Absolutely amazing! Arrived in the area earlier than expected and Erin let us check in early. The property is absolutely stunning. Perfect in every way. Location is perfect. So very easy to get back and forth into town. Many cute shops, restaurants, bars and coffee houses all very close. The trolly tour was nice and very informative. We wanted to do the river cruise but nothing was available that fit our schedule. The windows in the house face the beautiful grounds, we saw an amazing sunrise from the living room. That followed a day of rain which we actually appreciated! Gave us an opportunity to relax in the beautiful cottage just admiring the beautiful view. Also, plenty of comfortable seating out side to just relax with a morning coffee or nice evening glass of wine. We truly did not want to leave! Hope to return one day. Thank you Erin for making our 35th state visited amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at this clean and lovely lower level space. The attention to quality, detail and decor were unmatched. It overlooks the scenic St. Croix River and is close to historic Stillwater. It was comforting and relaxing. The hosts were responsive. We would definitely return.

A quiet hideaway in a great location

This is a beautiful property! It was also in the perfect location to be a quick trip to downtown or to various trails/restaurants/etc. while having no exposure to the summer weekend crowds!
