Afton Carriage House on Asa Tracy's Estate

Afton boasts of places like the Afton Alps, (a Vail Property), and the Afton State Park, Multiple Apple Orchards to visit with a variety of apples and pumpkins! Summer or winter it's a place to visit. Visit Afton in the summer to kayak the St. Croix River or hit the biking trails or walking paths. Visit the quaint historic downtown shops or venture out for a day to nearby Historic Hudson, Wi. or Historic Stillwater, MN. Make some memories Skiing at Vail's very own Afton Alps. The Afton State Park is within hiking distance. In the fall the trees paint a palette of color in the hillside surrounding the river. It's "your time for me time." Learn the history of the St Croix Valley, from the first all-volunteer army of MN. during the Civil War, to the Great Lumber Baron's of the St Croix River. Historic places everywhere!

Lovely Clean Upper Apartment
Spotless, wonderful location close to town with several restaurants. Only negative is that it is on upper floor of duplex (Owner below) and there is a long staircase. One of the two bathrooms has a miniature size pedestal sink which is hard to use, but the second bath is nice. Had food and beverages included in refrigerator. That was especially appreciated. Kitchen is very pretty with beautiful cabinets and counters. Beds comfortable, nice linens.Would definitely stay there again

This was a great property- within walking distance of downtown Afton and close to the park. The host really spent time on the details and had so many little amenities that made it feel like such a treat to stay there. Highly recommend!

Beautifully decorated carriage house! Kitchen with all kinds of small appliances and wonderful dishes. Refrigerator was stocked with various kinds of water and juice, breakfast goodies and even eggs and butter! Tea, coffee, hot chocolate in a variety of flavors. Soft luxurious towels and pillows. Easy check in and out. It is on the upper level, but the stairs are wide and easy to use. Kathy has thought of everything! Loved our stay!

Afton Alps Ski weekend
The Afton Carriage house was a perfect "home base" for our family's first ski trip to Afton Alps. Kathy is such a welcoming and conscientious host. The house is gorgeous and the amenities like ready to make coffee and hot cocoa were much appreciated. We also had a few tasty dinners at the nearby restaurant Swirl. We hope to visit again.

Beautifully appointed apartment
The beds were very comfortable and mmmbedrooms elegantly decorated. If you are short, you may need a step stool! Lots of beverages provided and other treats. My only concern was fact that this is an upper level apartment and the stairs were a challenge for us older folks.

The most beautiful little carriage house !
My fiancé and parents and I stayed here as we had family in Woodbury. It was absolutely wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The amenities were never ending and the decor was my favorite. It’s in a perfect location, walking distance to wine bar, cocktail bars and restaurants. There are nice places to hike/walk as well. We are boat people and there is a marina nearby we walked to and we were surprised with the most stunning views of the colorful fall trees and St Croix river . We would definitely go back someday! Thanks for the hospitality!

Wonderful host; perfect stay!
Kathy provided such a cozy, relaxing place for us to spend the weekend! The carriage house layout is unique and fun, and it was very clean and fresh. Every cupboard/cabinet/closet+fridge was full of options for guests; the balcony was perfect for morning coffee; beds and couch were super comfy -- and there is a deer that wanders through once in a while! Our highest praise is for the host, who allowed us to transfer our reservation after Covid struck us at the very last minute before our booked stay. She was so gracious and accommodating, so we were still able to enjoy a weekend together. Thank you, Kathy!!

Afton Carriage House.
Three generations of my family spent Mother’s Day weekend at the Carriage House. Our host, Kathy, provided a lovely environment. I have never stayed in a location that was so completely stocked. We cooked most of our own meals and the kitchen was wonderfully furnished. Love the second story deck for eating outside. We even were given a welcome gift. Thank you. Exceptionally clean and comfortable.
