Built in 1872, the historic Durant House is the idyllic Stillwater vacation rental. Perfectly poised on a gorgeous South Hill lot, this home is literally steps from downtown. The Durant House offers incredible indoor & outdoor spaces, several porches that look to the river & lift bridge, with an elegance & open flowing layout. The kitchen is fully equipped with dining seating for 18. The 1870 s mansion offers all the expected modern amenities. The main level has large spaces, including a kitchen, dining room, great room, one bedroom with queen bed, full and half bath and large wrap around porch. The second level has three full baths.

Host and staff live locally and are happy to assist with any questions during your stay.
The Durant House is only steps from downtown Stillwater, so no need to start your cars, as almost all attractions are a very short walk away. The famous "Main Street Steps" will take you right into the heart of it all. Teddy Bear Park is one block away, perfect play area for younger children. One block from historic court house, perfect for wedding parties. We do not rent to bachelor parties, as house is located in quiet neighborhood. Families are welcome.
If you need more space, ask about adjacent vacation rentals, Grandview Cottage & Grandview Loft.
Guests will be texted directions and check in instructions the morning of the booking. Upon arrival the guest is required to sign a City required disclosure form that communicates ordinances and rules.
