Bachelor Party Weekend

This was a perfect place for a bachelor party on the water and for downtown nightlife and restaurants for dinner. It was an uber away from everything or a 30 minute walk. There was lots of parking as well.

Excellent Stay for a Team

Our team rented this to do some offsite planning. The house was as pictured. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, good layout, excellent outdoor space and nice view of the river. It was less than a 5 minute drive to get downtown which was really convenient to grab groceries or go out to eat. Would definitely stay here again.

Great family vacation spot

This is a great place to have a family vacation. Pat was so helpful with everything-from helping us with our pontoon boat trip, starting our fire in the fire pit, to recommending places to see and things to do. The house has a large table to gather for meals and several beds for groups. The town of Stillwater has lots of shops, Teddy Bear Park for the kids, and a wonderful historic trolley tour.

Great time in Stillwater-EXCELLENT LOCATION

We had 3 adult couples stay at this very roomy (lots of space for everyone) VRBO on the banks of the St. Croix River. It was a convenient walk on the trail to town or a very brief drive into the downtown historical district. Lots of shops, restaurants and sites to explore in the area. Weather was delightful but since the river was high due to recent rains, we didn't get in any water activities. We enjoyed the trolley ride that gave us a tour and history of the area.

Review of house

VRB house was fabulous. An employee was frequent visitor and helped with everything from changing lightbulbs to taking whole group for boat ride last evening there. The bedroom with glass double doors could use window covering. A big plus was the great weather!

Amazing!

I took my dental staff for a fun weekend to Stillwater! The house was more than we could’ve expected. The marina was beautiful and our location is amazing to downtown, Pat on site was so helpful,getting us settled and helping us with the fire. It fit my staff perfectly. We will definitely be returning and try the pontoon next time.😁

Stillwater Bachelorette Party

We rented this Vrbo not realizing the hospitality that would be included. The property manager was always available as he seems to manage the marina. He even offered to start a bonfire for us! This property is gorgeous and the rental was amazing, pictures on the site just so not do it justice. It was well worth the money and we all want to rent that place again! There was plenty of rooms and beds for all of us gals. We had a great time hanging out by the river and on the many patios. I cannot say enough good things about this rental and Pat's attentiveness.
