About this property

DURANT HOUSE-HISTORIC MANSION-DOWNTOWN WALKABLE-15 BEDS-15 SPACE PARKING LOT

Built in 1872, the historic Durant House is the idyllic Stillwater vacation rental. Perfectly poised on a gorgeous South Hill lot, this home is literally steps from downtown. The Durant House offers incredible indoor & outdoor spaces, with two porches that look to the river & lift bridge, with an elegance & open flowing layout. The kitchen is fully equipped with dining seating for over 17. The 1870s mansion offers all the expected modern amenities. The main level has large spaces, including a kitchen, dining room, great room, one ensuite queen bedroom, centrally located half bath and large wrap around porch. The second level has three full baths. The master suite has a king bed, queen bed and adjoining bath. Two other rooms down the hall offer two full and one queen size beds. Sleeping porch with two twin beds. The third level is open concept, with a game room, media area with comfy couches, 6 twin and one full bed.
Host and staff live locally and are happy to assist with any questions during your stay.
The Durant House is only steps from downtown Stillwater, so no need to start your cars, as almost all attractions are a very short walk away. The off street parking lot accommodates 15 cars, as Stillwater does not allow vacation rentals to use street parking. The famous "Main Street Steps" will take you right into the heart of it all. Teddy Bear Park is one block away, perfect play area for younger children. One block from historic court house, perfect for wedding party members. We do not rent to bachelor parties, as house is located in quiet neighborhood. Families are welcome.

If you need more space, ask about adjacent vacation rentals, Grandview Cottage & Grandview Loft.

Guests will be texted directions and check in instructions the morning of the booking. Upon arrival the guest is required to sign a City required disclosure form that communicates ordinances and rules.

I am a long-time resident of Stillwater and have a passion for the history and architecture of this beautiful little city. I love to show it off to visitors.

Why they chose this property

The Durant House is perfect for wedding groups in town for a wedding event and bridal celebrations!

The location is ideal for Historic Court House weddings, only one block away, and the downtown area is full of music and good food for those bachelorettes.

Family gatherings will enjoy all the space the huge house and beautiful yard provides.

What makes this property unique

The Durant House is perched on the bluff overlooking the downtown area of Stillwater, with amazing views of the river valley. The house is one block from the Historic Court House (weddings), one block from Teddy Bear Park, 2 blocks to Main Street Stairs (steps to downtown).
with all the shops and restaurants.

The house can accommodate large number of guests, along with 15 beds and 15 off street parking spots, which is convenient, as the City of Stillwater requires that guests park on-site, not on street.
