About this property
Modern & cozy - sleeps 12! Right at Trailhead
Join us at Red Dirt Retreat for an up north escape. Enjoy fat tire biking, ice fishing on the surrounding lakes or mine pits, cross country skiing on the well-groomed trails. Your large group will be right at home in this casual, but elegant 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom that comfortably sleeps 12. Beds are super comfy. Linens are top of the line. Kitchen is fully stocked for cooks. Garage is heated and has a foosball table and ping pong table.
2 blocks to bike trail access and then less than 5 minutes by bike or walk to the Portsmouth Mine Pit Lake and connections to all the trails.
Home has an open concept main floor with comfortable living room and 65 inch smart TV with all your favorite apps, large dining room that comfortably seats 12 and a chef’s kitchen packed with appliances and tools.
One main floor bedroom (king) with a connected full bath). Main floor large hall space with full size bike trail maps, indoor and outdoor games, puzzles, books and more to enjoy. Door leads to a partially covered outdoor deck and yard. Updated fire pit coming!
There are two separate second level living spaces! One in the front of the house with three bedrooms and a full bath (1 king, 1 queen, 2 fulls). One in the rear of the house with a bunk room (4 twins) and a 3/4 bath (shower, no tub).
Basement laundry room stocked and available for guest use.
Whole house is accessible to guests, including garage
On site hosts, Ryan and Sara, are available throughout your stay and easily reached via text or phone.
This great home is just 10 blocks off Highway 6 (main road through town). The neighborhood is quiet and the house sits on the corner between two dead-end streets, so car traffic and noise is minimal.
There IS a nice stream of bike traffic, though! This home is 2 blocks from the bike trailhead that leads to Portsmouth Mine Pit Lake and it’s associated trails.
So close to everything Crosby has to offer!
