About this property

St. Croix River Home in the Heart of Taylors Falls

A great escape awaits you in beautiful, historic Taylors Falls. Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street and is in one of the most scenic areas of Minnesota. Operating since 2013 and lovingly cared for by Cathie & Dave, Rivertime changed hands in the spring of 2021 and new owners Danette & Bill are eager to welcome you!

This historic river home was originally built as a single story 2 room homestead by settlers in 1880. With multiple additions this beautiful 5 level home now sleeps up to 10 people comfortably.

The Interior was completely updated with special attention paid to every detail. Our home has a large main level combined living /dining room area and a lower level family room great for relaxing and watching TV. It features five bedrooms, three of the bedrooms have queen beds the two other bedrooms each have two twin beds. The kitchen is fully equipped and has all new stainless appliances. A laundry room is available with a new washer and dryer. You will love the large 14'x 20' screen porch and relaxing on the deck as you take in the beautiful St. Croix River.

Surrounded by a challenging variety of outdoor recreational options, the small village on the St. Croix River can keep you active and interested with its small-town charm and natural beauty. MN and WI Interstate Park are within walking distance where you can enjoy miles of hiking trails, walk through glacial gardens, canoe, kayak or rock climb. You can even enjoy the scenic beauty by taking a River Boat Tour and watch eagles soar over the river.

Other recreational opportunities in the area include Gandy Dancer Trail for biking, hiking, and running, Taylors Falls Canoe & Kayak, Festival Theatre, St. Croix Valley Golf Course, Wild Mountain Water Park, Alpine Slides, Go-Karts, and Ski Area, Trollhaugen Ski Area, Adventure Mini Golf and Drive-In, St. Croix Falls Mini Golf and Go-Karts, Fawn-Doe-Rosa Wildlife Educational Park. Franconia Sculpture Park, and many great places to eat including the ubiquitous Drive-In (best burgers around).

Four local wineries are located within minutes from our property: Wild Mountain Winery, Dancing Dragonfly Winery, Chateau St. Croix Winery, and Winehaven WInery.

Taylors Falls was named by World Atlas as one of the top ten most beautiful small towns in Minnesota: https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/10-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-minnesota.html (the list is alphabetical -- we're biased and believe we are in the top two!).

For Hazelden Betty Ford visitors, we are only a 15-minute drive away from the campus located in Center City, MN.

A wonderful time again
This was our group's third annual fall visit (and we are planning another one for next fall). Everything was wonderful. We want to give an extra shout-out to the fabulous and quick response we got when we realized the coffee pot wasn't working. We so appreciate the professional, warm, and considerate care they give to their guests. We will be back!

Loved loved loved this rental! So roomy and comfortable. The pictures did not do it justice. Basically lived on the large screen porch and I’ve never seen a better stocked kitchen. The six of us had more than enough room and a wonderful time. The coffee shop just up the stairs was great and the Tangled Up in Blue restaurant was a real find! We would definitely come back.
