This sprawling cabin is perched on the point of Grey Cloud Island, providing a one-of-a-kind view of the Mississippi River. Soak up the sweeping vistas and enjoy first-rate accommodations. Observe abundant wildlife along 2,400 feet of shoreline. RULES: Please read the following rules closely and do not book unless you're confident your group can honor these. The rules are designed to ensure that everyone has a positive experience and to preserve this special property so you can come back and enjoy it again and again! The general idea behind the rules is: "Respect our neighbors on the river, no rowdy parties, no noise after 10 pm...this is a quiet area in a national park. There will be serious consequences to ignoring these house rules so book elsewhere if you don't trust your group to follow rules." Friend groups who are gathering for birthday, bachelor, or bachelorette parties will be accepted on a CASE-BY-CASE basis. I am only able to rent to respectful groups who follow rules. If your group is planning to do a lot of binge drinking and partying with loud music, PLEASE find another location. This area is a family-friendly environment and we want to keep it that way. A $1,500 security deposit is required for all groups renting this home to enforce 5 house rules: HOUSE RULES 1) QUIET HOURS: 10 pm to 8 am – Enforced by the Township of Grey Cloud Island ordinance requiring complete quiet on the property starting at 10 pm. This means all outdoor activity and socializing must be brought inside by that time—no exceptions. Our neighbors up and down the river are extremely important to me, and I have a zero-tolerance policy on this rule. After 10 pm, no music or conversation should be audible outside—including to outdoor cameras or the noise-monitoring system on-site. Please avoid any unnecessary outdoor noise. As you appreciate peace and quiet at your own home, please extend the same courtesy to our neighbors so I can continue offering this space to guests like you. Again: 10 pm is the magic hour and everyone in your group must be aware of this time. Violation of this rule may result in a fine of up to $1,500 deducted from your security deposit. Airbnb’s Community Disturbance Policy also prohibits disruptive gatherings or excessive noise at any time of day. 2) NO SMOKING INDOORS: This includes but is not limited to cigarettes, marijuana and e-cigs/vapes. Smoking must be away from open doors and windows. You must pick up any cigarette butts or other smoking debris when smoking outside. If I find any evidence of smoking inside, a $1,500 fee will be taken from your security deposit plus the cost to remove the smoke smell. 3) GUEST LIST: The guest list must be provided 2 weeks before your stay and must match your actual guests. Any changes to the guest list must be approved before the guest is allowed on property. Please send first and last names and cell phone numbers in the message thread. Guests exceeding the number you selected when making your reservation are $50 per person per day extra. To prevent any miscommunication, a "guest" is defined as anyone that sets foot on the property during your stay (only exceptions are Uber/Lyft drivers and delivery people). Day guests and night guests are counted the same for fee purposes. Please understand an open guest list party is NOT ALLOWED and will result in an immediate cancellation of your reservation, and any guests over the amount listed when booking will be charged at $50/guest/day. I have a zero-tolerance policy toward unauthorized guests on the property and in the event of a noise complaint, IDs will be checked and anyone left off the guest list can result in immediate cancellation of your reservation. 4) NO PARKING ON THE GRASS: Park only on paved surfaces. 5) POOL & HOT TUB The hot tub and pool are available from 8 AM to 10 PM. Both the pool and hot tub close at 10 PM. This is according to township ordinance. If any outside noise is audible after 10 PM, we are violating this ordinance. • All kids must be supervised by an adult when using the pool or hot tub. Kids under 10 years old are not allowed in the hot tub. • No glass allowed in or near the pool or hot tub. No smoking in the hot tub as debris/ash causes damage to the hot tub components. • Use at your own risk. I request a $1,500 security deposit to ensure these all 5 rules are followed. If all 5 rules are followed, the security deposit is released within 72 hours of check-out time. Depending on the severity of the offense, either partial or full security deposit will be withheld. It is YOUR responsibility as the renter to communicate these rules to your guests. To pay the security deposit, I will make a Money Request through the website and, after your stay, the security deposit is refunded through the website within 72 hours assuming all 5 rules are followed. I do not enjoy being so strict and requiring this security deposit, but my overarching goal is to ensure a safe, smooth experience for everyone and to take care of this special place so you can return. I greatly appreciate your understanding. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ EARLY CHECK-IN: Early check-in/late check-out is available on a case-by-case basis. If I'm able to provide early check-in or late check-out, I charge $100/hour. When you request either option, please tell me exactly the time you are seeking. Pool is open from July 1 through Labor Day (8 AM - 10 PM). Depending on the weather, we may open it earlier in the season or keep it open later. The pool is not heated. The water can be quite chilly. Hot tub is open year round (8 AM-10 PM) PETS Dogs are allowed at a rate of $150/dog/stay. We have a 2 dog limit and these rules must be followed: 1\. No dogs on furniture. If your dog is used to that at home, please bring blankets or covers from home to cover furniture. 2\. Kennel your dog when away from the house. 3\. Give frequent potty breaks to avoid accidents in the home. If there is an accident inside, please do your best to clean it up and let me know. 4\. Must pick up after your dog in the yard 5\. Please don’t leave your dog unattended on the deck so that it barks. You are responsible for any damage to the property caused by your dog. Thank you for understanding. Cats are NOT allowed. PRIVACY: You'll have the whole place to yourself. ACCESS: You can drive to the island. A short bridge connects the mainland to the island. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transportation -

The views of the river are incredible. The cabin itself is spacious and attractively furnished. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, coffee station and fireplace. Christina was a terrific host and very responsive when we had questions. We're already talking about coming back in the summer to use the pool and canoe! The island would be stunning in any season! ##### Chris R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faye M. May 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### I fell in love again with the Mississippi River! from Grey Cloud Island! I have rented a lot of homes all across the country and by far this home met all of our needs and was our favorite rental. The enormous windows provided incredible views of the River that will take your breath away. The home had something for everyone. (Hiking, biking, finishing or just watching the sun set). My family and I were most impressed with the graciousness of the host and hostess. Christina the hostess created a personal scavenger hunt for the kiddos. She also left personal notes and a goodie basket for my daughter who graduated high school. We were just in awe of how those gestures made us feel. This house is truly amazing. I am a Southern girl who knows all about the Mississippi River and its power. This home and it’s proximity to the River had me wanting more of its peaceful waves! We have already decided that we will return next year. Book now! Best decision you will ever make. Thank you Christina and Ted.....The Mack Family ##### Faye M.

We held a wedding here, and set up the ceremony on the northern point of the lawn - it was so beautiful. The accommodations were wonderful - sleeping space for lots of people in large, private bedrooms. plus the two-level bunkroom. Huge kitchen, living room, and dining room, but perhaps the real gem here is the outdoor space - a very large patio with ample outdoor furniture, a lovely pool and lots of pool toys, and a hot tub to book! A few people in our party took the kayaks out for a spin on the river. The huge house was very clean, and everything we could have needed was included. Christina the owner was so helpful as we planned our trip, and provided so many lovely touches and treats to make our stay even more enjoyable. I cannot say enough good things about this property - it was a piece of heaven for our family wedding, and four day stay! ##### Gloria S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle F.

A great large home surrounded by trees and grass overlooking the Mississippi River. The countryside setting is only 20-30 minutes away from downtown. Great master suite overlooking the river with an additional 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the main floor. The top floor has another 3 bedrooms with a separate kitchen and bathroom. Several family rooms and endless outdoor space. A full in-ground pool and a dock on the river. We spent a week at the property and could not get enough. We hope to return soon. The host was very gracious and helpful. We were able to get Uber eats and Instacart for everything we needed. I would highly recommend this place. ##### Yeshaya W.

Oct 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### If you are able to do this, DO IT! Lovely property and amazing owners! We have a blended family of four adult children who have never spent a night with all of them under one roof with us. Since most of them are out of state, it was such a gift to be able to house them and feed them like they grew up that way. The greatest part was that they each had their own bedroom to retreat to for downtime. My husband has very limited mobility, due to a progressive neurological disease called MSA with Parkinsonism. Although he is not wheelchair bound yet, he does require a rollator and manual wheelchair combo. We appreciated the main house being one level so we could help him maneuver throughout and take strolls outside. We did well with much assistance from the kids, as he is still able to transfer with help. Seemingly, this would not work for a wheelbound person, as some of the doorways are narrow and the beds are high from the floor. Speaking of the beds...all six of us felt like we were on cloud nine in our beds! Beautifully done with plush comforters that cradle you into la la land. The hostess, Christina, was most awesome in her communications straight from the start. I feel like I got to know her so well over the three weeks of our preparations - I would certainly like to call this gem of a lady my friend. And her husband, Ted, came out at 10:30 one night to bring us a power strip for my husband's medical equipment. They are amazing...I just can't say enough! We will always cherish the family memories that were made there...the kids absolutely loved it and were so thankful for the time away in a beautiful place together. We took many family pictures and we will forever remember the island as our happy place. We will forever cherish our family time filled with love, laughter and joy! ##### Joni S.

Plenty of privacy, beautiful views of the Mississippi River and wildlife (we saw eagles fly over every day!), an amazing patio and pool area, and lots of space in the house for us to gather, play games, and eat together! Christina was a wonderful host, very responsive before, during, and after our stay! I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to host a small party, family reunion, or even just a quiet getaway! ##### Barb N.

The property is beautiful with so many amenities and Christina added so many personal touches to welcome us for our weekend. We all felt beyond lucky to be able to enjoy this property for the weekend! ##### Lauren O. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne H.

It is a breathtakingly beautiful spot, secluded but 15 minutes from amenities; exceptionally designed, large home with space for everyone to go to their corners when needed; incredibly thoughtfully and well-provisioned, and the owner is just so kind and easy to work with. This was worth every penny. ##### Anne H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darrell J.

We could see you are making even more improvements. Your property was close enough for us to visit. St. Paul and the Mall of America. Convenient to stores for groceries. We all loved watching the Eagles , deer, and activity on the river. ##### Darrell J. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel W.

House was spacious and dining and kitchen areas were fantastic for our group of 16. Christina was committed to helping us enjoy our Memorial Day weekend and created a scavenger hunt for our adult children. She was phenomenal. Kayaks, canoes, corn hole, horse shoes, with added balls, fishing poles (live bait!) and added resources was superb. Driveway was large enough to hold our pickleball tourney (we brought our net, paddles and balls). We had a great time and our kids want another family reunion here in 5 years. ##### David F.
