Our home has 6 bedrooms with 5 that are in the home and 1 is in the bonus room above the garage. This is a late 1800's home restored in 2005 with a modern flare. Some of the house has original flooring where other areas are newer. This home is full of room with a large kitchen and family room. The home is on a quiet corner lot and little traffic.

The Bonus room (6th bedroom) is optional and is included booking 12 + adult guests. There is an additional fee for this room and we require a minimum of two adults to occupy this space. We will offer this room under 12 guests with an additional fee if you want the extra bed space. This room is seasonal from April - Oct and not available during the winter months. This space is above the detached garage with no bathroom. but very close walk to the home.

You will find our home to be very inviting and we take pride in how exceptionally clean we keep the home. As you will notice each room will have its own flair.

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.

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!
