Gorgeous home, wonderful stay

We stayed a week in this beautiful home, with our children and grandchildren. It had everything we needed to make this a true vacation. The kitchen and bathrooms were better equipped than my own, and my grandkids (9 and 11) said the beds were the most comfortable they had ever slept in.

Wedding weekend

We had our family together for our daughter and new son’s wedding and it was the perfect home for us. Main level bedroom and bath for our parents, space above the garage for the “kids”, and beautiful rooms for morning coffee, breakfast, post-wedding pizza and relaxing in between. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us - it truly felt like home!

We enjoyed this large house with all the amenities. Large yard for the kids to play and we even carved pumpkins. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 3 kids. We enjoyed walking around the quaint neighborhood and seeing the Halloween displays

About the host

Hosted by Barbra and Kirk Ackerman

Host profile image
We are married with grown children so we call that 'empty nested'. We love the St Croix River, Stillwater and general area. We enjoy boating and usually stay on our boat most of the warm weather season so our house is vacant and available at least 6 months out of the year. We decided to rent out vs. sell until we decide what we would like to do next. It is a big house for just the two of us so we decided to try VRBO since it is a nationally known site and introduces our home to more parties.

Why they chose this property

Quiet neighborhood, beautiful home and views.
Our home is known to be very clean and you will
have all the comforts of knowing this at check in.
The home will be all ready for your stay.
We love our location and Stillwater area is home to us.

What makes this property unique

The views of the St Croix, location and peaceful neighborhood.
Our home has been utilized by many groups but most often times families of wedding parties. Our home allows families to be together with having the comforts of home.
We will be happy to assist with any planning during your stay and have a good list of restaurant recommendations. We would be happy to make any or all reservations needed!
