This was a perfect location for a girls getaway. Private, beautiful location surrounded with nature. Close to downtown Stillwater and local activities. Sarah was great and the house had everything we needed and more! Would definitely stay here again!
We hosted our friend’s bachelorette party here and everything was perfect! The house is beautiful and so was the location. So much wild life, very secluded but very close to downtown Stillwater! The host made everything so easy and welcoming. We will for sure be visiting again. Highly recommend!
This is truly the most beautiful property and home you can stay. Sarah is an incredibly thoughtful and gracious host, who goes above and beyond to ensure guests have everything they need and more. This truly our favorite place to stay in Minnesota.
This property is absolutely beautiful. It exceeded all of our expectations and turned a work trip into a vacation. The quiet, scenic location is idyllic, but close enough to Still Water that it’s only a short drive to quality restaurants and shopping. The hosts are outstanding and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We are already planning to return. I cannot recommend staying here enough.
We had a wonderful weekend at Silver Creek Acres. Stayed here with a group of friends for a wedding in downtown Stillwater. The location was perfect. The property was amazing. The owners could’t have been nicer. House was very clean with great amenities. Would highly recommend.
This is my absolute favorite place to stay in Minnesota. The property is beautiful, incredibly clean, comfortable, and luxurious. Every time we stay here it feels like a vacation. Our dogs could not be happier staying here and we have made so many good memories each time we stay here. Downtown Stillwater is only 6 minutes away and there are many wonderful restaurants and shops. The hosts are outstanding and always go above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need and more.
8 of us ladies had such a wonderful stay! The host had fantastic communication the whole time. The home is beautiful, had great character, was cozy. We enjoyed watching the deer on the evening across the field and had a cozy evening in hot tubbing, discussing our books by the fire, and even had some puzzle races on the nice big dining room table. We would recommend to others, hands down!
Just driving up to the property was an amazing start. Walking into the house, it was WOW. It was absolutely beautiful. It was a perfect experience, from start to finish. Thank you for sharing your house with us.
I can't say enough good things about our recent stay at this stunning home. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of amazing. The host was an absolute gem, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their communication was seamless, making the entire booking process and our stay stress-free. Their attentiveness truly added an extra layer of comfort to our trip. The house and grounds were a true paradise. Tastefully decorated and meticulously maintained, every corner exuded charm and elegance. The natural beauty surrounding the property provided the perfect backdrop for our weekend retreat. Also to mention - the house was equipped with everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was stocked with top-notch appliances and utensils. Cozy bedrooms, plush linens, and thoughtfully appointed bathrooms made us feel right at home.
Our time here was nothing short of magical. I highly recommend this rental property for anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating getaway. We're already planning our return trip!
Tucked away and very comfortable house on a beautiful piece of property. Host communication was flawless and everything was exactly as described. Would highly recommend!
We stayed here with a group of 10 women for a girls weekend. The home and property are very spacious, so we had plenty of room to gather but also our separate spaces for privacy. We enjoyed the outdoor seating areas, fire pit, and hot tub. The beds are comfortable, and the linens are good quality. The property is private and secluded, but conveniently located close to downtown Stillwater. I would definitely stay here again!
We rented this house for our family for our wedding in Stillwater. The property is absolutely stunning and the house is breathtaking. The hosts were incredible, we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Would recommend!!
This was the best VRBO experience I have ever had. The owner answered all of my questions months before the vacation. The house was clean, tidy, decorated and the yard was in tip top shape. They clearly worked hard on making this place look fantastic before we arrived. Its a huge property so there are lots of places to explore! We grilled, played outdoor games, had a bon fire, used the hot tub etc. Its also just a short drive to downtown Stillwater. You are in the country enough to have privacy and not worry about neighbors, yet only a quick uber into the downtown Stillwater area. Plenty of firewood for the fire pit and propane for the grill, which is something thats important and necessary for a summer night. My sister and her friends had a blast celebrating her engagement here. Best VRBO experience ever, not sure if anything can top this.
Beautiful!! Pictures did not do it justice! We spent so much time on the side patio where we could watch everyone play yard games. The house was more than we hoped for as there was room for everyone. The hot tub was loved by everyone. The kids loved exploring the land around the house and watching for visiting wildlife. We would highly recommend this location to anyone who wants to get away and enjoy the country feel while still being close enough to town to go in and enjoy all the fun in Stillwater.
