Beautiful, quiet, nicely designed, everything you need. The driveway was in bad shape, that’s my only complaint.
Absolutely gorgeous setting, quiet and peaceful (in fact I felt like I was laughing too loud quite a few times!). The cottage is uniquely lovely with gorgeous wood furniture, beams and countertops and a cozy feel. There is English dinnerware and many awesome books! We saw a fox one morning on the lawn which I foolishly scared away by opening the door. Large and sunny windows look out onto the lawn, it was so nice to eat breakfast with the sun and nature views pouring in! This is a perfect place for a quiet and relaxing vacation for one or two people. We went hiking or seeing friends that live in MN (or golfing for my husband) most days and came back to make dinner in the cottage. We are from FL and had hoped for a colorful and cool Fall vacation but it warmed up a lot. We did see some foliage in a few of the parks we hiked. I hope we can return at some point and stay here again. Like I said, it was a perfect place to sleep and relax after a day's adventures.
This is an immaculate cottage decorated by the owner, who is an English interior decorator by trade. It overlooks the St Croix River. It could not have been more charming.
Spacious
Perfect spot if you're looking for a beautiful and quiet place to relax. Everything was as presented and the attention to detail in furnishing the Cottage made it that more special. I would definately come back.
Never did this before. Very clean close to events yet far enough away to have privacy. Overall it was good.
The cottage was lovely and very clean, easy to feel at home immediately. The view was great, easily access to Stillwater and the Twin Cities.
Our stay at Scenic Overlook Cottage was wonderful! A true and genuine Old World Charm feel. The decor, dishes, beautiful windows, ample amount of space....along with the cozy and comfortable bed made our stay perfect!
Loved the location and the decor it is the PERFECT spot for relaxing yet so close to everything fun. Comfortable, has all the amenities you’d need to feel at home. Will certainly be rebooking in the future.
A little piece of heaven and England in Minnesota - (from the spotlessly clean, cozy and comfortable French/English interior to the English country garden landscaping) it was absolutely perfect! Louise and Martin have thought of everything! Every piece furniture to every dish is exceptional. Every necessity is carefully supplied and maintained. A little oasis away from everything while feeling right at home! AND walkable to Stillwater - (only a mile) beautiful walking and biking paths - yummy restaurants, incredible views and a fabulous St, Croix River Valley to explore! We miss it already! Thanks to Louise and Martin for sharing their little piece of heaven with the rest of us!
Beautiful property that is extremely quiet and peaceful. My husband and I were looking for a little getaway and this was perfect. Located close to downtown Stillwater, it was very convenient.
Had a nice relaxing stay at a beautiful property! Thank you!
We loved our stay at the cottage! It was perfect for our mini-honeymoon - quiet, lovely and secluded. Just what we needed after a magnificent wedding celebration! Highly recommend! Thank you.
The Scenic Overlook Cottage has been furnished and maintained with meticulous attention to detail. It is both charming and comfortable inside, and the scenic view through the huge windows includes the bridge, which is beautiful at all times of day and night.
This property is exactly as described. It is easily accessible to nearby downtown Stillwater, which is the cutest little town! I wish I could have enjoyed it more, but we had a blizzard during my stay. The owners checked on me regularly and cleared a path from the door to my car, cleaned off my car thoroughly and made sure the driveway was clear as well. Very accommodating and kind. The cottage was clean, well-stocked and organized. The bed was heavenly, and the heated floors kept it nice and cozy. I can't think of anything that I didn't have for my visit. I couldn't have asked for a better stay and hope to come again in better weather conditions. Thank you for sharing your cottage and your wonderful hospitatlity.
This is really a nice property and Louise and Martin are wonderful hosts. Clean and cozy with all the amenities you may need. Conveniently close to downtown Stillwater with its quaint shops and great restaurants.
This was our second time this year at the cottage. There is no better place to stay in the Stillwater area. A quick drive into town, across the river to Wisconsin, and 25 minutes to the Twin Cities. So cozy with the gas fireplace and eclectic furnishings!
By far our favorite place to stay when visiting family! Even the snow was glorious from the cottage. Great hosts, immaculate cottage!
Beautiful first floor stay in a beautiful and cozy, well-decorated and clean chateau-like home. Completely private. We travel often and what stood out to us was how everything we needed was there. No need to run out for paper goods or soap, games were even provided and comfy robes. Thank you. Great hospitality!
My best friend and I stayed here for 2 nights as a little girls getaway after we hosted my son's graduation. We needed some rest and quiet after a busy weekend and this property offered that! The scenery and surroundings are just beautiful. We drove into downtown and enjoyed walking around the small shops. Took a trolley ride to see the historic homes Stillwater has to offer. It was a lovely 2 days away and this space made it even more wonderful! I want to return with my husband now!
We had an amazing experience at this beautifully decorated cottage. We felt as if we had traveled to Europe for the weekend. So cozy and comfortable with impeccable attention to detail. It overlooks a beautiful property and gardens. A fun walk to downtown. What a gem! We will definitely be back.
Love the property! Easy to access and lovely. More relaxing than a hotel stay because it is like having your own place and yard to relax in. Close to town but quiet. Thank you for everything !
It was a nice place and area, I couldn´t adjust the heat, so it wasn´t very good. it vas very important due to the fact that I have cancer. i was bugged on my face and some ants on the couch. Had to spray chemicals, not good thing for me. TV didn´t work.
Met up with a friend from college to do some shopping and spend time catching up without children around. The property was beautiful everything was clean and well decorated!
