Beautiful Home

Had a weekend getaway with life-long girlfriends and we loved this place. The home was very spacious and had all the comforts of home. There were 5 of us and having 3 bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, decks and outdoor spaces made it perfect. We would definitely go back here.

A wonderful time

What a beautiful house! The details and effort that the host put in to make sure our stay was comfortable did not go unnoticed. We spent the weekend celebrating a bride to be, and the Colby Cottage was the perfect spot!

Amazing Home

Pics don't do this place justice. The owners have thought of everything and take great care. It was spotless when we arrived and so homey!! They even decorated the home with a Christmas tree and lights. So much space for all of us to spread out. Sleeping arrangements are carefully thought out and comfortable A fresh coating of snow right before we headed to the Miracle at Big Rock Christmas lights. The outdoor spaces were beautiful-would love to come back in the summer/fall. Can't say enough great things about this home-Spectacular

Beautiful home

This house is set up well for family gatherings. It was nice to sit on the deck and watch the birds with morning coffee. It’s right next to the road so there’s some traffic noise outside but not inside. There are no bedrooms on the main level and the stairs going to the second level are steep so I would not book this house for someone with mobility issues. The AC worked well and it’s beautifully decorated. Apartment-sized fridge.

Colby Cottage is our fifth short-term rental and our first in our hometown of Taylors Falls. We absolutely LOVE this home and the opportunity to showcase our very own St Croix Valley.

Why they chose this property

The walking distance to town with multiple options for live music, great food and the glacial potholes overlooking the St Croix River at Interstate Park make this place a fantastic spot to visit.

What makes this property unique

With living space spread out over 4 levels with 3 different decks and four bedrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to have their privacy.
