Lovely cottage with everything we needed! Carly was a thoughtful host and even accommodated a last‑minute check‑in change. The extra touches made us feel pampered, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the furniture was cute and cozy. Our dog loved it too. We’d happily stay again.

What a wonderful cottage! We really appreciated so much about this property, I’m not sure where to begin. There were thoughtful touches throughout (Kleenex, makeup remover packets, bottled water, post-it notes) that told me the owners had really thought through what guests might need or enjoy. The primary bedroom had a very comfortable bed that made me want to laze the day away, and the cozy throws in the living room were great for a night of streaming video. I actually made Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and wanted for nothing! (There was even a meat thermometer to check my turkey!) The location of the cabin was well situated with Stillwater, Afton Alps, and St. Paul, and it was easy to explore the area. Great hosts and great communication, too! Thanks so much!

This cottage is so charming. The prop is even better in person, and the owner makes everything so very easy. Place is immaculate, beds are comfy, bathroom and kitchen have all you need. The area is just lovely, and the street is quiet and safe.
