Artful & Inviting 1880's historic Stillwater home

The home was located in a quiet area and was warm and inviting. The kitchen was well equipped. The two porches were nice places to relax and read or visit. The wonderful weavings and pottery throughout the home added to its beauty and charm.

We had a lovely little family reunion and Stillwater at Florence’s house. Funny enough, Florence was the name of my grandmother as well.The host was easy to work with, the place was very clean, beds were comfortable, the garden was lovely, and the kitchen offered all the pots and pans knives we needed to create great family meals.

My sisters and I loved staying in this quaint, historic and artsy home. The atmosphere and neighborhood provided us a peaceful and relaxed stay for us to enjoy our time with each other. The house had lots of sitting areas. We appreciated all the amenities...Kitchen was well equipped, a large yard with gardens, wood for the fire ring and enjoyed the labyrinth. Melanie was Wonderful!

This historic home is absolutely lovely - very homey inside so you can totally relax and enjoy your surroundings. The yard has lots of flowers and seating - and a labyrinth - to enjoy the weather. Each bedroom has a dresser and the upstairs has a shared closet. The toddler bed was really the size of a small twin bed, so one of us slept comfortably on it. The owner was very accommodating and checked in on us after our arrival. The artwork in the home is sensational and we thoroughly enjoyed our 5-woman reunion in this nicely laid out, comfortable home. Would highly recommend!

Melanie's home was lovely in every way. Cozy, clean, whimsical, artsy. The books, art throughout the home, and the pottery were all a very nice touch. We prepared a couple dishes, and ate out at some of the local restaurants in Stillwater as well. Downtown was in pretty close proximity. We walked it once, but then decided to drive therafter as the stairs that lead you to downtown area are a bit of a killer! We did not find the kitchen or home to lack anything at all. We really appreciated and enjoyed our lovely stay at this home in Stillwater. A+!!!!!!!

We frequently rent homes from VRBO and others. This was the best property we visited all year! The location was convenient, the neighborhood was great and safe, and the house was one of a kind. The wifi was fast. Highly recommend this place!!

Melanie was a wonderful host. She was very accommodating and her property and home were quaint and well furnished for our stay. It was the perfect place for our yearly friends getaway. Stillwater MN is a beautiful town to visit and explore also.

Florence’s/ Stillwater was a wonderful place to spend our annual besties girls weekend. The location was excellent - so many beautiful homes and only a 25 minute or so walk to downtown Stillwater. Great indoor and outdoor space to hang out and chat. We had a great time. The home looks like the pictures and location was better than expected.

Great location, charming and very comfortable, with well equipped kitchen. Do read the history of the house by Melanie. It adds so much to the spirit of the house! Melanie also provides biking maps and suggestions for those interested. Planning to return some day!

I stayed in this lovely home with my daughter and three granddaughters. We didn't lack a thing. The weather during our stay was very hot and humid, but we were perfectly comfortable in the air conditioning. My youngest granddaughter and I loved the labyrinth in the yard. Communicating with the owner was always easy and pleasant. I highly recommend staying here while in Stillwater.
