Overlooks St. Croix River Crossing

Nestled on a hillside in beautiful Stillwater Minnesota, Scenic Overlook Cottage overlooks one of the most beautiful waterways in the Midwest; the St. Croix River. This cottage is attached to a French Normandy-style house and is a very private, ample 1200 square feet. A European immersion experience will enhance this perfect spot for a getaway. This special and memorable home has been highlighted in Better Homes and Gardens. It is a premium property at a preferred location.
It is located within a comfortable 25-minute walk, an 8th of a mile, to downtown Stillwater, either through a beautiful historic neighborhood or along a bike/walking path along the river. At the bottom of your cottage driveway is Stillwater’s southern scenic overlook where you will get the best view of the new St. Croix Crossing Bridge into Wisconsin.
Sweeping French doors into a bedroom, a full kitchen and bar, living and dining room area and a bathroom with shower all on one level makes the cottage easily accessible and livable for short stays or an extended stay. There are a lot of great restaurants, sightseeing and activities within easy reach. Bikers Welcome! There always events in Stillwater which can be found at the DiscoverStillwater website.
Highlights are:
World Ice Sculpting Competition
Lumberjack Days
Art in the Park
Ice Palace
Canoe, Kayak and Bike rentals

Best of Stillwater
This was our second time this year at the cottage. There is no better place to stay in the Stillwater area. A quick drive into town, across the river to Wisconsin, and 25 minutes to the Twin Cities. So cozy with the gas fireplace and eclectic furnishings!

Cozy and Beautifully Designed
This was a wonderful stay for my wife and I this winter. It had more than enough space for us to write and work, but felt cozy at the same time. It's clean and put together beautifully. The space was completely remodeled and felt like new. Louise and Martin were the best! Kind and accommodating. Couldn't ask for better hosts.
