Historic Beauty w Modern Updates Near Taylor's Falls
Our 4bdrm, 2 bath1890s home is full of original woodwork, with updated bathrooms and kitchen. Historic charm doesn't have to mean modern inconvenience. Wood floors throughout, wainscoting and old-fashioned light sconces giving a wonderfully warm ambiance. Cascade House is a short walk from downtown Osceola's shops and restaurants, and just one block off the St. Croix River. Osceola is located just a few minutes from both state and national parks, and near easy access to hiking and river sports. Trollhaugen, with skiing and ropes courses, is just up the road, and Franconia Sculpture Garden, Stillwater, St. Croix Falls and other destinations are less than 30 minutes away.

Getaway in a old classic!
We enjoyed our stay at this early 1900’s era home. Our children enjoyed exploring all the nooks and closets playing with all the toys they brought while us adults enjoyed great conversation by the fire and playing games in the dining room. It was quite chilly during our stay (average temps below zero the entire time) but the house was quite comfortable with plenty of extra blankets if one wanted. We used the hot tub a few shorts times due to the temps but was a nice retreat to get some fresh air. Osceola is a cute little town with everything you’d need if you happened to forget anything.

Great Getaway!
This house is beautifully historic and spacious. We had plenty of space for 7 adults and 2 kids, with room to spare. We enjoyed a daily quick walk to downtown Osceola and the centralized location for other destinations.

Great older home with so much charm!
We were visiting the area for a get-together of school friends and had a great time! The home had everything we needed. We were just sorry we did not spend more time there at the house and the downtown area within walking distance is so cute!
The hosts provided everything we needed and the home was exactly as described. I would totally recommend the home if you have a need for a place anywhere near Osceola.

Loved it
We loved the house with all it’s creaks and groans and plan to stay there again. And it is only 4 blocks from my sister’s house. One suggestion. A handrail on the back porch steps would be appreciated by us old folks. We had a lot of rain while we were there.

An amazing place for an incredible price
We chose this rental as the location for our yearly college friend trip and it was far better than I could have hoped. The town is adorable, but has a lot to offer both in terms of amenities and activities. Canoeing down the river was a blast, the Mall of America is a short drive, and there's plenty of room for activities in the house. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, the beds were comfortable, there's lots of room to play games, cook, sleep, and do whatever you'd like. Perfect for a family gathering.
The only critique we had was some of the plates and bowls were clearly not cleaned before we got there and still had food from the prior renters and there was a lack of extra toilet paper and towels so we had to buy more TP. Overall incredibly minor issues that had no real impact on our enjoyment.

Great house
We loved staying at this location. A beautiful home, with lots of historic finishes - hard wood floors, wainscoting in the bathroom, etc. It reminded us of when we lived in Uptown, Minneapolis. Very clean, and the property manager had great communication.

What a lovely property. The space and layout was perfect for our group. We enjoyed the hot tub and had a great time playing cards in the spacious dinning room. It was a wonderful location within walking distance to the quaint downtown. We also were able to find a nice Saturday morning yoga class at a local winery. Overall a wonderful place to stay and enjoy time recharging with friends.

Great location…..loved the historic home
Really appreciated the book about some of the history of the home and local information (restaurants, shops, activities)
Pictures of this lovely historic home are accurate. The home has lots of space for 4+ people and sits in a quiet neighborhood. Our favorite place was the front porch, where we could enjoy coffee in the morning and wine in the evening.
The home is four blocks from restaurants and shops.
Owners were quick to respond with questions or requests. They added personal touches (makings for s’mores at fire pit, granola bars to a quick snack, dew creamers to get you by until going to the grocery store) and extra outdoor chairs.
Only hiccup was an incorrect door code in the welcome packet from vrbo.

Great Property - Lots of Room
This is an older home that has been refurbished to keep it's charm. Lots of hardwood floors (that creak) Radiator heat. Leaded glass in some of the windows. Clawfoot bath tub. And it still has some of the modern conveniences too.
This is a fairly large home. It was definitely more than two of us needed. There are three bedrooms up and one bedroom down. A bathroom on each floor, lower is shower only. Upper has the shower and a tub (separate). Beds and other furniture was comfortable. Wi-fi was fast. TV worked fine. Parking is easy. Location is easy to find. There is a little road noise from Cascade Street, but it didn't interfere with sleeping or our enjoyment of the property.
We are hoping this property stays on VRBO. We are likely to stay here again!
The owners were very attentive. We had one issue with the door code and it was resolved within two-minutes. Not really a problem.
Walking distance to a grocery store and laundromat (if you need them). We walked to downtown Osceola for breakfast or dinner a few times.
If you like to stay in a bit of "living history", this is a great property. There are little things to see and wonder about throughout the house.
