sounds horn at the top of the hill for car traffic. It’s part of our “up north” atmosphere in the middle of the Twin Cities!
