Enjoyed relaxing in this nostalgic cottage. Cooked meals, local hiking and visited nearby towns, canoeing, the fireflies were extra!

Great St Croix Get Together!!!
This is an incredibly authentic cabin and in such a gorgeous location; literally overlooks the St Croix There’s a nice, large screened in porch with comfy wicker furniture to enjoy all the natural beauty.The cabin is fully furnished and is very “cozy”. Kathy (the owner) provided us with all the information we needed for a nice visit to Hudson & Stillwater. We all agreed we’d love to come back for another stay soon!

Second time at this charming St. Croix cabin
This rustic but comfortable cabin is the perfect getaway just an hour from the twin cities! We’ve enjoyed kayaking, relaxing on the screened porch, and listening to the owls. The owners are very responsive and friendly!

We loved our time in this adorable cabin with a perfect view of the beautiful St Croix River. The cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing week. The screen porch was the perfect setting for a reading, playing games, and watching the sunset! The hosts are exceptionally gracious.

Nostalgic cabin
Upon walking into the cabin for the first time, we were struck by nostalgia. It was like walking into my grandma's lake cabin from years ago when she wouldn't let us change anything! Loved it! There's plenty of space to spread out, comfy and cozy beds, tons of reading material, lovely family area that would seat quite a few. The screened in porch was great for visiting while gazing at the river and the sleeping porch was wonderful. I would highly recommend a visit to this step back in time. =)

Gorgeous setting
Great river beauty, so much fun to jump in. Private, quiet, wonderful sleeping. Fun kayaking. The cabin is great but it is rustic. There were mice and a couple of red squirrels in the cabin. So if you are squeamish this might not be the place for you. I thought it was wonderful.

Peaceful Natural Beauty Surrounds This Charming Clean Cottage
We loved our stay at The Charming Old Cottage. The cottage was super clean and offered lovely decor, a well-appointed kitchen, and comfy beds and bedding. The fireplace came with ample extra wood available in the little shed up the hill, with leather work gloves and a wheelbarrow for easy transport. The cottage is located just feet away from the mighty St. Croix River, and we were blessed with beautiful weather and fall colors. We enjoyed chatting with the kind family members/owners to learn some history about the cottage. Communication and information were timely and helpful. This is one of our favorite VRBO places to stay. We will be visiting again.

A little slice of heaven on the river
If you want a peaceful escape and stunning views of the St. Croix River, this rustic cabin is it! All of the amenities were perfect for our weekend stay. We liked the rustic feel and were very comfortable in all aspects. It's so beautiful and peaceful on the shore of the river...just so relaxing! It reminded me so much of going to my aunt and uncle's cabin as a kid...very special nostalgia! We enjoyed paddling in the canoe and loved soaking up the peace and beauty of it all from the screen porch. It was also a perfect place to bring our dogs. Next time, we'll add another day to our stay to enjoy the river more! Thanks so much for sharing your little slice of heaven with us.

Amazing views but very rustic
The location and views were amazing but the cabin was a little too rustic for our family. We did enjoy hanging in the hammocks overlooking the river, the canoe cruises and building fairy houses.
Unfortunately we had too many visits from critters inside the cabin during our stay. Moths and mouse droppings every day inside the cottage was an unexpected surprise. We were not informed of toilet paper (they supply one roll and we do not recall seeing in listing we were supposed to bring our own) and bathroom/kitchen soap (bathroom was empty and kitchen was low) policy until we were there but owner’s daughter brought some more after a discussion. No problems if they would have made this more clear in listing.
Could be an amazing place with a little extra care inside the cabin to eliminate critters.
Definitely a great spot.

Wonderful River Retreat
This quaint rustic cabin is nestled into the river bluffs and feels like you are hours away from any hustle and bustle. It is like stepping back in time to simpler days while incorporating just enough modern conveniences to make it comfortable and easy. The hosts were absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. We hope to stay again!

Great cabin getaway
We loved this wonderful cabin time with our daughter and grand daughter! The house had all the room and features that we needed. The antiques and setting felt like a step back into a simpler time. We especially enjoyed the river views plus canoeing. We were also close to friends and family in the Twin Cities.

Relaxing Rustic Stay
We stayed at this picturesque cottage for a week while spending time exploring the St Croix River. It's very rustic with lots of charm. It creaks and moans but that's part of the charm. Our hosts were a wealth of information about the cottage's history and area. We paddle boarded down the St Croix to William Obrien St Park. It was a fun experience.

Peaceful retreat close to home!
Quite incredible that this unspoiled, family-owned property (since 1911) is so close to home. Just a 50 or so minute drive from St. Paul! Rustic, vintage cottage on the banks of the St. Croix. It's a simple and comfortable hideaway. No unnecessary frills just the basics which suited us just fine!
- Easily sleeps 6 in three small bedrooms. One bedroom is screened on two sides so it's like sleeping outside, only better!
- Spacious screen porch facing the river -- we enjoyed morning coffee here, relaxed in the evening and listed to the squirrels, birds and wind rustling through the trees.
- Canoe rides in the early morning or late afternoon -- best way to enjoy the river. A bit tricky to get the canoe in the water -- but I'm 71 and and my friend is 68 -- if we could handle it anyone can! We paddled up river to a sandbar and enjoyed a cooling river swim.
- All the basics in the kitchen and a nice dining table for gracious meals together. All told -- a relaxing week and a nice break from the stress of the city with COVID restrictions.
Lovely owners. A lot of family history here.

PEACE
Are you seeking a peaceful place to unplug? This is a beautiful spot on the St. Croix River. Some days it feels like we have the river to ourselves. This quaint place is away from it all but close enough to Marine on St. Croix to grab a coffee, or some groceries or an ice cream. We leveraged the canoe for fishing and brought our own paddleboards. We will be back!

Perfection
Imagine lying in your bed and looking out at trees shimmering in the morning light and a river rolling by. The only sounds are leaves rustling softly in the wind and birds and squirrels chirping. Imagine having nothing to do all day but sip coffee, paddle a kayak or canoe, read on a screened porch, rustle up a meal. This was our experience at this well-loved, charming cottage. No television, no motor boats, no cars or trucks rushing up the highway. This kind of vacation might not be for everyone, but it was certainly just what the doctor ordered for our family of four. And the family who owns the cottage couldn't be nicer! We also really enjoyed the town of Marine, where we stopped to fill up on WiFi, visited the sweet library, had sublime BLTs at the Landing, and shopped at the little grocery that sells local products. Nearby William O'Brien State Park provided nature trails for our daily hikes (although some of us just sat outside and read all day :) ). A really great find.

Classic cabin
This is a great spot to relax. Quintessential cabin experience. Well supplied and clean. We had everything we needed. Lots to do in the area. The wifi is somewhat spotty, but that helped everyone unplug. Really felt like we were in the woods. Would be great in the fall, too.

Peaceful
What a pleasant, quiet setting beneath pine trees and beside a slow flowing river. Just what our family needed to unplug and relax. The facilities are dated, but we didn't mind stepping back in time. The kitchen had almost everything we needed. Everything about the cottage was as described on the website.

Quiet spot on the St Croix river close to St. Paul
Plenty of windows and two screen porches made our stay in the heat of August very pleasant. Well-stocked with kitchen utensils; and the canoe and kayak, located two lots down from the rental house, were available whenever we wanted to use them. We enjoyed an altogether relaxing week.

Beautiful location, charming cottage, and welcoming owners.
This Saint Croix River cottage throws back to a simpler time of screened sleeping porches and the peaceful calm of watching the river. You can be as active as you want to be with nearby places to hike, swim, canoe, bike, and walk or retreat in place with good books and art projects. Time slowed and cool breezes off the river naturally relaxed and rejuvenated us. We weren’t driven to do anything other than what we felt called to do.
The Lewis Family kept us informed of anything that might affect our stay. They are great hosts.
I’m scheming to carve out time to return!

A beautiful cottage that will make you want to linger.
Dear Lewis Family,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage on the river with us. Our hearts are full of memories and love from the moments we enjoyed in your sweet cottage. We had chilly evenings to make use of the wood stove...enjoyed canoeing on the St. Croix...exploring at the nearby state parks...playing leisurely games of monopoly...and just reveling in uninterrupted time together. Upon arrival at your cottage, both of our children asked if we could keep the cottage. And we will. A piece of this place will always be in our hearts. We hope to return someday..."yet knowing how way leads on to way"...if we never have the chance to visit again, please know, we have made memories in this cottage that we will always carry with us. Much Love.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Kathy
This property is family-owned. We are a St. Paul family whose branches now extend to both coasts, but the family summer place on the St. Croix brings us together.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
This property was purchased by our great-grandfather, an avid fly-fisherman who fished the St. Croix, and his wife, as a place for their family to spend summers and, in the days before air-conditioning, escape the heat of the city. They acquired it just as logging operations in the St. Croix River Valley were winding down after nearly a hundred years. They built a house in 1912 – the first on the river – which we, his descendants, still spend time in. Eventually, a second house was built nearby (the one included in this listing) and still later, a third house, now owned by cousins, was added on the other side of the dock area. Over the years, the larger property and houses have been the "glue" that keeps a large extended family in close contact, as we all share a love of the river, its wooded banks and bluffs, and the houses themselves, steeped in family history.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Our property is unique for its location smack-dab on a federally-protected Wild & Scenic riverway, full of natural beauty, and at the same time its proximity to and easy accessibility from a major metropolitan area.
