Cottage on the lake near downtown Stillwater

Cottage home on the lake near downtown Stillwater. This little oasis is surrounded by trees and 400 feet of lakeshore. Watch the loons from the dock, take the kayaks out to see the wildlife, enjoy sunsets from the firepit or hammock, and hot tub under the stars. A path in the backyard can take you around the lake or to downtown Stillwater. The home has a cottage feel on the outside, but a modern aesthetic on the inside. It'll feel like a home away from home. We look forward to hosting you!

Friends weekend
It was a wonderful experience, the house was an accurate listing, clean and when we had a small issue with a beeping noise in the house on arrival the host was prompt in replies. Came very quickly and was extremely friendly dealing with it! Would definitely stay here again!

Megan's 50th Birthday!
It was a fabulous place for us to celebrate a 50th birthday for someone who wholeheartedly loves MN winter! It looked beautiful online, and then in person it was even better! We'd give it 10 stars if we could!

This is a nice place, pretty unique. The kitchen was not that well stocked and the oven left uncleaned and unusable bc it was so dirty. But nice view and location for sure.

Great accommodations! Close to downtown (still requires an Uber). Driving up it seems to be close to the neighborhood, but once on the property it surprisingly feels very secluded and intimate. We had a wonderful time, everything was very clean and we would definitely stay here again!
