Relax on the screened front porch and enjoy the slower pace of small-town life
Location: Stillwater, Minnesota, USA (Twin Cities, Mall of America, Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
(As we are a Spa destination, one spa service at adjacent Just For Me Spa is required for each guest during their stay at the Retreat home.)
This cozy, two-bedroom Cottage is perfect for a couples' romantic getaway or as the "R & R" destination for up to four people.
The Cottage is a charming, turn-of-the-century bungalow, with a screened porch in front complete with a swing built for two. The upstairs full bathroom features a claw-foot tub for a relaxing soak after a day of shopping or sightseeing. Lovely original oak woodwork and floors shine with the care that went into restoring and furnishing this immaculate home. In the back of the house, an enclosed porch off the fully-equipped galley kitchen has a bistro-style dining set and looks out onto a private, shady yard. A country-style dining room, right off the kitchen, seats four comfortably.
The Cottage is one block from Len's, a full-service grocery store with a meat and deli counter featuring Boar's Head products, homemade salads, soups and other items for a spur-of-the-moment picnic or late-night snack. A half-block away is our favorite ice-cream store, Nelson's, with the largest ice cream cones you've ever seen (a child-sized portion is more than enough; be daring and try the Lumberjack--if you finish it, they'll take your picture and post it in the store).
Within walking distance is the historic business district of Stillwater, the birthplace of Minnesota. Watch the eagles soar along the St. Croix, a designated Wild and Scenic River. Step back in time as you shop for antiques and unique gifts on Main Street. Hungry? Choose from an array of restaurants and pubs: Mad Cappers for hamburgers, sandwiches and soups; Savories Bistro for homemade desserts and a fabulous weekend brunch; the Dock Cafe or Marx Wine Bar for upscale dining.
Whether you come to Stillwater to shop, dine out or live the small-town life for a while, the warm, cozy and romantic Cottage will be the most memorable part of your visit.
