About this property

Marine Cargo at Ret Crown St Croix Unit 5

Marine School-house Garden Cottage apartment unit converted to VRBO. This bright 1 bedroom/1 bath second story apartment (with additional sleeping on a queen-sized hide-a-bed couch) has an up in the air, birds nest feel, as it overlooks the cobblestone court surrounded by woods and nature below. Walk to the historic General Store, Brookside Bar and Grill, Village Scoop ice cream (summer), St. Croix Chocolate Company, Stonehouse Museum (summer), local Lutheran Church, or bring your bike to ride some of the Saint Croix Valley's scenic roads and trails. In summer, bring your kids to a really great beach on Square Lake (just minutes away), to any of the river accesses to explore cliffs and river along the St. Croix. Or, bring your kayak or canoe to check out the beautiful river (access just below the General Store, William O'brien State Park, and many other places along the river). On weekends in summer, enjoy live music at the Brookside Bar and Grill (very short walk, see their website), visit Stillwater for antiques, riverfront parks, and additional restaurants (10 minute drive south). To the north check out the Gammelgarden Museum in Scandia (see website), Franconia Sculpture Park (see website), or try the zip line at Trollhaugen Aerial Adventure Park (northeast on Wisconsin side of river). During winter, cross country ski William O'brien Park's trails, venture to Trollhaugen Ski Area (17 miles) for tubing, snow boarding and skiing, or head ten minutes south to Stillwater for shopping and antiquing, great wine (Domacin Wine Bar), food (take your pick of many unique restaurants), or locally brewed beer (Liftbridge Brewery).

Pleasant cabin town getaway

We had a lovely long weekend away in Marine in St. Croix. The accommodations were clean and quite cozy. The town has everything you might need during a short stay. The area is quiet within easy distance of some wonderful state parks. Great hub to go out and enjoy the fall colors. The one downside is that the town has a loud siren that sounds anytime there is a medical or fire emergency in the area. Not too disruptive from the apartment, but pretty intense when sitting outside at the Brookside Pub.

Great location;unit needs updating

The location & cute town were excellent. Unfortunately the first impression was entering through a musty & dirty hallway that looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. Bedroom, & dining room were good. Bathroom linens and bedding were good.The living room carpet had stains and needs more lighting to allow for evening reading. The kitchen was adequate, but needs a mixing bowl, measuring spoons and more silverware. There were only 2 butter knives. Wine & coffee were a nice touch !The bathroom needs some major updating. It was generally clean, but had a stained bathmat covering spots and the tub surround had stains that were really unpleasant. There are few options for rentals in the area, so hate to be negative, but with some improvements and attention to detail this could be a great rental.

Great Stay

We were pleased with this simple and clean apartment. This place is all about location as you can walk across the street into Marine on St. Croix. It also served as a great home base for a weekend of river fun.

Clean property, nice owners!

Our stay was easy and conveniently located. The property was very clean inside, although the building itself is dated and it’s a very basic set up. Property owners were extremely nice, responsive and easy to deal with.

Perfect vacation, perfect location

Exactly as advertised. Totally enjoyed our stay, and would recommend to anyone looking for a vacation spot with plenty of activities to choose from close by, this is the perfect place. Marine on St Croix with its variety of small galleries and shops will take you back in time. And, all within walking distance.

Exactly what we wanted!

Just returned home after spending 5 days here and it was lovely! It was clean, well decorated and quiet. Yes, that bathroom is a little rough, but it did its job and it was clean! When we came in the AC was on, there was a bottle of wine and the electric candles were flickering. It was such a nice environment to come into after driving for nearly 3 days. It's far enough from everything to see the stars and hear the cicadas (a new thing for us) and close enough to everything to entertain the kids. I would gladly stay here again. Thank you!!

A week to de-stress!!

This is a darling place with so much character, and a wonderful friendly community. Dave and Robin are awesome, and so accommodating, too! I came here by myself to get some focused work done outside the office and was thrilled with the experience. Some great walking down to the river and up the hills into old Marine -- loved the church bells at noon and the curfew whistle at 9 pm. The Marine General Store truly has everything you could need from organic buffalo to a swell deli, the library was great fun, the fish fry at the Brookside was terrific -- and yes, the special touches Dave and Robin bring make it perfect -- I didn't get into my car for 5 days and it had cobwebs on it when I got back in -- what could be better??

We rode bikes and hiked near by trails

We came out to area for a couple days to ride bikes and hike the trails at O'brien State Park. We have stayed here several times before, in other units, and thought we would try this one as something different. We liked the bright and comfortable feel of it and slept well while there, but found carrying our bikes up and down the stairs each day a bit of an inconvenience -- not the end of the world but worth noting for people bringing bikes or ski equipment. We would happily stay here again.

Perfect Accomodations

This is a perfectly appointed unit in quaint Marine on St. Croix. Truly, everything you could possibly need (and more) is at your disposal. We arrived to a warm welcome from the owner along with some surprise touches that were far beyond what I'd ever experienced when renting a property. This is a perfect place to recharge and rest after enjoying the area recreation and sites. It's within walking distance to the local Brookside restaurant and bar and the Marine General Store - not to mention the beautiful St. Croix River. And if you can't completely "unplug" - there is free WIFI. Thanks for an awesome stay while we were in town for a wedding!

Not ready for prime time rental.

The photographed rooms are somewhat decent but what you don't see is the problem. A rough bathroom, sad kitchen, bad paint job throughout and poorly kept building. The caretakers are nice folks and respond quickly. I was under the impression it was a nice modern Swedish style place for a getaway by looking at photos but was disappointed at condition of the whole place. Price was low so your expectations should be also. Good for getting out of rain if you were camping nearby possibly.
