About this property

Riverview In Downtown Stillwater: Porches, Decks & Yard Overlooking Main Street

License STHR 2017-02
We are not "within walking distance" to downtown -- WE ARE downtown!
Located on the north end of downtown Stillwater with a beautiful view of the river, Main Street HideAway is tucked on a large lot surrounded by trees and river bluff. A restored historic duplex, both units have 2 private bedrooms and a single bathroom. Each unit is perfect for 1 or 2 couples.

We have undergone a complete restoration and renovation - bathrooms are new with stone and granite. Kitchens have high end stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Original floors, doors and woodwork are refinished. Each unit has a washer and dryer.
The yard is lovely, and we have outdoor tables and a grill.
Be sure to bring your bikes! We are located directly across the street from the 0 mile marker for the Brown's Creek Trail. If you haven't been on this trail, you are in for a treat! It meanders through the woods and bluffs, crossing the creek in a number of spots.
Our yard also abuts a set of the infamous "Laurel Street Steps" - a walk up these steps takes you directly into Pioneer Park, where the photo ops are amazing.

Great House - Hard beds

This duplex is really quite nice, the updates were very well done, and the location is perfect for exploring Stillwater. However, the beds are quite hard so be aware of that. We would stay there again!

Perfect Stillwater Location

We had a fabulous weekend with both of the duplex sides rented for a girls weekend. The house was very clean and we loved the deck with views of the river. Being located right off the main street was perfect for our activities in town, no driving necessary. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely river view, convenient to downtown Stillwater

Great location, clean, convenient to downtown. Communication with hosts was excellent - very responsive and timely. Big bedrooms, lots of windows, nice living room and good sized kitchen too. Beautiful views of the river. Located on the north end of town so quiet, but still only a few minutes walk to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Family Ladies Weekend Away

My mom, sisters and niece all decided to meet in the middle and enjoy a weekend away. We have such a nice time spending a lazy, rainy morning drinking coffee and catching up. When we decided to venture out, the location was great... with in walking distance to the river, great dining and shopping that Stillwater offers. Terry & Monty were attentive to our needs, corresponding quickly to all of our questions. The furnishings were top notch, from the sheets and pillows to the gourmet coffee, and the place was spotless. They even went as far as to mail some forgotten items to my mom. I'd recommend this place to anyone! Thanks for the great time!

Beautiful home, great location!

This home is a genuine beauty. The renovation that was completed a couple years ago was done with such style and class. No corners were crimped, but the character of the home was maintained. Kitchen was well furnished, beds were comfortable, the bathroom was to die for (especially the shower!). The weather was cool when we were there, so we didn't get to make use of the upper balcony, or grill. The house is located virtually next to the beginning of all the uptown action. Great for walking to and from shopping, bars, restaurants, boat activities, etc. We found the owners very nice and easy to work with with prompt responses to questions before and after our stay. If you are headed to the beautiful town of Stillwater, this is a must for your choice of places to stay!

Beautiful Property in Ideal Location!

The Main Street Hideaway is exactly as stated -- a great little hideaway in Stillwater! It's situated on a hill with great views of the St. Croix River. I was in the upper unit (unit 2) with great views and 2 small balconies. It's within walking distance to down-town, the Stillwater Lift Bridge, and walking paths. I regularly used the walking paths and crossed the Lift Bridge into Wisc. -- there and back is 3.2 miles/5K. The unit itself has ample room -- 2 bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom, a small work space, and did I mention 2 balconies! :) I really enjoyed my stay. Montey and Terri couldn't have been nicer. Main Street Hideaway was better than I expected!

Fantastic!

We were so pleased with the property! It was VERY clean, the furnishings were all in excellent shape, the linens were all of high quality and so fresh, and the space was perfect for our group of 5 ladies. The location was a comfortable walk from all the excitement of Main Street. Terri and Monty were wonderful to work with, very informative and patient when I made a mistake on my booking. We will most definitely stay again in the future.

Great location!

Had an awesome 'end of the Fall' weekend in this awesome rental. Was just at the end of the downtown area to conveniently walk to all the sites and sounds of Stillwater... and if course shopping! So enjoyed the cozy interior as well as the morning coffee and afternoon wine on the porch. We were so grateful this was available for our 32nd anniversary. We shall return! Thank you Monte and Terri

Stunning view and a cozy, updated home.

This home has everything you could ever wish for. With large (and super clean) windows to look out of, there is a spectacular view of the river in an awesome location. The homeowners (Terri and Monty) are very nice and responded to our ever need immediately. The home is gorgeous and updated with beautiful appliances, fixtures, and is also stocked very well with anything you could possibly need. The 2 queen beds were very comfortable as well. Outside there was a spacious patio area with a very nice grill. There was plenty of seating with a comfortable table to sit around. I would recommend this rental for a girls weekend for sure! The town has so much to offer for shopping, eating, entertainment, boating, and the ever popular trolley rides! Thank you Terri and Monty for giving us girls an experience that we will cherish always! In appreciation, Kimmy, Sue, Gwenny and Valerie :)

About the host

Hosted by Monty and Terri Brine

Host profile image
We have lived in the Stillwater for over forty years and raised our kids and grandkids here. We have owned this property for nearly 20 years, and in 2016 we decided to do a complete restoration/renovation. We are pleased with the finished product. With the use of custom millwork and hardware it is hard to distinguish between the addition and the original areas.
We have tried to make it a restful and tasteful retreat for our guests.

Why they chose this property

The Main Street Hideaway is a unique piece of property that it was originally part of the Stillwater Territorial State Prison. It is located next to the Warden's House which is now the Washington County Historical Museum. Just to the North of the Warden's House is the site of the original territorial prison which was destroyed by fire in 2002. Original walls of the prison property are still standing and surround the Terra Springs condo development. It is our understanding that our MainStreet Hideaway was used as housing for some of the officers or guards at the prison.

What makes this property unique

Location location location! Guests are able to walk to so many activities, yet because we are perched on a hilltop, we are hidden away and quiet. Main Street Hideaway is unique, being located in downtown and within walking distance to the Paddle Boats, JX Event Center, Grand Banquet Hall, Lowell Inn, The Loft, Brians, and Water Street Inn. Lowell Park and Pioneer Park are less than 2 blocks away. There are more than 20 restaurants located in downtown ranging from fine dining, casual upscale, and burgers and fries. Spring, Summer and Fall allows for the opening of more than a dozen outside seating areas and rooftop decks. If you are looking for live music, there are typically 5-6 different venues every weekend.
Main Street Hideaway also has it's own off street parking . With a large yard, porches with a river view , and a lovely patio area, you may decide to stay put and order in!
