About this property

Secluded in-town get-away close to Interstate Park. 45 min from Mpls/St Paul

Beautifully renovated four-bedroom, three-bath getaway tucked into the Taylors Falls hillside only a short walk from the quaint downtown and Interstate Park. Perfect for groups and easy access to local attractions from Wild Mountain to local wineries, The St Croix River, or one of the many nearby wedding venues.

The home is fully furnished with all linens, towels, and cookware you will need for your stay as well as basic soaps. There is a chest freezer, kitchen fridge, and two beverage refrigerators. The laundry room is open for you to use with a full-size washer and dryer.

The bedrooms, baths, and living spaces are spread over 3+ levels. The top two levels host the main suite with a vaulted ceiling and private rooftop deck. The second level also features a full bath and 2nd guest room. All the guest rooms have dressing tables and mirrors. There are no main-level bedrooms. The walkout lower level has a private bedroom, full bath, and a media room that also functions as a private suite.

The home is perched above and surrounded by a deep ravine. The creek runs year-round from the natural springs, and the topography gives the home a very private feel. It's a short 5-minute walk to the entrance to Interstate Park and where you can see over 200 potholes of various sizes can be found carved into the basalt bedrock at Interstate State Park. The park is a fantastic setting for hiking and photography overlooking the St Croix River.

Perfect Getaway
We had the best time! The house exceeded our expectations, felt just like home. It had plenty of room for our big group and lots of space for the kids to spread out. Cozy and comfy and decorated beautifully. Definitely would love to return.. also very close to trollhaugen.
