About 40 feet

2) Heartland trail. How far from house?

The Heartland Trail is about 2 miles from the house.

The Heartland State Trail was one of the first rail-to-trail projects in the country. It is a 49 mile multiple-use trail between Park Rapids and Cass Lake. The Heartland State Trail also connects with the Paul Bunyan State Trail system and other regional trail systems.

To connect from the Heartland Trail entrance closest to the house to the Paul Bunyan trail its about 23 miles.

3) Can you swim in the River?

The River is clean and clear. However, the area around the dock is a bit Marshy. When my kids and I want to swim at this home we take out the kayaks, there's a sandy beach park a short kayak ride away and there are a number of nice sandy areas on the lake for swimming. Please make sure to wear life jackets and that anyone that cannot swim is properly monitored. Swim at your own risk.

Cancellation policy and procedures

Our goal is to keep our prices as competitive as possible, in order to keep them competitive it's important that we avoid the losses that come from cancellations.

Owners of these properties depend on the income and last-minute cancellations result in lost revenue through vacancy and lower prices.

For those that don't like the risk that comes with cancellation policies, we strongly recommend you look into travel insurance. We can recommend one for you.

If you didn't purchase the travel insurance offered by the booking channel, or the one we recommend, you will likely not get any refund.

To ask for an exception to our policy you must first cancel through the booking channel. Exceptions are up to individual owners and are very rare. Your best chance is to ask for a credit to be used for a booking for the same property.

The credit can to be used within the window you cancelled. Ie. If you cancel 3 days before your stay and the owners payout is $4500, you didn't purchase travel insurance you may ask for a credit to be used to reserve the same property no more than 3 days before the drag you want to use the credit for.

Example request.

"I had to cancel because my kids are sick. I didn't purchase the recommended travel insurance. My stay is 3 days away. I'm requesting a credit for the owner payout amount to be used to reserve the same property 3 days before our stay. I.e, we want to stay August 23rd so I will make a request on August 20th if the unit is still available.

Thanks."

We will share this with the owner and encourage them to allow us to agree.

No exceptions will be made if the process is not followed.

Sincerely,

Everyday Luxury Inc.
