The cottage is uniquely lovely with gorgeous wood furniture, beams and countertops and a cozy feel. There is English dinnerware and many awesome books! We saw a fox one morning on the lawn which I foolishly scared away by opening the door. Large and sunny windows look out onto the lawn, it was so nice to eat breakfast with the sun and nature views pouring in! This is a perfect place for a quiet and relaxing vacation for one or two people. We went hiking or seeing friends that live in MN (or golfing for my husband) most days and came back to make dinner in the cottage. We are from FL and had hoped for a colorful and cool Fall vacation but it warmed up a lot. We did see some foliage in a few of the parks we hiked. I hope we can return at some point and stay here again. Like I said, it was a perfect place to sleep and relax after a day's adventures. ##### David D.

Mar 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfectly Peaceful This stay was exactly what I needed. I am a stay-at-home mom of two rambunctious boys who booked this listing for eight nights of just-me time, and it fit the bill to a "t". I brought all the food I needed with me and chose to stay in the entire time, which I would highly recommend for a wintery stay. I brought puzzles, podcasts, and pajamas and spent my days at the kitchen table looking out at the snow and the suspension bridge going from Minnesota to Wisconsin. At night, the bridge was pleasantly alight, and the windows in the cottage were just the right size to take in the calm of it all. I loved the French doors leading into the bedroom and the experience of pulling them open in the morning to flood the room with sunshine. The decoration in the cottage is so thoughtful and well-done. My favorite touch was the choice to put stacks of coffee table books everywhere. The overall curation of the decor lent a sense of peace and order to the place that was very welcome. All in all, this was the best, most restful vacation I have ever had. ##### Natasha Y. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie P. Apr 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Property My husband and I stayed for a long weekend in Stillwater. The location was lovely-directly across the street was a scenic overlook if that gives you any idea of what a gorgeous view we had. The space was perfect for two-one bedroom, one bathroom, but lots of room. The couch was insanely comfortable, there was a large TV and a DVD player with popular movies for our rainy night in. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Beautifully decorated, comfortable, huge windows to enjoy the view. I would rent this property in a heartbeat the next time we're in the area. ##### Stephanie P.
