The home features both a main dock and a guest dock, perfect for tying up a boat or casting a line.

WINTER WONDERLAND AND ICE FISHING HAVEN
Winter at the lake is equally magical. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace or head outside for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and fat-tire biking. For quieter moments, enjoy movie nights on one of the three smart TVs or dive into puzzles and board games with your group.
AND MORE!
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the Cuyuna trail system, just blocks from the house. Bike or walk the famous red dirt trails or the paved paths for a scenic adventure. An on-site bike rack provides easy storage. The home is also within walking distance of downtown Crosby’s best attractions, including the Cuyuna Brewery, Iron Range Eatery, and several charming cafes and shops.
Park your car for the week, unwind by the lake, and explore all that Crosby has to offer. With its perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and relaxation, this lake house is truly a year-round destination. Your next memorable vacation starts here!
Other things to note:
* Local trash pickup is on Friday morning
* Smoke-Free Space – Please keep the indoors fresh for everyone—no smoking inside. (A $300 cleaning fee applies if detected.)
* No Parties or Events – You’re welcome to invite day visitors and enjoy small get-togethers during your stay. We just ask that you keep things respectful — no large parties, events, or activities that might cause extra mess, damage, or disturb the neighbors.
* Guest List – For everyone’s safety and comfort, only registered guests are allowed unless we’ve chatted and approved otherwise.
* Quiet Hours – Let’s keep it cozy from 10 PM to 8 AM so everyone (including the neighbors!) can relax.

* Water Shoes Recommended! For your comfort and safety, we recommend bringing water shoes if you plan to enjoy the lake. Serpent Lake has zebra mussels, and they can be a little rough on bare feet.
