Stayed here once before and came back for a short business stay while I was working in the area. Location is again great and close to a fair bit of attractions in the area. Internet is still on the slow side, so for work it wasn’t the best. But, that’s totally fine! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient place to stay in the area.

David is a wonderful host that’s there if you need him but doesn’t feel the need to be involved with more than you require. We loved getting to check in to such a nice, calm, safe, and clean space for almost 7 weeks!
We will be back and we will be sending others their way!

Very comfortable and convenient to my family and yet easy to step away and not be under foot. Glad to have the refrigerator as the turkey stayed there until Thanksgiving day. Looking forward to my next visit in a couple weeks.

Renter beware~stay away from this property.
The property is dated, dirty, and not representative of the pictures on VRBO. Aside from a place to sleep, the space in uncomfortable, the bathroom was dirty, and the shower was like a power-washer~~had to strategically move in fear of losing a nip. My husband and I also came home with bites from all over our bodies, I can't confirm bedbugs, but it was from the bed. The TV did not work, and the wifi was horrible. The only thing that this place has to offer is the cute little town, Marine on the St. Croix. We spent way to much for three nights, which was a rip-off, I asked the owner for a small refund, and they will not respond. My family told me I could never choose a location again.

Very clean & quiet. I stayed during a few very cold winter days/nights & electric baseboard heat struggled to keep cozy warm temp inside unit. Property manager very responsive & accommodating. Very cool historic General Store with home style bread bakery. The town has a 100+ year old horn/siren that can go off in middle of night, which can be startling. Would be a fun place during summer months to take in more of the town & surroundings.

Very conveniently located to get easy access to different points of interest of State Parks and NPS St. Croix Scenic River. Building smells a little smokey at times, but individual unit has no smell and is pretty cozy for travel or work.

My daughter and I stayed here for a week to be close to a camp she was attending. The place was perfect for us - it was very clean, cozy, across the street from cute shops (we loved the ice cream shop), and the internet worked well so I was able to work all week. The hosts were very responsive to our questions/requests. We would stay here again.

Worked well for a girls weekend when we did I not want to stay right in Stillwater. Right between Stillwater and the state parks we wanted visit, so perfect location. Beautiful winery just a couple miles north. Walking distance to a nice bar and grill and a coffee shop.
Property could use a bit of outside work, many weeks and long grass. And a musty smell in the hallway leading from the back lot, very bad on hot day. But inside the apartment was well kept and clean. Overall what we expected.

We appreciated the location of this property within the larger St Croix river area. It was a great place to start adventures in Stillwater, William O'Brien State Park, Osceloa WI, and Taylors Falls MN.

The property rental process was very easy and went smoothly. The owners, David and Robin, communicated frequently with us and were great to deal with. We would definitely recommend unit #1 at this property.

I spent a week at the School House property, and it was an ideal spot to base for exploring the St. Croix River area. The property was clean and had everything I needed. You can walk to everything in Marine on St. Croix. (I especially liked the General Store!). Stillwater is just 10 minutes away, and two state parkes are just a short drive up Hwy 95.

We enjoyed our stay. The front patio is very uneven, tripping hazard. The patio needs to be blown off of debris. The first step in the front is loose. To walk from the rear parking area the hallway is terribly musty smelling. We enjoyed seeing the deer and bunnies!

I went in the off-season for a writing retreat. The place was perfect, the internet access Zoom capable, and the local general store staff bent over backward to be helpful.
