The Cozy Cottage is well equipped and beautifully decorated. The location was convenient for our visits to friends and family from Minneapolis on the west to Hudson, Wisconsin in the east. Next time we’ll bring the dog!

We enjoyed our two week stay at Carly‘s cabin while visiting family in the area. It was clean, decorated well and the perfect size for our family of two adults and two dogs. Carly thought of everything! We loved walking and riding our bikes on the paths around the cabin. Appreciated the small dishwasher, washer, and dryer, talking coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar and the office area with the monitor. Nice landscaping around the cabin. We hope to come back again in the future.

This cottage is so charming. The prop is even better in person, and the owner makes everything so very easy. Place is immaculate, beds are comfy, bathroom and kitchen have all you need. The area is just lovely, and the street is quiet and safe.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed! Carly was a thoughtful host and even accommodated a last‑minute check‑in change. The extra touches made us feel pampered, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the furniture was cute and cozy. Our dog loved it too. We’d happily stay again.

A dog friendly gem

A great property. It was cozy, quiet and nice road to walk dog down. Big flower laden yard with great spots to sit. Nice large tv, comfortable beds. Good door lock. Felt safe, relaxed and close to Stillwater’s amazing downtown.

Carly's Cottage May 2024

Very clean, well-stocked with amenities, comfortable cottage and neighborhood, with easy access to shopping. Both Sunfish Lake Park and Lake Elmo Park Preserve are convenient by car or bike. We traveled with a pet, and close access to trails was a plus. We had a great experience!!

cozy cottage to unplug!

Perfect cozy cottage style home for a small family to unplug from life distractions for a few days. Very convenient location to other attractions. Quiet neighborhood. Comfy master bed. Only caution is strong air freshener and dryer sheet scents if you odor sensitivities. Host was very helpful, responsive to questions and helped make our stay the best for what we were looking for!

Sweet, Cozy, Perfection!

This is our 2nd stay at the cottage and have loved both our visits! Carly is a wonderful host! She is very communicative and has thought of every little detail to make the home welcoming and comfortable. The cottage is also one of the cleanest properties I have rented, and there have been quite a few. The property is lovely, and much enjoyed by our pups! It is in a peaceful neighborhood that is very close to main thoroughfares and highways for easy touring of this beautiful area. I highly recommend the cottage! I know we’ll be back again!

Great spot for a girls’ weekend!

From even before checking in, the communication with the owner was great. We were able to get into the beautiful property without any issues. Any questions during our stay were responded to very promptly. The home is absolutely adorable and was the perfect space for four adults. Close to Stillwater but we found that the No Neck Tony’s just down the road was our favorite spot! No issues getting transportation from Lyft/Uber in this area. Great easy checkout process. Would highly recommend!!

Wonderful!!! Absolutely wonderful.

We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is super cute and comfortable, and thoughtful touches for humans and fur babies are absolutely everywhere. USB ports everywhere, fire pit roasting sticks, wash/face cloths for makeup, well stocked Kurig coffee maker, etc. The kitchen is very well stocked, the (king) bed is very comfortable, and the shower had great pressure. Communication with the hostess was prompt and friendly. These are the things that are most important to us. We had friends over to sit around the fire pit one cooler evening, and we had a great time. We wish we could have stayed more than three nights but look forward to returning!
