Check in/out times are flexible. We have it set at check in between 5-10pm and check out at noon. We understand folks want to enjoy our slice of heaven so early check-in or late check-out can be arranged depending on schedule and availability. We're almost always here but if not, lockbox with code. You can have 100% privacy in our AirBNB space and you have a private entrance. We really enjoy meeting people from all over the world. So, if you want a little interaction with us and we're around, we'd love to meet and enjoy a coffee or glass of wine with you. You make the call! The uniqueness of our neighborhood is that we have the lake on one side and a long driveway to the road. Thus, we only have 2 neighbors! We are on 2.6 acres and our backyard is a 100 acre lake. On the other side of the lake is all nature park land with lots of trails to walk or bike on. You can walk to downtown Victoria or take a 10 minute drive or 30 minute bike to downtown Excelsior. We are conveniently located close to all the amenities you need (grocery, gas, Target) but you will feel like you are in the country. Our neighborhood is very private! There are just 30 homes on 1 acres lots on the lake and 1/3 of the lake is nature preserve. There are bike/walking trails right out the door. You will enjoy the peaceful, tranquil environment feeling like you're in the north woods but still be within 10 minutes of anything you need! With the privacy of our neighborhood comes the desire of neighbors to have their privacy. Please do not go in neighbors yards. There’s plenty of room to wonder on our land and boundaries are pretty evident with fence and landscaping. We are also very close a great dog park. We do not have much for public transportation near by. We are 30 minutes from the Mpls/St Paul airport by car or cab. We consider pets on an individual basis. We request a $30/night added charge per pet. After all, our pets are human right?! If you are coming with a 3rd guest that is your child, let us know for a discount on 3rd guest. If you have your own boat and would like to play on the lake, we also have access to the boat launch, space to park your trailer. Additional fee. Inquire. You may use our kayak, canoe, paddle boat and paddle boards. We have life jackets as well. Inquire on use of and where to get life jackets. We have laundry for use for our longer term guests. Additional fees may apply. Inquire if you are interested. We have a sauna. It’s great! The light switch is outside the door. The control module is inside the sauna. It’s pretty self explanatory. If you have questions, inquire. There is no need to put water on the rocks and we passionately request you do not. It is highly likely you will trigger our smoke detector if you do. If the fire department comes, we may require you to pay the false alarm fee. So, it’s best to not put water on the rocks. If by chance you do splash some on and open the door letting a boat load of steam out, be prepared for the alarm!
