This was a beautiful place to stay! The room is gorgeous and the staff at the farm were super friendly. They even left the most delicious vegan banana cranberry bread for a morning snack. Don't hesitate to visit this farm!

We had a great one night stay. Kara is a thoughtful host who is engaging but gave us much privacy and full access to her home. Kara's home is a beautiful old farmhouse and the guest room is a very spacious attic master suite. The bed is comfortable, nice pillows, romantic and private. The animal sanctuary is really fun. The animals are hilarious! Every animal has a story and Kara is a joy to be around with the animals. The whole place has a good vibe. We felt very welcome and plan on another 24 hour vacation from the city sooner than later.

Soul Space is a human sanctuary as well as an animal sanctuary. Everything about the place reminds you to stop, breathe and enjoy. All the animals are kid- friendly and you can get right in the pens with them. The room is at the top of a 150 year old house. It's perfect for a romantic weekend for an animal loving couple. Don't be surprised to see a chicken run through the kitchen on the main floor! The Airbnb space Is private, large and very nicely appointed with amenities and lots of nooks for lounging, reading, playing games, doing yoga etc. if you feel the price is on the higher side I would say consider it a donation to a worthy cause- your peace of mind and a non- profit that is trying to remind people that animals feel pain too.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and stayed at the farmhouse. Though we didn't get to meet Kara, she had wonderful and helpful volunteers (Beth and Hanna) show us around. The suite is beautifully done and we can tell how much hard work Kara put into it! The bathroom with a luxurious jacuzzi greets you when you walk into your private suite. Up the steps is the room - it's super spacious with the cutest napping nook and very comfortable bed. Tons of amenities: coffee, mini fridge, basic dishes, AC, small lounge area with books and games, lots of blankets, etc. It was so cozy. We were debating if we should skip the wedding just to spend more time there ;) In the morning, Beth made a pot of coffee and offered DELICIOUS vegan snacks made by Kara's mom. Please send me the recipe for the carub cookies!!! Saving the best for last, we were greeted by so many loving animals. Duke and Lainey were the first to say hello. And then we found Ferrard in our suite. She loved up on my husband and since then he has said he misses her daily! Beth was kind to give us a little tour of the farm the following morning and introduced us to all the farm animals and told us their story. We had such a wonderful experience and we already look forward to our next stay! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness!

Kara's sanctuary exceeded any and all expectations we had. She was a gracious and accommodating host. She is a walking Yelp of great recommendations for food. More so, a wealth of knowledge. 10/10 would stay again.

SoulSpace Sanctuary is a very special place. My friend and I stayed with Kara for one night. Right when we arrived, we met Kara with a smiling face. She first gave us a tour of her clean, organized, open and beautiful house. The vibes in there are great! Our living quarters were in the attic which has been redone and is absolutely stunning, full of books and a great, relaxing place to get away. I was worried that we would be woken up by the roosters at the crack of dawn, but we didn't hear anything! We spent a good amount of time with the animals, which was quite incredible. Being from the city, I have never gotten so much free time to just hang out with farm animals, especially pigs, goats and sheep. The animals were all AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I felt so happy the whole time I was there. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anybody looking for a unique, fun and rewarding experience. Thank you Kara!!

This place is an amazing retreat. If you're in a rough spot in life, the sanctuary feels like a hug. All the creatures there are happy to see you, happy to see each other. It makes life's problems feel infinitely smaller. Kara was a wonderful host with a great story. She left us banana bread (which did not survive the night), a bottle of wine, and an assortment of snacks. The room is beyond spectacular. Be sure to have Kara take you out to the quarry either at dusk or just after sunrise. It's gorgeous. And maybe bring bug spray. For the folks that like to have late nights out on the town while they're away, New Richmond is not the place for you. Stay at this Airbnb for some much needed and unexpected peace of mind. You won't want to get out of the tub anyway. That thing was bomb.

Our stay was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Kara and the dozens of rescue farm animals who live at Soulspace. If you're even remotely into animals, make sure to budget enough time to interact with and get to know the furry, hairy, and feathered occupants. They are all just delightful. The pictures and descriptions of the house and the rooms are accurate, but no single camera angle can convey just how spectacular the renovated attic (bedroom space) is. We'll be recommending this place to friends—and we'll be back.

Great place! Will come back

Quiet and quaint, yet very close to New Richmond. Super friendly host and private entrance and dwelling. Incredible aromas fill the space, matched with an incredible view both at night and at dawn. Wish we could have lingered longer. A destination of its own!

We had a lovely, peaceful, and very affordable 1-night stay at Melanie's home. The bedroom was situated in a walk-out basement, a cheerful space with ample natural light streaming inward. Right outside the sliding doors is a small patio area where you can take in the natural sights. (Melanie maintains beautiful herb and flower gardens, a soothing experience that we are not wholly afforded in the cities.) The bathroom and kitchen are technically shared, but I sense that in many cases you may have these areas to yourself as we largely did. Melanie's ebullience is uplifting, and she and her husband will make you feel welcome. As per her description, they do seem to spend plenty of time outdoors. So you will have the opportunity to interact if you enjoy wandering the grounds as we did. Harry, the black poodle, was my husband's new best buddy while we were there. Harry's favorite activity seems to be playing frisbee, and he loves to have playmates. We crashed at Melanie's after a day of hiking at Interstate State Park, about 25 to 30-minutes northeast of Melanie's. In the evening, we grabbed a bite to eat in town (options are fairly limited but we found a reasonable spot with veggie-friendly offerings). Afterwards, we enjoyed a brief creek-side stroll in Star Prairie (across from the Cedar Creek Inn), a recommendation from Melanie. We left early the next morning, but not before one final garden tour and bidding the pygmy goats farewell. Before leaving the area we made a pit stop at Saratoga Springs Nature Reserve (another spot-on recommendation) for a morning walk through the woods, and then we were off to Osceola for some kayaking down the Saint Croix. All in all, a sweet stay as part of our refreshing getaway from the cities. A good weekend was had, without a hard hit to the wallet!

This was my first time using AirBnB so I didn't know what to expect but everything was perfect. Melanie was very friendly and helpful and the place had everything I could've needed. I was very pleased with the whole thing.

This place is perfect for a quiet getaway where you can relax and stretch your legs. The hosts are so welcoming and make you feel at home immediately. What a wonderful weekend!

Melanie's place was a quiet, serene escape from any hustle and bustle you might find with other stays. Separate entrance and small kitchen, clean environment. A close to town rural property made for a peaceful stay after a busy day. As an Apothocary, Melanie runs a very unique, interesting business and was very available to answer questions regarding this skill. The bed was SO comfortable - I had the most restful sleep I've had in ages! Room was a bit cool, mind you this could have been due to seasonal changes. All in all, excellent value for the price. If you are looking for something different, I would suggest this property.

Simple yet just what I needed for a little personal getaway!

Charming place. Firm mattress.

Bill and Sere are wonderful hosts. They were welcoming and accommodating. The cabin is amazing! The cabin is truly beautiful and comfortable. It is a lovely place to relax and unwind. We greatly appreciated the cabin, the land, and the great hosts.

Bill and Sere were wonderful host and now friends. I showed up late the evening of my stay, they were very generous with their time. She made me a delicious breakfast the following day! If you need a quiet getaway this is perfect. Plenty to do there to keep you busy to.

What a great place to spend the weekend! The options here are endless--hanging out by the fire pit, fishing in the pond, napping in the hammock by the water, relaxing in the sauna, walking around the property... It was a perfect slice of seclusion and nature, without having to sacrifice too many luxuries. Also, Bill was great at communicating. He was out of town during my stay, but made check-in very easy over the phone and answered all of my calls if I had any questions. Highly recommend!

Waking up on my birthday and being able to see my family enjoying themselves at the trout pond catching fish and frogs and tadpoles made me smile. My husband and kids had a blast fly fishing and all of us loved canoeing. I really liked that Bill and Sere opened their property to us and weren't worried about us mishandling the canoe or fly rods and just left us to it. Sere was welcoming and showed us around the cabin to give us a mini tour and was attentive with our needs. The cabin itself was clean and cozy. The futon mattresses were comfy for me and my husband. We slept good on the futon mattresses and the kids liked sleeping in the loft area. There was an a/c unit we turned on to cool the cabin down and we opened the windows at night to let in a nice breeze. We could hear the songs of crickets and frogs through the windows. It was wonderful not having any bright lights out side to shine through the windows. THE STARS ARE AMAZING there. Everything was great besides the outhouse toilet. The toilet sucked. Its a mini-port 'o toilet. The bowl is not big enough to hold much waste and doesn't drain. It would be better with an in-ground outhouse but I am not sure if they could do that with the water table level on the property. Maybe, A barrel cistern that could be pumped out when full? The cabin itself is on a nice setting, with the pond in front of the cabin and the swamp and woods behind. You can see Bill and Sere's home across the pond but no one was out in the yard during our stay and it's far enough away that it wouldn't matter for those people who'd rather be left alone. Sere let me and my little girl take showers in the main house which was very nice of her. This was our second airbnb stay for a Birthday present from my husband. It was a nice experience and I am glad we chose to stay here.

My friend and I stayed here for the Summerset Music Festival. We were pretty surprised by the area. Very nice couple.

Loved it!

Very quiet and relaxing place with lots to do! It's a close drive to a variety of fun places to visit.

My friends and I stayed here for a weekend and it was fantastic. My review won't be able to do it justice, but I'll give it a shot. It is perfect for a relaxing getaway, but it's not too far away to be able to find something to do. The hosts are great. They let us have our privacy, but they made themselves available for us if we needed them. They are very knowledgeable about things to do in the area, and they wanted to make sure we had a good time. The cabin is small, but it never felt like we were crammed in there. The pond is from a natural spring so it's a bit on the cold side, but it is crystal clear so you can watch the fish as they swim around. If you're looking for an up north getaway without having to go all the way up north then this is the perfect place to stay. I can't put into words how great it was, so I'll just have to recommended you stay there and experience it for yourself.

The cabin was very close to the lake and was able to take the canoe out. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. My wife and I didn't want to do much but just relax inside the cabin. The driveway entrance was a little hard to find so keep a close eye out for it. Also, may be a bit tricky with a larger, longer type vehicle in the driveway (turning around and such)...we have a small toyota so it was fine. Great, relaxing getaway.

This place is absolutely wonderful! Beautiful, quiet, comfortable. The owners are close enough to help with anything you may need, but offer enough seclusion that you can truly escape and relax in privacy. I definitely plan to visit again.

This rustic cabin is wonderful! A real find. Peaceful mornings, beautiful view, within 20 minutes of great hiking areas, and lots of nature. The hosts are pleasant and willing to help with anything you need.

Secluded and peaceful. This wonderful little cabin was exactly what we were hoping for, just far enough off the beaten path. The owners were extremely nice, personable and ready to help out with anything we needed. We will definitely look into staying here again.

Great stay! Would go back in a heart beat

We had a great Air Bnb experience at the Cozy Barn Loft: straight-forward communication, a very sweet and homey space, and arrival/departure couldn't have been easier. The location is a five-minute drive from Stillwater - a perfect distance to keep everything super accessible while also maintaining some quiet.

Marty and Chelseas place is perfect for a couples getaway or a getaway with the kids. The property is beautiful! If you're looking for the perfect quiet private spot near the city this is if. You're so close to downtow, b Stillwater, but at Marty and Chelsea you get seclusion and privacy. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back. The loft is awesome. The firepit rocks. I can't say enough how great this place is. You won't be disappointed.

Very aesthetically pleasing decor for a relaxed getaway for 2!

Outstanding Airbnb experience! Superb hosts and delightful accommodation. Very relaxing location and we loved the goats and cows. Highly recommended!

I don't know about you, but I find watching cows graze the most relaxing thing in the world, (aside from ocean waves :-) ) At Marty and Chelsea's, you have that opportunity from the window of your barn-bedroom (or right next to their pastures - they are very friendly). And there is nothing cuter than babies - one of the cows will be calving in November. We enjoyed our stay with The Dycks, who were friendly, engaging and relaxed. Their hobby farm is just north of the charming town of Stillwater. There is plenty to do, with the St Croix River literally across the road. If you are planning a trip up the scenic byway, this is a good place for a stopover.

Loved this quiet and secluded place. Cozy loft apartment with country privacy but an easy drive to Stillwater. Visited as get-away weekend but would love to return with child. Hosts were helpful at every step. We especially appreciated that they did not make fun of us for having flip phone.

Cutest place we've stayed at!! Marty and Chelsea were super easy to work with and got back to me quickly with any questions I had. If we ever make it back to Stillwater, we will be staying in the barn loft again for sure! Thanks again guys!

This was a great respite for us on our travels. It was also a greqt place for our dog. Theres was a congenial host and made us very welcome. If I was traveling with just my husband, I would definately stay again. It was a little cramped for 4 people.

Special touches and good communication. Ask about the "beer tab bear". Wish we could have walked the trails but it was a short stay.

Theres' place was just what we were looking for, quiet and secluded. A nice break from the stress of the city. The patio was beautiful, and inside was cozy and comfortable. The wine and snacks were an unexpected treat, and her dog Jem was adorable!

Perfect getaway! So nice to have our pups join too! The home space was very comfortable, clean, and inviting. It was well stocked with everything we needed. We made good use of the beautiful outdoor space surrounding her home. It was fun to enjoy the extras including hammock time, a bonfire, and summer night s'mores! Easy location with access to nearby state parks and other attractions. We hope to visit again, and would highly recommend to others!

If you're looking for the ultimate in peaceful, serene surroundings, it just doesn't get any better than here. The wooded trail is beautiful and well maintained, the apartment is clean, and cozy, and there are all kinds of little surprises to be found and enjoyed all over the yard. From the tranquil fountain at the side of the porch of the apartment to the hammock and fire pit in the front yard, peace is the best word to describe the surroundings here.

Theres place was very welcoming, clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. Her property is beautiful. A great place, if like me, you just want to spend a couple days unwinding and relaxing.

Very nice apartment with a beautiful setting

This was the perfect place to get away on a rainy weekend. The apartment was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. Theres ensured that I had everything I needed and even provided special treats for me and my dog. Beau loved being able to run in the fields with Jem and we both enjoyed the walk! Thank you for the perfect relaxing weekend!

Mj and her husband are the reason I love Airbnb. It felt like we were visiting long lost relatives…a welcoming home, a delightful evening tea service, amazing fresh breakfast with all the trimmings and great conversation! We hope to stay there again sometime soon! Thank you to our lovely hosts!!

MJ's Place is just beautiful! The home is spacious, very clean, well maintained and well appointed. The accommodations were most comfortable, with every detail taken care of. Located in a peaceful and picturesque neighborhood...great for walks. I enjoyed my conversations with MJ and Jyoti - both are hospitable and helpful. Breakfast was made just the way I wanted. Thank you for an excellent stay in Hudson, WI. I hope to be back this way soon as this place is a gem.

Great place and wonderful breakfast! Mj amd her husband were bery accommodating to our dietary preferrences and made wonderful organic breakfasts for ia. There house is very spacious. The room we stayed in had a great comfy bed and there was even a small room next to it where my wife and I could look out windows and read books. Mj and Joety had let us use there living space down stairs to watch movies one night. Those two were great to talk with at breakfast and in the evenings. They are very friendly and interesting. The dog was friendly and kept to itself. Their place was so quiet especially for us since we have sleeping issues, but not at Mj's! They are located very close to Stillwater and the new bridge provided easy access. I would recommend going to the Chilkoot if youre interested in good organic food. Highly recommend coming to Mj's if youre visiting the area. Also the price was very reasonable!

The idea behind AirBnB, is that we get to share our journey, with folks who have opened up their homes as hosts. This is one of those really cool places. MJ and her husband are wonderful. The house is big and spacious, and the guest room I stayed in, had a nice large and comfortable bed. The room was very clean, and everything was thoughtfully laid out. MJ even had some beverages and cookies laid out for me. And she invited me to a tasty breakfast. It's a quiet area, away from the beaten path, and MJ is a joy to chat with, and she even put a Santa mug in my room. It's the little things that make a difference, and I would stay with them again in heartbeat. The pictures don't do the place justice. This is a GREAT value for the money, and they are truly nice people. - True

This is a beautiful and spacious place. MJ IS A SUPERB HOST. You'll love this B&B.

Mj's house is so comfortable and spacious! She made us feel right at home! Mj prepared a delicious breakfast and was very attentive to anything we needed. I really appreciated all the little touches. I would definitely stay here again if spending the weekend in Stillwater.

"We had a warm and friendly stay with MJ and Jyoti. Their house is lovely, and the room was spacious, clean and comfortable with great attention to detail. MJ made a tasty, gluten-free breakfast for us and we enjoyed visiting with her and sharing stories... We highly recommend MJ's place and look forward to staying there again!"

A very pleasant stay with charming hosts . Very clean and nice soft bed and a beautiful bathroom as well . Would highly recommend staying with MJ hosts that went over and beyond the norm . A nice quiche for breakfast . This was my first air bnb stay

We're so lucky Karin's place was available for this beautiful weekend. We wanted a comfortable spot to launch our St. Croix Valley getaway of hiking, canoeing and poking around towns like Osceola and Stillwater. We got so much more. Her guest quarters feature clean, well-designed new construction with comfy beds and extras like in-room fridge and microwave plus a private patio with picnic table. And Karin is a lovely person to visit with if you're lucky enough to run into her throughout your stay. Not many Airbnb locations can offer such a view. Both days we gazed out at a group of loons fishing on the water and heard numerous birds in the thick trees around the lake. We'll be back to this getaway in the future.

Imagine waking up to the beautiful sun rising over the lake on a quiet, sunny morning. Take in the trees, the water, the birds and the peaceful tranquility. Karins home on the lake was such a beautiful and relaxing stay for the weekend. If you're looking to stay here, be rest assured! Karin is very accommodating and friendly. She loves the company of people and is accepting of all kinds of people. Karin gave us our privacy but was always within reach whenever we needed help. Also, Karin let us use her canoe for free on the lake and it was such a nice little activity. She also has a sunfish sailboat and will be ready with another boat to be used in the near future. What an amazing experience me and my boyfriend had staying here. Highly, highly recommended. You will have a great time.

Loved the view of the lake, and Karin was very welcoming when we arrived!

Imagine reflecting on your porch in front of a lake in the quiet of the morning with coffee cup in hand. This was the perfect spot for my family and i to stay on a recent trip to Wisconsin. The lake is gorgeous and the home welcoming. Probably perfect for two but we did it with three with ease. A Scandinavian feel to the inside with very very comforable bed. Kitchenette is limited but thats not we were looking for. A comfortable home in which to rest and recharge. Heartily recommend.

The location to the lake and the beauty of the surrounding area was a nice surprise. I look forward to returning again in the fall.

My fiancé and I were looking for a place, not too far away, for us to unwind and relax. We came across this Lake Lovers cabin and it met everything we were looking for. We spent less than an hour in the car, and found ourselves on a quiet lake on a warm day. We couldn't have asked for more. The cabin is newly refurbished, very nice and clean, and just a few short steps to the lake. Karin and Alex were great hosts and kept in touch. Upon arrival, we unpacked our lake mat and had a nice, quiet float in the lake. Karin and Alex arrived at the house later in the afternoon and checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We will definitely return and feel like we found a real gem not only the cabin, but the people. Thank you!

TV is about 12". All other things were as posted.

Karin and Alex were fantastic hosts and have a lovely lake house in a perfect location where I could wake to a beautiful sunset and escape on the kayak for hours at a time. They were very attentive and even welcomed me to a birthday party for Karin with the neighbors! Their warmth and friendliness were above and beyond and made for a truly memorable time.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, and a beautiful setting, Suite Louise is for you! Everything needed for a comfortable stay is there; a well stocked kitchen, a comfy bed, fluffy towels and homemade muffins! Thank you Lucy and Pat for allowing us to stay at Suite Louise!

It is a really sweet and cozy place located at a neighborhood that is ideal for some time of peace with your partner and yourself. Greenness, fresh air, trails, and a lake: you have all what nature has to offer that relaxes you. As for our hosts, what impressed me most was that Lucy and Pat really made effort make sure that their guests are provided with what they might want. I greatly appreciate this kind of thoughtfulness: from the snack basket, kitchen supplies, to the little page of history of the place and the family on the desk. You can see the sort of love and care they inherit from, and give to, the family and the place, and they want to extend to their guests. It all delights and warms. Hope to be back again. And take care, Lucy and Pat!

Lucy and Pat are lovely hosts. Their property sits on a beautiful, peaceful lake. Lovely getaway!

Serendipity! Fate would have it that our last minute plans to celebrate our 25th year wedding anniversary would coincide with Lucy opening up her lower-level apartment to AirBNB customers. Selfishly, I'd like to keep this gem a secret and not tell you how fabulous it is! But Lucy is so generous to open up this little piece of paradise. so I must tell you that you must take advantage of it if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet loving place! The apartment was so sweetly cute! Very comfortable. The lake is serene and wonderful. And crystal clear! The only noise you hear are people swimming and laughing during the day and quiet and crickets at night. It was really nice to be on a lake without combustible engines! Didn't know that until this weekend! Lucy (and Pat) are wonderful hosts. Lucy did absolutely everything to make sure we were comfortable. This is truly a labor of love for her and it shows. She even left a bottle of champagne for us to help us celebrate! So Suite! She made coffee cake and cookies and had bananas, a basket of treats and refreshments in the fridge. We enjoyed hiking around the lake. The scenery in this area is just amazing. It's definitely God's country! It's only 15 minutes from Still Water. And we took advantage of that. Enjoyed wood fired pizzas (highly recommend the Truffle Shuffle) at Quick Fire Pizza. We went golfing at St. Croix National Golf Course. What a beautiful course! We left knowing we would be back! There is so much more to enjoy! Lucy says that in the winter the lake can be skated on if the conditions are right, you can see the turtles underneath the ice. Oh, did I mention how crystal clear the water is? Lucy let us do our own thing! She also was enjoying her paradise along side us. She had visitors and they were so fun to get to know. They were so kind. We live in Maple Grove (Northwest of Minneapolis) and it only took us 45 minutes to get there! So if you're from the Twin Cities area, this is a great quick get-a-way! We're looking forward to making this a regular place! We are going to try each season out! She asked us what she can do better or offer for your visit! We couldn't offer her anything as she's got it so nice! Sure hope you enjoy this someday!

Suite Louise was wonderful! Pat and Lucy were warm and welcoming and were great hosts during our stay. Their suite is located on the bottom level of their home (with private entrance). Unit is well cared for, cozy, and comfortable. The property is on a quiet private lake with wonderful wooded hiking trails in county park just a 2 minute walk away. A 15 minute drive to both Stillwater and Hudson! Very quiet and relaxing. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely mid-week girls' getaway with a friend at Suite Louise. The lake setting is quiet and beautiful. The apartment was very clean and neat, and the hosts had supplied everything a guest could need for a comfortable stay. The bran muffins and welcome basket were a really nice complement to food we had brought from home. Lucy made sure that all of our needs were met. We didn't get to enjoy the lake as much as we had hoped (due to weather), but instead had a great shopping day in downtown Hudson, and the peace of the apartment was wonderful to come back to. Would definitely visit again.

We were just looking for an airbnb close to a family wedding. Our criteria was a quiet, peaceful place on a lake. Wow did we choose well! The lake was perfect--not too big or small. The use of the kayaks was what sold us over other places and we made very good use of them in the time we were there. We also enjoyed the swimming, use of a float, and renting a paddle board just a short walk away at the connected county park. Added to our enjoyment was the beauty of the area--the nature and quiet. (There are 2 loons on the lake!) Bailey, the sweet golden retriever fisher"dog", just added to the charm of the whole setting. The bed was comfy and we had everything we needed. Extra thought was given to outlets, mirrors, hooks to hang wet stuff, and also treats that welcomed us. Lucy and Pat were great hosts and treated us like friends. We couldn't have picked a better place to spend our 31st anniversary! (Just beware we did not have cell service while there, but with the wifi we worked around it and used facetime to call our family when needed)

Lucy welcomed us and oriented us to all the carefully placed amenities. Pat was also very attentive and even anticipated some of our wants, let alone needs. Felt like how you wish you would be taken care of by your ideal parents! We felt lucky to find this retreat place so close to our home. The lake is large enough to offer the bald eagles, cormorants, large fish, boat rentals, beach and small enough to feel like your own personal place. Having the state park nearby is great for walks and strolling around the lake. The swimming, kayaking and just gazing at the lake take your worries away!

Heidi was an awesome host and the space was awesome! Such a unique experience sleeping in a completely overhauled school bus, we couldn't stop talking about how cool it was. It was nice getting out of the city for a night and waking up to a rooster. It was a truly impressive space — highly recommended!

This was an awesome adventure without being too far from home. The space was exactly as advertised. We especially enjoyed being able to hang out with the chickens!

We felt a very comfortable welcome by Heidi and her children. Such an inspirational space, so glad they chose to share it with people. I highly recomend it!

a great semi-remote weekend getaway. we enjoyed "glamping" and loved the perch lake park.

A fun get-a-way for my wife and me. There are a few more amenities than we expected. We brought lanterns which really helped inside the bus. The bus was closer to the road & main building than we expected. Heidi was very nice and the chickens were fun.

Great off the grid experience. It feels like camping meets woodsy cabin. The cedar in the bus smells wonderful. Heidi and her daughters are very welcoming. We loved being greeted by the chickens upon our arrival and getting a tour from the girls.

Heidi was such a friendly and generous host! The property is beautifully rustic and magical-feeling. The unique chicken coop was one of our favorite highlights! Be sure to check it out. The bus home is adorable inside, and makes you feel like you are on an adventure. We spent two nights there, and were surprised by how quickly we adjusted to not having modern plumbing and electricity. The property is located in beautiful country-side, yet is also a close drive to into Stillwater, MN, for restaurants and shops. Heidi and her family were so welcoming and helpful--we highly recommend this tiny home away from home!

Heidi thought of everything in preparing our stay in her amazing school bus. The area is stunning, the location ideal, and our gateway weekend couldn't have been more perfect!

I love this place so much! My collaborator and I did an overnight project planning retreat here, and it was so lovely. Huge, beautiful, clean, comfortable space full of art and character. Warm hospitality - Rebecca greeted us upon arrival and gave us the lay of the land, and also had left fresh fruit in the kitchen, bagels, coffee, spare travel toiletries (which came in quite handy when we realized we had forgotten a few essentials), etc. She also put out some lawn chairs, which we used to watch the gorgeous sunset over the countryside. While we didn't take full advantage of all the many amenities, we did enjoy having a huge work table and access to big paper, colored pencils, etc. which were delightful aids to our brainstorming sessions. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Rebecca and family!

I was lucky enough to spend a few nights at Rebecca's and my entire stay was perfect. Not only is the studio a beautiful and unique place to get away to but Rebecca was extremely helpful in giving us suggestions on anything and everything we could do in the area. If given the opportunity I would love to stay again!

This was my second stay at Rebecca's place and it was just as lovely. This time it was warm enough to sit outside and also bike down to the river. This is a very peaceful and rural area. The apartment was spotless and well equipped and organized. We appreciated the fruit and breakfast foods. And we enjoyed dabbling with a little painting. Why not? It's hard not to be inspired. We will be back.

Great place for any art enthusiast! Very unique, so much to look at, music to listen to, art supplies to explore. Kitchen ammentites are limited, but we were still able to cook up a warm tasty meal using the hot plates. A toaster would be nice to have, we didn't see one out or in cupboards. Lamp lighting would have also have been nice instead of just the overhead fluorescents.

This retreat was a perfect getaway for my husband and I to work on drawing, watercoloring, and other art while listening to a vast vinyl music collection and settling in for a cozy night of creativity. The bed was extremely comfortable and I found myself sleeping an extra hour or so. EXTREMELY CLEAN and well-stocked with everything one could need. Snacks, toiletries, cable, fast (URL HIDDEN) addition to an ENORMOUS collection of art reference books. We renewed our energy, creative spirit, and had great uninterrupted conversation. Thank you!

Although it's in a rural setting, our GPS took us right there. My three daughters and I spent two delightful evenings in this beautiful setting, and even tried our hand at doing some artwork, thanks to the supplies which were on hand for us.Rebecca was a gracious hostess and more than willing to answer any questions that we had. The facility was even bigger than the pictures showed and we were thrilled with it! I highly recommend it.

Highly recommended!!

Perfect perfect perfect! What a one of a kind get-a-way place to have offered on Airbnb! Our Host Rebecca went above and beyond with accommodations to make our stay the most enjoyable. From the fruit basket to a cooler filled with juices and the fridge filled with some goodies, it made our first night stay there absolutely fantastic! My husband and I were completely in awe over the artwork displayed throughout the Studio by the talented owner Rollin Alm. It gives you the atmosphere of being in a mini Museum! We had three days of being spoiled by all of the many amenities offered. Bikes and helmets were available along with a BBQ grill and patio setting. We listened to records for the first time in years and had a relaxing time watching movies available by our gracious Host. I was so involved with the different media's offered for creating a masterpiece of my own that I overlooked the Portfolio of Artwork from Rollin Alm sitting on the living-room table. I say this in my review so others will remember to enjoy looking through the book. We are definitely coming back so I will get my chance at that time! The Queen Bedroom is very comfy along with the high thread count sheets and our Host set up two other queen airbeds incase we had other guests. We highly recommend this hidden gem! OUR STAY WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND MEMORABLE IN EVERY-WAY!!! Again... we will be back!

Modern country home

Once again Steve went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Great place to stay. Nice and quiet location and friendly host.

In the morning I had a flat tire and Steve helped put a plug in at 6 in the morning before any shops were open to patch it. Not many other Airbnb hosts are as outgoing and friendly as Steve was. I highly recommend using Steve for Airbnb... what a nice guy!

Nice place to stay. Host was very friendly snd enjoyed his hospitality. Would recommend staying there to others.

Steve was an outstanding host to Grant and I. He communicated well and in a timely manner. He sent me detailed instructions to his place which was very helpful. He gave us a tour of the house, and showed us where we could go and what we could use. He has a beautiful view of the woods out of the living room window. The bedroom was neat and cozy. Steve is very friendly and gave us suggestions of where to go and what to do during our stay. Thanks for making our stay one to remember!

Steve's place was very comfortable and clean. The view was beautiful and I enjoyed that it was close to Stillwater and the cities, but far enough to be secluded and feel like a getaway.

Staying with Steve was a great first experience with airbnb! He was incredibly accommodating. Steve knew I was in town for a wedding, and he called me beforehand to ask if I needed an iron for my clothes and to let me know he would be willing to drive me home if I ended up needing a ride after the reception. Great house and a great host. I would definitely stay with Steve again!

Secluded and quiet location. Convenient drive to Stillwater Minnesota downtown. Possible to rent more than one room. Host was very helpful.

Highly recommend Steve's place! Very flexible on arrival time, and communication was second to none. If you're staying in the area definitely stay here

Steve was very accommodating & was excellent with communication. Very clean home & def recommend!

Wonderful stay thanks to Steve. He was very hospitable and accomodating. I have a job that I am unsure how long my stay will be and Steve was very helpful in changing my reservation length. I recommend this location for anyone wanting to get away from "city" life. However, if you desire to go into a city Hudson Wi is less than 15 min away and is a beautiful place to visit with everything one may need. Thanks Steve!

Scenic home easily drivable to Stillwater, MN. Stayed for just one night. Steve is an amazing host. Very friendly. He went the extra mile to make me feel at home and provide me all the amenities I needed. A very comfortably furnished home up a forest lane from the highway, this is a refreshing getaway from the big city. Very quiet area without light pollution.

Genial host who attends to guests needs. Location is secluded but accessible. Would recommend.

Steve was a great host and we really enjoyed staying at his home out in the country. His directions were accurate and he is very pleasant gentleman. It was very helpful and wanted to make us comfortable. I love that I got an extra towel right up front. Very welcoming home environment.

We were going to the rock festival in Somerset, so this was incredibly handy! Steve was extremely friendly, flexible and helpful. He has a nice big house and it was very quiet and secluded. We were not there much because of the two day event, but he was very friendly and this was a great first Air BnB experience! If you want to get out of the Twin Cities, this is a great choice. For anything in Somerset, it is closer than most hotels!

Greasy directions and communication, a lovely quiet spot that was a perfect respite during a business trip!

Awesome place. Steve's a great guy. I loved the location. Nestle back in the woods and very private. When I'm back in the area I will definitely stay there again.

Another great stay. His passion to host is evident in how hard he works at making things comfortable and easy. My schedule is so crazy I am not sure day to day if I will be pulled from work or if I will stay and through all this Steve has made things much less complicated by working in my schedule. This is a clear sign he enjoys opening his home to those whom are traveling. Great stay and recommend this place to anyone who is looking for ease in booking and a chance to see country life only 15 min from anything you could possibly need. Thanks again Steve!

Great out of the way farmhouse in a very quiet location with an especially great porch to hang out on a warm summer evening. Steve is a great host and had good coffee, juice, and toast in a well supplied kitchen. Beds were clean, comfortable with lots of pillows. Great value!

It was a lovely space surrounded by nature.

Coming in for a last minute stay, Steve could not have been more accommodating. We were able to settle in with ease and enjoy the night at this beautiful property with acres of tree-filled landscape and hike-able areas, with the towns of Hudson/Stillwater just a 5-10min drive away. Steve was wonderful; we had great conversations, and were even offered breakfast in the morning! Needless to say, a great stay with some great people.

Steve was a great host! He always kept lines of communication open and fast. He went above and beyond and even called his home phone to contact me when I was there. Cute great home as well :-)

Great host, great home, quiet and friendly atmosphere

Steve is an amazing host and a good person. He was very communicative and he has a beautiful home. I was travelling to Minnesota, taking my 14 year old to camp and Steve made us feel very welcome. He even made breakfast and chatted with us in the morning. I would highly recommend Steve's place to anyone looking for a place in this area. It is a nice country setting and yet still very close to Minneapolis, if you want to do something in the city. A side note, it is less than 10 minutes from a town called Stillwater, MN that looks like a great little town, right on the river.

Steve was flexible with our arrival, he welcomed us at the late hour of 10pm. He gave a fantastic tour of his beautiful home. The room was cozy and my husband and I slept great! Would stay here again.

He was so nice and made sure me and my friend were comfortable. He took us around to see the area and to get food. Beds were clean and comfortable. Would stay again if I had to! :)

Quiet and comfortable!

We booked to stay at Steve's house on airbnb online via phone the night we were meant to stay with him, before realizing the distance of his house from the airport. Although we did not end up spending the night, Steve was an excellent communicator. He understood that we had made a genuine mistake and graciously refunded our fare. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for your understanding.

Thank you :)

Zach gave great directions and checked in with us just prior to arrival. The cottage is very cute and complete with nice patio and gas grill. The view of the river is beautiful. We made use of the kayaks.

The host canceled this reservation 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

My fiancee and I loved our stay here! Check in felt a bit like we were breaking in to the place; we never checked in with anyone, we just walked right into the cabin and instructions were laid out for us. The key wasn't there, but we got a key from the Dunrovin camp owner and we had a wonderful weekend! The view out the large windows over the river was absolutely gorgeous! We launched our kayak onto the river from the access dock. The bathroom is pretty small, but everything was clean and in good working condition, and there were even pamphlets laid out on the beds with tips for improving our prayer life, which we thought was a fun touch being located at the Christian retreat center. Lots of great restaurants within 15 miles or so, and the unique town of Stillwater nearby was definitely worth a visit! (We went to the diner and candy shop there) We had a great stay and could easily have spent another week or two without running out of things to explore!

This is a wonderful cabin. The view of the St. Croix river is breathtaking and the location is amazing. The staff had everything prepared when we arrived and we didn't have a want. Highly recommended.

The cabin was charming and well equipped, the Dunrovin retreat center is beautiful. My daughter got married down the road at William O'Brian State Park, and it was a godsend to have such a great place so near. We will definitely return here.

it was a nice place to get away and relax. the view of the river from the cabin was great.

We never saw much of anyone. A boy came and shoveled the snow off our porch and someone opened the wood strorage while we were out on a walk. The cabin sits right on the river and has such wonderful windows. The only time you see a building is if you walk out to get in your car or are out walking. It is comfortably rustic and has everything you need. There is everything you need to make a meal except the food. You will enjoy yourself if you are not expecting the Hilton, and we were very comfortable. We prefer rustic. We had a nice fire when we were not exploring Stillwater and Marine on St. Croix. or taking a walk. It is a beautiful place to walk. Even with the chilly weather and some flooding. I recommend it.

Great place for a relaxing weekend!

Peter and Cheryl are great hosts. We drove up to New Richmond for a family wedding. We had an upstairs bedroom with a private bathroom. Hosts were downstairs. Very comfortable bed, clean bathroom in a quiet home. Peter and Cheryl are so welcoming, they make you feel like family! Was surprised by breakfast in the morning, assortment of fruit, english muffins, yogurt, coffee etc. Not only did we have a nice stay but we felt we made new friends! Would highly recommend their air bnb if you are needing to stay in the area!

Peter and Cheryl are lovely hosts and made me feel very welcome and at ease. They have thought of everything regarding comfort and convenience with ample supplies and little necessities should I have forgotten to pack toiletries. We had a nice chat over breakfast and they went out of their way to relate directions, descriptions of the area and even put me in contact with a neighbor relator. I would definitely stay with them again when visiting the area.

Peter and Cheryl were wonderful, friendly hosts. They did everything they could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, including cold drinks in our bedroom when we arrived. Their house is conveniently located right near a bike path, within walking distance of downtown and several parks. We spent the evening relaxing in their backyard gazebo, free from mosquitos yet able to enjoy the fresh air. They provided a full breakfast, and went out of their way to accommodate our dietary needs. We would not hesitate to stay with them again when visiting New Richmond.

Listing was precise and worth the trip from Chicago! Definitely recommend Peter! We are hoping to go back there next year for sure!

Great couple great place to stay

Peter and his partner Cheryl were so welcoming and gracious! Would totally stay here again and recommend these hosts! Super kind and very thoughtful. Paid some much attention to details. It was a humid, summer day and they had ice water waiting for us! We didn't get a chance to swim in the pool but their backyard is so relaxing and peaceful. Loved the outside seating and landscaping. In the morning, they had quite the spread waiting for us for breakfast! We enjoyed talking to them over coffee and they even gave us a recommendation for a nearby state park. Extremely friendly and helpful hosts! The living space was very comfortable and exactly as described. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

I loved my entire experience on Perch Lake. Our Hosts were wonderful and very welcoming. I had a peaceful and beautiful weekend and it could not have been more wonderful.

Sharon was a wonderful host, muffins and coffee awaited us for our first morning. Sharon's home is cozy and inviting the perfect place for a retreat from day to day life. The view of the lake and surrounding area is amazing. I would highly recommend this place and would/will stay there again when in the area. Wonderful!

Highly recommended! This location was absolutely amazing, charming, and perfect for a weekend stay. The house is just like the pictures - very comfortable with easy access to the lake. Sharona is an incredible host - very friendly and welcoming! She met us at arrival and gave us a full tour of the house, plus recommendations for local running trails and brunch spots. Plus, she left us some tasty scones for breakfast! We can't wait to schedule another weekend getaway!

This listing is highly recommended. Sharona is an excellent hostess, and the place on perch lake really exceeded our expectations.

Home was very nice, well maintained and comfortable. The area is secluded and exactly what we were looking for.

Everything was as advertised. Sharona was very nice and made us feel at home. The place is beautiful.

We loved our weekend at Sharona's! We came here last year and couldn't think of a place we preferred! It was so quiet and peaceful! We took a canoe ride in Perch lake and a beautiful hike in Willow River State Park. Sharona left a bowl of freshly picked raspberries from her garden every morning - yum! As someone with chemical sensitivities, I loved the scent free natural products and that the linens were scent free! Thanks for a lovely anniversary/birthday weekend!

Listing description is right on target - it was a beautiful setting to get away and hide from the world for a couple of days. Each window looks out on a beautiful scene, and whether it's views of the sunrise in the kitchen or the critters and birds out above the lake, it was beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Sharon was very welcoming, met us when we arrived and gave us a tour - she even delivered cream to the front door the following morning and answered all questions we had about the area. Trails and opportunity for beautiful walks were accessible straight out the back (or front) door, and it was a delightful, restorative place to spend a few days.
