About this property

St. Croix Riverview Home...Walking Distance to Downtown Stillwater

Enjoy the views from 3 decks over looking the St Croix River.

Walk downtown and enjoy Stillwater’s historic main street with fabulous restaurants, boutiques, antiques stores, charming old pubs and beautiful parks.

There are a number of activities in the area to keep you entertained such as golfing, spas, kayaking, boating (rentals), cave tours, winery & brewery tours, historical tours, bike/hiking trails, segway tours and paddle boat cruises.

Our home has 6 bedrooms with 5 that are in the home and 1 is in the bonus room above the garage. This is a late 1800's home restored in 2005 with a modern flare. Some of the house has original flooring where other areas are newer. This home is full of room with a large kitchen and family room. The home is on a quiet corner lot and little traffic.

The Bonus room (6th bedroom) is optional and is included booking 12 + adult guests. There is an additional fee for this room and we require a minimum of two adults to occupy this space. We will offer this room under 12 guests with an additional fee if you want the extra bed space. This room is seasonal from April - Oct and not available during the winter months. This space is above the detached garage with no bathroom. but very close walk to the home.

You will find our home to be very inviting and we take pride in how exceptionally clean we keep the home. As you will notice each room will have its own flair.

Note....
We have parking for up to 6 vehicles in our driveway and no off street parking is allowed per city ordinance.
We are also not allowed Events so this means no more than 16 people on the property including overnight guests at any given time! Our home is mainly for overnight guests
with a few visitors that may join for the day.

Great Spot!

The overall experience was awesome. Very clean, very large house. Plenty of amenities inside the home that we could use... we cooked and baked while there and there were plenty of tools for that. They allowed both of our large breed dogs as long as they stayed on the main floor which wasn't a problem. The only thing I would change is that they were insistent on a face to face check in, which means we had to be there at a very specific time the first evening. Everything that we briefly discussed with the renter could have been an email, but the luxurious stay more than made up for that flaw.

Stillwater perfect

Our family of 7 loved this home. Spacious and welcoming in a lovely neighborhood with views of the river. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and enjoyed breakfast on the enclosed porch. Every evening we enjoyed after dinner walks through the neighborhood.

Great home for family gathering

The home has a great central area with large, well-equipped kitchen and dining area that had plenty of room for a second table for games. In fact the kitchen had enough equipment and dishes that we cooked all but one meal (for 11-13!) during our 5 day stay. The view of the St. Croix from the house was very nice, and Stillwater is a charming community. The only caveat is that the description of the house is misleading. The "6th bedroom" is a bonus room over the garage, with the only access via outside stairs, and there is no bathroom. We were aware of this before we fully committed to the rental, but a more accurate description would be 5 bedrooms with a bonus room over the garage, given any bedroom would be expected to have a bathroom that you could reach without going outside to reach the house. There was a blow-up bed that we put in the living area to create a 6th sleeping space for our large group.

Wedding weekend

We had our family together for our daughter and new son’s wedding and it was the perfect home for us. Main level bedroom and bath for our parents, space above the garage for the “kids”, and beautiful rooms for morning coffee, breakfast, post-wedding pizza and relaxing in between. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us - it truly felt like home!

Great home!

Came to town with 11 friends for a much needed Dads golf trip getaway. The house is super clean and slept all of us (all in mid 30s) very comfortably. Kirk and Barb were very responsive on the VRBO app and were available for any questions I had by cell/text. We enjoyed it so much we may be coming back next year!

What A Treat!

Our group of Mothers and Daughters loved this home! It was beautiful, squeaky clean, well stocked and organized. The beds were comfortable and the linens were great quality. Don’t let the lengthy disclosure/contract scare you away. Just treat it as if it is your own home and all will be well. Any issues that we had in the booking, contractual stage and during our stay were handled promptly.

Great weekend getaway!

One of the cleanest vacation rentals I've ever stayed at - absolutely spotless. Beautifully decorated and comfortable home in a scenic location & great neighborhood - it was fun to walk around the neighborhood and check out the river views and other beautiful houses! Be prepared for a more involved reservation process that usual due to city ordinances - I was surprised to have to provide first and last names of all guests (including children, which made me apprehensive) and license plates numbers ahead of the stay. The check in process and stay itself was easily 5/5!

Beautiful and relaxing stay with friends

Our book club was having our 20th anniversary and decided to stay in Stillwater. There were nine of us and this home was the perfect, relaxing space to stay and spend time with one another. The house is absolutely beautiful and everything is in perfect condition. I can't imagine a better place for our group to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Barbra and Kirk Ackerman

Host profile image
We are married with grown children so we call that 'empty nested'. We love the St Croix River, Stillwater and general area. We enjoy boating and usually stay on our boat most of the warm weather season so our house is vacant and available at least 6 months out of the year. We decided to rent out vs. sell until we decide what we would like to do next. It is a big house for just the two of us so we decided to try VRBO since it is a nationally known site and introduces our home to more parties.

Why they chose this property

Quiet neighborhood, beautiful home and views.
Our home is known to be very clean and you will
have all the comforts of knowing this at check in.
The home will be all ready for your stay.
We love our location and Stillwater area is home to us.

What makes this property unique

The views of the St Croix, location and peaceful neighborhood.
Our home has been utilized by many groups but most often times families of wedding parties. Our home allows families to be together with having the comforts of home.
We will be happy to assist with any planning during your stay and have a good list of restaurant recommendations. We would be happy to make any or all reservations needed!
