some improvements needed
So much was excellent about this house except the exposed metal from partially removed heating along floor, ugly and dangerous. The only shower is in the master bath, the upstairs tub has a hand held hose like faucet that really does not work like a shower, the narrow stairs to the second floor were also dangerous, no handrail.

Family girls’ weekend
We really enjoyed the property! We had 8 people in our party and everyone raved about it. There was plenty of space, charm, and it was in a great location. It had a private country feel to it yet we were less than a 10 min drive to downtown Stillwater. The hosts were very responsive, thorough, and thoughtful!
