Guest access
The Driveway is slightly long and windy and is comprised of gravel and dirt (as is Joten Lake Road that leads to the property -- it can be slightly muddy when wet!). There is plenty of parking for guests. Please drive slowly down the dirt road as it is very curvy and the area has a lot of deer.
The caretakers are sisters who have grown up in the area and are just a phone call away, they will check in sometime during your stay to make sure everything is going great. The rental space is all yours, you have your own kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and space! Keep in mind that the upper level and the grainery may be rented out at the same time, but there is a private entrance to this space along with a separate fire campsite for them. The laundry room is the only shared space located in the lower level with Jack and Jill doors. Feel free to use the laundry as needed -- and help yourself to laundry soap!
The Grainery guest house has heat and AC but no running water or bathrooms.
There is an outhouse near the Grainary.
The door to the garden level apartment has an electric door lock, as do each of the private entrances of the Grainery; you will be able to pick your own 4 digit code upon arrival. There is a security system however we manage it to be off when guests are expected to arrive.
We DO NOT encourage pets and yet if you bring your pet there will be a $100 additional fee.
Other things to note
The area has local dining, bike/snowmobile trails, fishing/ice fishing, hunting, other services like massage and local artists. There is a nature center in Fergus Falls, some great local museums in Alexandra and Fergus Falls. There are swimming areas and golf courses in the area as well -- we highly recommend Stalker Lake Golf Course about 15 minutes away; they also have a great dining on-site!

I love anyplace people can come together and enjoy the great outdoors and then come to a comfortable home to cook a great meal and share good conversation with people you love. I hope you enjoy my homes and the area as much as my family, friends and I have.
