Marine On St Croix Retreat, Unit 1

The School House Apartment was really quiet, had great water pressure with plenty of hot water, and firm beds. The kitchen was functional, but a little tired. The humidity has been hard on the wood finishes, what you’d expect from an older MN summer home. We appreciated the shampoo/conditioner and hair dryer provided. Coffee and a hodgepodge of grocery we’re also provided. Some tea bags would have been a nice addition. Kitchen could also use salt and pepper shakers and tongs.

My husband and I had never been to Minnesota and originally had planned to stay in Stillwater. It was rather expensive since Lumberjack Days was in full swing. Instead I found this apartment in nearby Marine on St. Croix. What a charming little town! I enjoyed shopping at general store and we had a great meal at Brookside Bar & Grill. It was also easy access to Stillwater (which is also charming) and the Twin Cities. David, our host, made sure we had everything we needed. We learned what Minnesota Nice meant. We would definitely recommend the place. My only suggestion would be to add ottomans for the living room chairs to be more comfortable.

Great! We stayed over the Holidays, wonderful holiday touches inside and outside. David met us at check in, we enjoyed our stay. Definitely will be back!!

Accommodations were great! Communications with the owner very helpful and timely. Would stay again - beautiful area. Great food within walking distance. Thank you!
