We (seven women) have been tripping together for book club retreats for 18 years, and between us have a lot of additional experience with VRBO stays. Meadowlark is a comfortable cottage with inviting spaces and plenty of room for alone time as well. Management is very responsive. The location combines the beauty of nature and close proximity to historic downtown Stillwater.

We traveled from Cincinnati to Stillwater for our son's wedding. Meadowlark Cottage was the perfect place for our family! There was lots of room for all of us to talk and catch up. We enjoyed gathering around the big dinning room table to eat and play games! We took the canoe out a few times and enjoyed sitting around the firepit at night. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with and enough plates and glasses for the whole gang. There was only a few spices so if you plan on cooking you will need to bring everything you will need. They had coffee to start off a couple of days which was greatly appreciated! The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of extra blankets! Nathan and Kathy were both very quick to respond to my emails. We needed some extra towels and Kathy brought them right over. The house is very close to downtown Stillwater which was perfect since the rehearsal dinner was at Brian's (the food was fantastic!) and the wedding was on Anastasia riverboat! I highly recommend Meadowlark Cottage and would definitely stay here again! Thanks Kathy and Nathan for a great VRBO!

This was a great place for our small group of girls to gather and reminisce 50 plus years of friendships. The location was private and comfortable. The driving distance to Stillwater’s activities was short.

The house is a gem! We’d stay again for sure!

We enjoyed our stay in Stillwater! The house had everything we needed! Great location!

The house is located on a lake in Stillwater, which is not suitable for swimming or floating. The location to the downtown area was perfect, just a few minute drive or could be walkable if you don’t mind a few hills. Several bedrooms provided lots of space for guests with a few common areas that had additional sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is well stocked to make your favorite meals. The hosts were very quick to respond to questions.

Great location for enjoying downtown Stillwater. Nice and private.

The house is on a unique spot on the lake with a private drive and made for a great private stay. Thanks

Beautiful location! Peaceful & Relaxing. All the amenities you need for your stay.

We booked this home to start our vacation in the MSP area. We went to different activities during the day then re-grouped later in the day/evening. It was a great and easy drive to MSP from this house. We went to Stillwater one day and loved the Lift Bridge and dinner at the Dock. We loved staying on the lake. The sunsets were amazing. We walked around the lake every day (almost 2 miles around) and my husband used the provided canoe, which worked out great. We used the washer/dryer which was helpful as we started a long road trip based out of this house. Having a bedroom in the basement was great for our oldest teenager to give him some privacy. We also used the hot tub and it worked great. I would definitely stay again if visiting the area.

This is our 8th summer staying at the cottage. My kids have grown up staying there and it feels like home when we are there. The setting of the cottage is our favorite. Private and the sunset over the lake is one you will never forget. Our family looks forward to staying here every summer. The town of Stillwater has so much to offer. Great restaurants, shopping and Nelson’s ice cream are among our favorites. You will not be disappointed.

Brought California family to experience MN lake life. Great time! Bedroom with two queen beds had air mattress as second queen which didn’t seem to stay inflated. Couldn’t find the oil for the tiki torches, but everything else was perfect. Very responsive hosts, beautiful views, lots of amenities. Would recommend, plus the family wants to come back. Thanks!

7 girlfriends stayed at the house. The accommodations were great. The table was great for dining and playing games. We used the sunroom in the morning for chatting and drinking coffee. There were enough beds to make us comfortable. The kitchen and pantry were stocked with everything we needed. The pantry was also a great asset with the extra sink! We loved the retro feel and looking at the water was calming. I would highly recommend this house for a group getaway! Two bathrooms

House was clean and organized. Owner left great directions for use of items around the house. Very compfortable. Thank You!!!

Great location and sufficient for our needs! We enjoyed our time in Stillwater.

We cannot say enough about this hidden gem. It couldn't have been more perfect for our family! We loved the charm & character of the home but the outdoor scenery was stunning! The sunset over the water was breathtaking! We enjoyed the hot tub, canoe, kayak and the fire pit was perfectly positioned to enjoy the lake views. The beds were comfty. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed and the pictures and online descriptions were very accurate! This rental far exceeded our expectations and we would love to come back if our travels bring us back to Stillwater! If you get a chance and love ice cream, you must visit Nelsons...trust me, you wont be disappointed!

This house was perfect for the 6 of us! There was plenty of room, beautiful view of the lake and grounds. The house was clean and had cabinets full of items to use. The owner was good with communication. Thank you!

We had a great stay. We were able to get an early check in which was outstanding for our group. 4 of us rented this property for playing BoardGames so we didn’t really use any of the amenities. All around a great place.

Great weekend away with the girls! Weather didn't cooperate but the host was responsive and helpful and did everything he could to make sure we had what we needed.

The house was lovely and had everything we needed. Great location as well. We had a little bit of trouble with the front door lock, but overall we had an excellent stay.

Loved staying here. Our 2nd time visiting MN and this year we needed a larger house. This property was perfect for our large group. Hoping we can come back in the summer and enjoy the property even more. Very accommodating! Will be coming back and staying again.

Excellent location!!! Great house and spaces!! Well stocked kitchen! Would definitely stay here again

This is the second time hosting our company work retreat at this property. It is a great setup for us with the large dining/living open space. The 4 bedrooms work great. Thanks for another great stay!

My sister and I brought our adult and teenage girls for a girls weekend. The house was perfect for making meals with a well equipped kitchen, close to shopping, great for movie watching and a walk around the water.

The VRBO was very clean and accommodating. My group of long-term friends enjoyed the overall charm of the home and its setting on the lake. Nathan, my contact, was always immediately available for response to any questions prior to our stay and while there. We hope to rent and enjoy again!

It was a bit too cold to fully enjoy the yard but beautiful house for a short girls getaway!

Great view. Good location

Overall a positive experience, beds are uncomfortable and need updating,for a five turn around wouldn’t have expected any dust, most windows covered with webs and at this price I was not expecting to strip the sheets on the beds but maybe this is a common VRBO thing, this was my first VRBO. These are minor and the overall take away was very good!

The lake was lovely and we enjoyed the proximity to Stillwater. What we did not like were the lack of towels in the bathrooms, uncomfortable mattresses and creaky beds, hairs in the guest room, and the downstairs smelling like a basement. The house has potential but we left a day early to get a good night’s sleep.

This place exceeded my expectations. Comfortably housed nine adults. Very well stocked. Beautiful yard and hot tub. Lovely setting on a lake. Felt secluded but within minutes of downtown Stillwater. Even better than the pictures!

The house was roomy and clean. We especially enjoyed the firepit with plenty of seating. We would stay here again.

This place was absolutely perfect. Our family was celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary in Stillwater and this place was the perfect combination of lake cabin while being close to downtown. Ample space and gorgeous lakefront sunsets views made this a remarkable experience. Plenty of space to gather around the table or the fire. It was perfect.
