I booked this house for the groom’s family to all stay together- there were 12 of them. I toured the house before their arrival. I wish I could have stayed there myself! They raved about the house and how perfect everything was. It was a beautiful weekend in Stillwater and this mansion on the hill is so conveniently located with excellent views . Very happy with the rental

The Durant House was the perfect spot for home base for our daughter’s wedding! Brian was easy to communicate with and understood we were busy with wedding festivities so was patient when things came up, like cars parked on the wrong side of the street. :) The house has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms so we never felt crowded. Would highly recommend! It’s a beautiful historic home and the location is perfect to enjoy the fun in Stillwater.

For Christmas, my mom asked for the whole family to be together. With us scattered around the country, this big house was a perfect spot for us to converge. Plenty of space for the grandkids to enjoy their new games and play on their phones, us adult "kids" (in our 50s) to work on a puzzle and watch movies & football on TV, and all 11 of us to eat together at the dining room table. The house was festively decorated, and had enough beds and bedrooms for us all to sleep comfortably. We had a wonderful stay.

Ten of us gathered for a girlfriend reunion (class of 1978 friends). The house was in a word, spectacular! This well-appointed home was perfect for our stay. From the tremendous sleeping options (beds for all) and the numerous bathrooms, to the provided amenities, lovely and plentiful linens, well-stocked kitchen, lovely gathering spaces, comfortable living room, beautiful dining room (seats 10), and perfect coffee bar...this property was everything we hoped it would be and more. The location is simply spectacular too...just a block to the South HIll staircase and downtown Stillwater. The grounds were fabulous too with beautiful outdoor seating spaces (front and side porch areas) and a perfect fire-pit for a campfire. The view of the river from the many windows and backyard area made it an especially lovely location. The parking was the icing on the cake...plenty of room for our many cars. The communication with the host was easy and prompt. I/we highly recommend this property for your upcoming visit to the Stillwater area (would be perfect for a family reunion, gathering for a special occasion (wedding/other), or vacation in the beautiful St. Croix River Valley. We lucked out and found ourselves in the area during the Harvest Festival and were fortunate to have beautiful fall weather to enjoy the outdoor spaces. The only thing that was missing was a ladle for our soup...other than that, our stay was terrific!

The Durant Home was perfect for our weekend in Stillwater. From the start, booking was easy and the host communication was excellent. I had many questions and requests before our arrival, and all were answered promptly and complete. The home is located on top of a hill and the views were gorgeous. It is conveniently located close to historic downtown Stillwater. The home itself was one of the most beautiful VRBO homes we have ever visited. It was spotless and ready for our arrival. Kitchens and baths were fully stocked. The beds were comfortable and easily slept our party of 12. The newly renovated 3rd floor loft area was incredible and will be an amazing once it is completely finished. All of the outdoor porches around the house were so quaint and an added bonus. Thanks so much for our wonderful weekend and we will definitely be coming back to your gorgeous home!
