Wonderful stay. The home is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully stocked— everything we could think of and more. Check-in and check-out were super easy (no long chore lists!). We loved the comfy beds and the outdoor seating area. Location was perfect— we walked to town and had a 5 minute drive to canoe. Do be aware of the big damage deposit hold on credit cards… but it was a seamless stay.

Birthday getaway

To celebrate my 60th birthday my 2 adults girls and I were looking for a place close to the Twin Cities, but with fun things to do. This place fit our needs very well. It's cute, clean, and near many area attractions (too many to fit into our short stay).

Upstairs room/bathroom was very comfortable. Was able to walk to the downtown area and also visited the St. Croix Falls downtown across the river. Would

Very nice home. Very clean. Great location. Very quiet. One star taken off because the only shower is in the upstairs bathroom. This would not have been a problem except that 4 of us were getting ready for a wedding at the same time. Would recommend this house.

Sweet Fall Weekend Getaway!

We came here for a bachelorette party weekend and had a great time! Right in the heart of taylor’s falls - we were able to hike, eat good food, and catch a boat cruise in stillwater! Cory was an amazing host and was responsive to all our questions. Home was clean and provided all the things we needed!
