Other things to note FYI: In the State of Minnesota, having a well, running water and flush toilets is not allowed on island like this. Under these circumstances, this translates into somewhat of a back-to-the-basics experience, such as heating up water on the stove for dishes and showers. Similarly, the compost toilet may be a new experience for some. There is a shower head with a built in pump that allows for comfortable showers. Please keep in mind that this is not a normal house in town and these measures are necessary to protect lake water quality.
