Perfect Vacation
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.

Gorgeous English cottage
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.
