The best place to stay!

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.

Favorite place in Minnesota

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.

Book club getaway

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!

A Dreamy Girls' Weekend Getaway!

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!
