About this property
St. Croix Riverview Home...Walking Distance to Downtown Stillwater
Enjoy the views from 3 decks over looking the St Croix River.
Walk downtown and enjoy Stillwater’s historic main street with fabulous restaurants, boutiques, antiques stores, charming old pubs and beautiful parks.
There are a number of activities in the area to keep you entertained such as golfing, spas, kayaking, boating (rentals), cave tours, winery & brewery tours, historical tours, bike/hiking trails, segway tours and paddle boat cruises.
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.
Note....
We have parking for up to 6 vehicles in our driveway and no off street parking is allowed per city ordinance.
We are also not allowed Events so this means no more than 16 people on the property including overnight guests at any given time! Our home is mainly for overnight guests
with a few visitors that may join for the day.

About the host
Hosted by Barbra and Kirk Ackerman
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.

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.
