Overview of Stillwater Vacation Rentals

Stillwater Vacation Rentals Offer a Step Back in Time

A vacation in Stillwater, MN is like stepping back to the gentler era of Victorian charm, with all the advantages of 21st-century amenities, of course. The beautiful St. Croix River Valley is like a forgotten jewel amidst unspoiled wooded hills and river valleys. The downtown district of Stillwater celebrates where Minnesota was born, where famous outlaws were imprisoned and fortunes were made by pioneering lumber workers. The town has some charming antique and gift shops, art galleries and restaurants on Main Street and the oldest surviving courthouse in the state.

Minnesota Vacation Rentals Make the Perfect Homes away from Home

Stillwater cottages and lake homes are the ideal places to spend time in the scenic countryside. Whether you have a group of two or 10, there is a vacation home to suit your needs. Vacation homes make the ideal bases for enjoying a leisurely breakfast before exploring the area each day. Return home each evening to a comfortable bed and warm fire on chilly evenings. The fully equipped kitchen and washer-dryer will be useful and both are big advantages over hotel room amenities. Preparing meals for the family is easy and will save money which can be splurged on extravagances such as a day at the spa or a balloon trip.
