About this property
Cottage on the lake near downtown Stillwater
Cottage home on the lake near downtown Stillwater. This little oasis is surrounded by trees and 400 feet of lakeshore. Watch the loons from the dock, take the kayaks out to see the wildlife, enjoy sunsets from the firepit or hammock, and hot tub under the stars. A path in the backyard can take you around the lake or to downtown Stillwater. The home has a cottage feel on the outside, but a modern aesthetic on the inside. It'll feel like a home away from home. We look forward to hosting you!

About the host
Hosted by Nathan Jespersen

My wife Sara and I have been married for over 19 years, have 2 kids, Tori and Ellie. We live in Stillwater and also have a couple of other vacation rentals and businesses downtown. We love our little town and hope you enjoy it as well!
Why they chose this property
We stumbled on this property in the summer of 2012. The home was in rough shape, but the property and the location was paradise. We renovated the home to our liking. The home is also rich in Stillwater history. The trail behind the house used to be the old trolley track that commuted loggers throughout Stillwater back in the 1800's. The trolley house is converted into a home now and is our closest neighbor. We've thoroughly enjoyed this property for the 3 short years we've been here. We felt that it would be fun to share this little treasure with others.
What makes this property unique
By far, the most fascinating aspects of this home is the view of the lake and wildlife. You can see the sunset over the lake from every room in the home. What also makes this property unique is it's country secluded feel, while still amidst the populated downtown Stillwater area. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we have.
