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 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.

Great get-away property
We chose this lodge for a special anniverary get away and we loved it. The space is large and the kitchen is well equiped. We spent all of our time on the the upper level, but if we came with a crowd we would have used all the sleeping quarters and entertaining areas on the first floor level. We needed air conditioning, a dish washer and access to the Internet. This property had great air conditioning and all the appliances were working. The views of the marina and river are great from the large dining area, living area and main bedroom. There are curtains and blinds to keep the early morning sun from being a problem. There is a regular coffee maker, not a Keurig, but that worked for us. A variety of dishes, pots, pans, glasses and such is provided. If you need soap other than liquid soap in the bath, bring your own. Uber is available, both for rides into Stillwater and for Uber Eats delivery. We especially enjoyed the huge deck/patio with ample seating, umbrella coverage and view of the river. The marina may have been noisy/busy, but the rooms in the lodge were quiet and comfortable. This is a great place for a couples get away and would work well for a crowd. As other reviewers have noted, our host Pat greeted us upon arrival and introduced us to the property. He helped me move some of our packed luggage into the home and was ready to resolve any issues that could possibly arise. He is a lovely person who made us feel welcome and safe without invading our privacy.

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.

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!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
From the moment I arrived I knew the listing didn’t do this place justice. This house is INCREDIBLE. Location is right next to downtown but also in a sweet little neighborhood that gives you privacy. When we checked in, Pat showed us around and just wow. There are sliding glass doors around the top level(including the master bedroom)leading out to a balcony that over looks the marina. Sunrises here are phenomenal!! Pat was also our point of contact once we arrived and was available whenever I needed anything- hospitality was 10/10. Saturday we arranged to be taken out on a pontoon for the afternoon and again- PERFECT. Jodi was letting us listen to our own music and gave us great suggestions on where to go for the best beach! We had the very best time here all around and we all agreed this was not only better then expected, but we’ll be back. Sooo much space, so many beds to a accommodate our big group, incredible spot and just really great people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

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.
