The hostess was exceptional. She answered allMy questions and the amenities were wonderful. Beautiful view of the St Croix River through a slightly wooded area. And the rate was very reasonable. The cleaning rate was high as was Vrbo’s fee .
Outstanding place! The view is absolutely amazing and the place was very clean and well appointed. It’s a very quiet location, tucked in nature, but very convenient to Hudson, Stillwater and Woodbury. Would definitely recommend it and look forward to staying there again!
We were in town during the fall, when the colors of the trees are spectacular! We had a great visit, the space was perfect for our needs. Very clean, quiet and great views! The host was attentive and reached out to help us if needed. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Exceptional Extended Stay on the St. CroixAs global slow travelers, finding a property that sustains its charm and functionality over a month-long stay is rare, but this home delivered completely.The Setting: The sweeping views overlooking the St. Croix River are spectacular.

Great stay. Loved the location and the views. Just be sure to bring ear buds for noise because it is above the garage and the doors can wake you. Owners are great communicaters and the river access is fantastic.
The perfect place to stay, feels like a hidden get away from the cities but close enough to get anywhere in the metro easily! The host was so great to work with and made sure everything went smoothly for our stay. They made sure to check in after we had some severe weather, which was greatly appreciated! Beautiful view and fun to walk down to the river too! Thanks for a great stay!
