St. Croix River Home in the Heart of Taylors Falls
A great escape awaits you in beautiful, historic Taylors Falls. Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street and is in one of the most scenic areas of Minnesota. Operating since 2013 and lovingly cared for by Cathie & Dave, Rivertime changed hands in the spring of 2021 and new owners Danette & Bill are eager to welcome you!
This historic river home was originally built as a single story 2 room homestead by settlers in 1880. With multiple additions this beautiful 5 level home now sleeps up to 10 people comfortably.
The Interior was completely updated with special attention paid to every detail. Our home has a large main level combined living /dining room area and a lower level family room great for relaxing and watching TV. It features five bedrooms, three of the bedrooms have queen beds the two other bedrooms each have two twin beds. The kitchen is fully equipped and has all new stainless appliances. A laundry room is available with a new washer and dryer. You will love the large 14'x 20' screen porch and relaxing on the deck as you take in the beautiful St. Croix River.
Surrounded by a challenging variety of outdoor recreational options, the small village on the St. Croix River can keep you active and interested with its small-town charm and natural beauty. MN and WI Interstate Park are within walking distance where you can enjoy miles of hiking trails, walk through glacial gardens, canoe, kayak or rock climb. You can even enjoy the scenic beauty by taking a River Boat Tour and watch eagles soar over the river.
Other recreational opportunities in the area include Gandy Dancer Trail for biking, hiking, and running, Taylors Falls Canoe & Kayak, Festival Theatre, St. Croix Valley Golf Course, Wild Mountain Water Park, Alpine Slides, Go-Karts, and Ski Area, Trollhaugen Ski Area, Adventure Mini Golf and Drive-In, St. Croix Falls Mini Golf and Go-Karts, Fawn-Doe-Rosa Wildlife Educational Park. Franconia Sculpture Park, and many great places to eat including the ubiquitous Drive-In (best burgers around).

Taylors Falls was named by World Atlas as one of the top ten most beautiful small towns in Minnesota: https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/10-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-minnesota.html (the list is alphabetical -- we're biased and believe we are in the top two!).

We had a wonderful friend reunion. This was our 4th time here, and we are making plans to return next year. The accommodations, location, and communication are all awesome.
Wonderful property in a peaceful location right in town. Great kitchen! Big open dining area/living room for gathering a big group. Comfortable and quiet bedrooms. So grateful for the ability use a beautiful home and the ease of communication!
This property was exactly what we were looking for on vacation. The house was perfect for us 2 families of 4 that traveled together. The screened in porch was a hot spot as well as fishing on the river. Really enjoyed a very relaxing week here! Hope to come back one day!
This property served all our needs for 8 women who enjoyed the back screened in porch, barbecuing on the grill, mini golf, root beer floats at the drive-in. We plan on coming next year!
Property was well stocked, clean and in a great location. Plenty of books and games and even a welcome gift. Lots of places to sleep and relax, the river access was great and fun to explore. Absolutely recommend this place!
This was a perfect place for relaxing. The screened in area is awesome!!! The river was fun to check out as well!!!

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Rivertime and we agree, the screen porch is a favorite! The St. Croix River and the communities up and down the watershed offer a lot to explore and experience! Thank you!
Such a beautiful home. Lots of space to spread out and that screened in porch was so awesome to be in. We were all very comfortable and happy to be together in this home. The manager made sure before our stay that we knew everything about the house and area. She was wonderful at connecting with us. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!
We held our annual ladies weekend at Rivertime and it was perfect for us! Lots of space and perfect location to walk through town and along the river. We loved the screen porch!

Thanks for the feedback. So happy you enjoyed your stay.
The five of us really enjoyed ourselves. The house is beautiful, roomy, and comfortable, and the kitchen well-stocked. The location right along the St. Croix River and on the main street of Taylors Falls was perfect for us. We plan to return again in the Fall.

Hooray! We are so pleased that your group enjoyed your stay at Rivertime. Yes, it is SUCH a walkable setting --- whether around the neighborhoods, up on Angel Hill, or into the State Parks! Hope to see you again, Anne!
This was our fourth stay at this property. The property is always well maintained and in great condition. We love the location, which is in a quite neighborhood. We certainly hope to return again next year for another stay.
We came to the area for a wedding and the house was perfect for our stay. We loved the screen porch and the location. It is right in town so we walked to restaurants and mini-golf. But it’s also set off the main street so it’s quiet. Owner/property manager was easy to work with and very accommodating and welcoming!

Thanks for your kind review. So happy your weekend was successful.
The house was perfect. In town but far enough away from traffic and noise. Great well stocked kitchen and glorious screen porch out back. Plenty of space for our two families. Great communication with Carol.
The property was exactly as expected! Plenty of space for our group of 6 adults and 2 small children. The house was easy to access and very clean! We loved the screened in porch and large dining area. Within walking distance of restaurants and hiking trails. We also enjoyed using the stairs to get down to the river! Definitely a great place to stay!

great extended family weekend
We had a great weekend at this property which included ages 7 to 79. It was very modern, clean, and comfortable. We LOVED the screened in porch. Everything in town is within walking distance, but the house still feels private.
