Cottage holiday rentals in Saint Croix River

beautiful home to stay in, better than the pictures suggested. very cozy and a great place to relax after exploring Minnesota. the hot tub is a wonderful addition, and I highly recommend walking down and watching the sunrise in the morning.

We stayed for an extended Super Bowl/birthday weekend and had a great time. Super responsive to messages when there was a very small issue and checked in multiple times to make sure all was well. We would love to go back in summer. Very efficient space for a large group and the new hot tub was a hit with everyone in our party. Thank you!

Very nice clean place. We went for a relaxing weekend away and that is what we got. Things to go do that are not far, but a distance that allows your time at house to be peaceful. Bethany was great at giving the details needed and quick to respond. Thank you for allowing us to stay and relax

We had a great time staying at the cottage and Brittney was really quick to respond to questions and messages throughout the stay. We would definitely stay again and would recommend renting out both cabins for a larger group :)

The hosts, Katie and Curt, were very friendly and responsive. The hot tub on the patio was a big bonus. I also enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and watching the trolley go by through the woods ($3 to take the short historic ride). And just a few minutes to walk to Lake Harriet pavilion to take in some live music or walk around the lake. I’m excited to come back sometime for this relaxing get-away!

Nathan’s place was great! It’s walkable to downtown Stillwater, and the home itself is funky and fun. Nathan was a kind and responsive host, and he accommodated our needs well. Definitely worth the stay. Thank you!

What a charming, cozy and spotless cottage in a very private setting! The description was on point! Very quiet, wonderful neighbors and accessible to parks, restaurants, shopping, etc. Communication with the host was excellent with any concerns! She was lovely to chat with. I would definitely book again! Susan C.

My pup and I felt right at home. comfortable beds and a beautiful view of the lake...what more could a weary traveler ask for? really awesome place. highly recommend...

My dog and I were on a road trip back to the east coast, and I selected Lisa's place due to it's location and for being dog friendly - we stayed one night. I really liked Lisa's place. It was clean, cozy, and had everything a traveler would need. The house was nestled in a really nice, established neighborhood just outside of the city center, which I thoroughly enjoyed seeing on foot with my dog. There was a great veteran-owned coffee shop (Rick's) just a short two-block walk from the house, which itself was dog friendly (dogs allowed in to order, with a dog friendly patio outside). Lisa had set a dog bed out in the living room for us, which I thought was super thoughtful. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and experience, and would recommend Lisa's place to anyone traveling to or through Minneapolis.

From the moment I booked, the owners messaged me and when we got onsite we were welcomed with a beautiful note and local Wisconsin beer! It was a beautiful relaxing weekend!

The place was just what it said it was. It was clean, she had fun snacks and drinks for us. Every thing you need is right there and more. She communicated well with me. It was so easy to check in and out. Love it and highly recommend for girls get away.

Loved this cabin. Unfortunately, it rained most of the weekend, but while we didn’t get to do what we had envisioned we were still able to catch some rainbow trout on their beautiful grounds and played a multitude of games they had for at the cabin. Sere is super responsive to any needs. Highly recommend all around.

A sweet little cabin on a sheltered side of Lake Chetek. Kayaks and canoe available for use along with a grill and fire pit. Everything was convenient, clean, and in good shape! A well cared for little spot. Nice getaway.

A perfect home base for a stay in St. Paul, near colleges, good grocery stores and shops. We enjoyed the convenient access and on-street parking. The compact footprint of the house makes it best for one person or a small group. The stairs and tight bathroom are fine for able adults but might not work for folks with mobility issues. The basic kitchen was ideal for the simple we prepared and enjoyed at the spacious light-filled dining room. We enjoyed the house very much and hope to come back.

Perfect place for our quick mini-moon getaway. Nice and cozy on a quiet part of the lake, where I was able to fish off the dock (caught a few including a bass and a northern) while my wife and dog watched while reading a book from the comfy outdoor lounge chairs. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals and a nice coffee maker for our morning coffee and tea. The house was also extremely clean and everything was in working order. Hayward itself had plenty to do, despite us being about a week early for most of the summer activities. Donna was a very easy host to work with. She reached out prior to our trip with instructions for check-in. She also proactively reached out to make sure everything was going smoothly. We would highly recommend a stay here if you’re looking for a very nice, dog friendly, stay on the lake.

The house was super clean, exactly as described. Peaceful, quiet area. The beach areas were very nice and we had them to ourselves basically. The golf course was great and the PAR3 course was great for the kids to try. Caught tons of fish straight from the shore, the club house is walkable, overall it was great, would highly recommend.

If you ever want a true lake house experience with all of the fun but none of the dreaded lake house chores this is the place for you. It’s cosy and comes with all the amenities. The owner is a genuinely nice person. You are within driving distance of several “oh fer cute” Minnesota towns and the lake is right outside your door!

We spent a few days here with our three kids (ages 8, 5, and 2) and it was the perfect getaway. The property is gorgeous with the lake being shallow and great for littles to swim in. Tina was an exceptional host and even brought our kids some activities to do on the rainy days. We highly recommend this cabin and hope to be back some day!

Stacy’s place was cute and cozy for our five person group. We especially loved the assortment of games and puzzles that were available and the family history of the cabin!

Our stay at the Cozy Cottage was AMAZING! Katie met us at the house, gave us some background about the place and walked us through the whole property. Katie was so responsive and was able to accommodate an early check-in which was SO helpful. We will definitely be back!!

We enjoyed our Minimoon here. Was great. Nothing bad to say, other than we clearly didn’t thoroughly read the posting because we were shocked that it was a guest house! Our fault. But anyway, very clean and nice! Would for sure recommend.

Thank you again for another beautiful stay Bethany. The weather was warm enough this time where we got to enjoy smores on the campfire and sat on the dock to watch the beautiful northern lights play across the sky. We hope to come visit again in the not too distant future. Be well and thank you for everything, Karen
