Fat bike trip

House worked great for our 6 guys in Cuyuna to ride the winter trails. House was clean and warm upon arrival. Check in was super smooth. House is within walking distance of downtown Crosby with food and brewery options and also within riding distance to the main trail head. Management was very responsive. Fully recommend the gnome home.
