** Hi! Thanks for considering my place! Be sure to read through my entire listing to ensure you enjoy your visit!
This spacious historic loft is quintessentially Stillwater with its 20 foot exposed beam ceilings and brick walls, all original from when the building was constructed in the 1880's. While it is preserved of it's historic charm, this 2 bedroom loft has been updated with modern amenities like a jacuzzi tub and fully outfitted kitchen for those looking to do some cooking with the produce from the coop down the street.
Located above Howard's Bar directly on Stillwater's historic Main Street, you are not only steps away from delicious food but all of the charm that the St. Croix River Valley has to offer - Amazing antiquing, art galleries, boutiques, tasty bites, and bars jam packed with character where ever you turn. Wake up to a complimentary coffee or tea from the fully stocked coffee bar, or pop in next door to Mon Petit Cheri for a coffee and a delicious pastry.
Because we are located above a bar, the floor of the loft has been sound proofed to mitigate any noise bleed from the patrons dining directly below you.

QUIRKY LITTLE THINGS TO BE AWARE OF BEFORE YOU BOOK:
With so many Airbnb/hotel offerings in the River Valley, you should choose the best one that fits all of your needs instead of picking one that "sort of" works. I want you to have a great time, enjoying our amazing loft in a fantastic location, in our amazing little town, that fits your expectations. So, please be aware this space may not be the best fit for you in regard to the following list of quirks below. In full disclosure-
+ NOISE: There is a low speed fan in the loft that runs 24/7 as part of the buildings ventilation system. It cannot be turned off. Most guests have not had an issue with this noise, but you may wish to bring earplugs just in case!
+ STREET NOISE: Although the floor is soundproofed to prevent noise coming up from the bar, you might hear a quiet bass drum from time to time and you will definitely hear the lively noise from Main St below your window. With the convenience of being right on Main Street and all it has to offer, so does the noise that comes along with staying directly above a thoroughfare. Motorcycles are loud, bachelorette parties are loud, you will definitely hear live music during patio season. It adds to the excitement of being right on Main Street unless you are someone who wants it dead quiet! So please take that into consideration before booking.
+ SOFA: The sofa isn't meant for sleeping. If you book the apartment with plans for a 5th person to sleep on the sofa you will be disappointed.
+ VISITORS: No more than 3 extra visitors are permitted in the building at any given time.
+ TV: There is no cable or local free channels. Log in to your own pre-paid streaming accounts.
+ RESTAURANT ACCESS: There is no direct access to the restaurant from the apartment, for your safety and ours.
+ DISCLAIMER: With a the charm and history that comes with one of the oldest buildings in Stillwater (and MN for that matter), so do some quirks. The brick used is the original “Ohio Brick” from the 1800’s and they are meant to “breath”, letting moisture in and out, expanding and detracting in the cold and warm weather that Minnesota is known for. This means you might catch some crumbles or brick dust. We maintain these bricks with the help of Minnesota’s Historical Society and replace them on a need basis. Please be aware and be gentle with them.
Please reach out before booking if you have any questions or specific needs.
