Host was spot on with communication. We loved the location - close to trail heads and downtown Crosby. Plenty of stuff if you forgot it - having a little bin with kitchen stuff was helpful!

The house was very clean and there was everthing advertised in the Vrbo ad . I would highly recommend this place . If your coming the mountain bike or just need a place to stay while in the lakes area . You wont regret it and it has plenty of room for a few couples. And large yard with a center pole to hook a dog to so your fur baby can be with you outdoors.

Check in and out was easy. Rooms and spaces were neat, clean, and organized. It was nice that the basics were already there: spices, plastic bags, permanent markers, towels, etc. Communication with owners was great!

This home is pretty much has everything you will need! It’s very conveniently located to the Main Street. With the exception of driving to see our son’s hockey sessions we didn’t move the car at all. I

Overall great, but shower tile could have been cleaner. Easy access to trails. Had games and firepit, outdoor bar shed, fun turntable and albums. No dishwasher if you'll have a lot of dishes.
