About this property

BestLocation|Romantic|ViewBridgeFromBed|Couples|Pets|Photo backdrop|Nightlife!!!

Right in the heart of downtown Stillwater, MN, along the St. Croix River valley, with the absolute best view and location in the area, the "Mini Me" of the Liftbridge Loft, is sharing the same roof deck entry to it's sister, "the big loft", right next door! Perfect if you need both to accommodate more guests, highly recommended! (The only area you are allowed to use on the roof is the pathway between the stairs and the door.) Walking distance to over 100 shops, over 30 amazing places to eat (some are award winning!), bike trails, bike and kayak rentals, footpaths, trails, hidden gems, and so much more, the list is endless!!! No parties or events are allowed anywhere on the property, per our city ordinance.
(License number STHR 2018-07)
There's also no smoking of any kind allowed. The building, built in 1888, has gorgeous stone and brick walls, originally a warehouse, hard wood floors, renovated to 3 lofts in the late 80's early 90's, tons of character, perfect for vacation stays! We have the honor to be the place holders of this historic piece of architecture, we hope you enjoy it and respect it, as we do!

We enjoyed our stay in the Mini-Me Loft in Stillwater. Clean, comfy & great location (just be ready to climb stairs) with a view of the liftbridge. Cheris was always prompt with replies. Definitely a good place to stay.

The location was what we wanted & the bed was comfortable. Not much else rated more than 1 or 2 stars. Buckling floor boards was a tripping hazard. Windows face East & curtains are sheer, making sleep on the morning difficult. Water leaked from the ceiling in 2 different spots. Our final weekend ( of a 2 week stay) fell on Lumberjack Days which meant we would have to park 2-5 blocks away—meaning 2 weeks worth of luggage would have to be lugged that far. Not acceptable response from owner.

Great spot in the heart of Stillwater

This loft space was nice, clean, funky and great views of the St Croix. My daughter and I stayed and had a lovely time. Unfortunately due to some health issues that came up, we could only stay one of the two nights we had booked. We look forward to returning for a longer stay in the future.

Perfect location and space!

We loved the loft! Easy walking to all the great restaurants and trails along the river. The size was perfect for the two of us. Even though it's downtown in the heart of all the entertainment, the loft was quiet and stress-free. Parking was harder on the weekend, but it was totally manageable. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect Location and beautiful loft

You cannot get a better location in Stillwater, right on mainstream with a view of the lift bridge and coffee store below. Minute walk to any of the scenic areas and if you don't want to leave its cozy and cool rustic open loft with a view. Definitely coming back!

Quaint place, comfortable

We had a great stay, nice location, and comfortable all around. The property manager was very responsive. The only tiny complaint is that the walls are pretty thin, seemed like our neighbors were either shouting or talking loudly. Other than that, it was a good stay, and the people in Stillwater are very friendly and we had several great meals and drinks there. I'd stay there again for sure!

Great Experience

The location was across from the lift bridge so everything that Stillwater had to offer was very close. The "Mini-Me" was very nice and quiet during the stay. Restaurants were right outside the entrance to the apartment and this was very beneficial since parking was at a premium if you were not staying in town. Overall it was a great experience and enjoyed the town including LoLo and Wild Hare restaurants.

Great location, competitive with hotel rates

Great location right downtown near the bridge providing great views. Rooftop location a little misleading but a great view to stand out and look. Check the addresses closely as the one listed is different from actual as N & S are backwards. Good space, beautiful brick walls, but could upgrade couch & TV service. Would stay again!

Mini-Getaway

Great location for exploring Stillwater. Nice and convenient with being in the heart of the downtown area! The only downside for us was parking. The stay comes with parking but we ran into the area being setup for Lumberjack Days. The parking area was being closed and there was no forewarning about it. Recommend the coffee shop below the loft! The owners (Matt and Adam) make great coffee and scones!

Not worst, not the best

The roof leaked. Bathroom looked clean, but tub/shower we decide not to use. Kitchen cabinet doors were sticky. The walk way was slippery, and needed handrails.
