About this property

Riverside Historic Home near Downtown, Wineries, Hiking

Welcome to this thoughtfully remodeled pre-civil war home that sits right on the St. Croix River. While this adorable home is the perfect private getaway for you and your family, it's proximity to downtown Taylors Falls and nearby hiking and skiing makes it easy to get around and explore the many things this river town has to offer. **A new outdoor 2-person barrel sauna is here to help you warm up during these cool spring evenings!**

The space
This home was designed to bring peace and relaxation to your vacation, while also offering nearby adventure. It is on a quiet street right on the St. Croix River, yet only a few minutes’ walk to downtown Taylors Falls, offering cafés, mini golf, and shopping. Continue your walk to the boat tours and hiking trails of Interstate State Park with breathtaking views of the river and bluffs. A short drive gets you to a variety of wineries, wedding venues, golfing, shopping, restaurants, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and Wild Mountain with numerous year-round activities.

While in the home, relax in this peaceful escape right on the river. Enjoy bird watching on the front porch while sipping your morning coffee. Take a nap on the porch daybed while listening to the river flow by, or have a drink with your friends on the porch swings. Play games or listen to records while you visit with loved ones in front of the fire, or cook up a gourmet meal with the well-stocked kitchen for bakers and chefs alike. End the day with an amazing night’s sleep in one of four bedrooms, each offering comfy memory foam beds. An extra space to sleep on the sofa bed is also available for extra guests, as well as a twin daybed on the porch during the warmer months. Reliable and fast Wi-Fi is available for those who need it for entertainment or work, as well as a smart TV with all of the major streaming services. A large yard has plenty of space for bonfires, a game of bags, or even volleyball!
Guest access
Keypad entry. Space for at least four vehicles in the driveway. Guests have full access to the home, except the utility room in the basement. Guests may park in the garage.
Other things to note
The outdoor space includes a large firepit area on the side of the house, perfect for bonfires and s'mores! A privacy wall allows for a private and cozy atmosphere.

Family-friendly with baby and kid gear (safety gates, pack ‘n play, high chair, baby bath and toys). The fireplace does get hot so please watch your children. There is a protective screen provided to place around it. The main level bedroom and bathroom with shower bench and grab bars are a perfect addition for those needing a safer space.

Andrea was great. Very welcoming and accommodating. We had a couple questions and she answered us fast and friendly. I'd stay at her place again for sure and would recommend it to friends and family with enthusiasm. Perfect for a romantic get away or a group gathering.

The best stay

We had the best stay at Andrea’s home. All of the girls loved how well decorated and comfortable the home was. The beds/bedding were very comfortable, excellent quality. The porch was so lovely. We enjoyed how close we were to the downtown area and how easy it was to walk places. One of the best stays I have had! Highly recommend!!

Great family house!

The house was clean, spacious and so comfortable! Our guests ranged in age from 11 months to 80 yrs and the house had everything we needed. Great location on a quiet street, but an easy walk to downtown and Interstate Park.

Exceeded expectations

We needed space for our extended family attending a wedding. The outside of the property looked pretty basic but the inside was very nice and just right for our large group. Owners were quite responsive to our question about the sauna too. Good choice to rent.

Relaxing

We spent most our time on the front porch. Located on a quiet road across street from the river. Close to some great hiking opportunities. Everything was clean and well organized. The owner was easily accessible and we could tell she put extra thought into making a welcoming environment.

Great property for our family

We loved the house and location. Wonderful little touches and fun history. The cozy screened patio with the floating egg chairs were a hit. The binder was very helpful, especially when we needed to find an urgent care location. The homeowner even had a beautiful welcome basket waiting for us!

Perfect!

The house has been beautifully redone, with lots of extra touches you don't normally find in a VRBO; from the coffee bar, to full-size shampoos, soaps, lotions, welcoming gifts, etc. The kitchen really is fully stocked and the house is very comfortable, especially the porch! Highly recommend!

The family of the groom

We absolutely loved the property. It was perfect for our trip to the area for our son’s wedding. Grandparents stayed on the first floor with their own bathroom. Great perk!!! When planning for a multi-generational stay. The house and location was just beautiful. We loved the variety of comfortable spaces. Peaceful and found everything and anything we needed. Andrea thought of everything.

Beautiful, cozy, getaway!

Our extended family needed a large home to celebrate together and Andrea’s beautiful home was absolutely perfect! Her communication before and during our stay was wonderful. We arrived to a welcome gift and personalized note. The rooms had all the little things to make our weekend easy and comfortable for all three generations staying there. Loved all the spaces—cozy living room with space on the floor for kids to play, large dining table to eat and play games, full kitchen, and relaxing porch swings. We embraced all that Taylor’s Falls had to offer— coffee, cute shops, rock climbing, hiking the Glacier potholes, mini-golf, Drive-In— all within walking distance. We’ll definitely look to return again and I would stay in any of Andrea’s properties in a heartbeat.

A Miraculous Haven

After months of caregiving to my elderly aunt, our family found refuge at Andrea’s for the nearby burial. We are a fussy family about cleanliness, comfort, and style. This home personifies hygge as we felt protected and were able to let our guards down. We spent most of our time in the home vice out and about as it was a destination in and of itself. We kept saying how much we liked Andrea and her gift of creating such an oasis. It was clean with just normal kitchen cupboard signs of cooking. The completely cleaned out fridge and freezer was shockingly nice. Bathrooms were wonderful to be in. The two main bathrooms were a bit tight, but the master bath with its slate, cave-like shower was just divine. The beds were cozy with very comfortable mattresses. Every nook and cranny was hygge delight. Our whole family looks forward to another stay in coming years. Oh, and glacial potholes and the Drive-In are not-to-be-missed visits. Andrea, many thanks for such a lovely home.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea

Host profile image
I grew up in the river town of Stillwater and now live in Woodbury. I am a nutritional therapist and enjoy helping people heal using holistic nutrition principles. I've traveled the world and have taken notes on what I like when I stay at hotels and short term rentals, so have strived to make this special place your home away from home! I have also embraced the Danish value of Hygge, which places importance on family, friends, cozy atmospheres, and the simpler things in life.

Why they chose this property

I grew up near the water and loved this little river town of Taylors Falls. In many ways it hasn't changed much over the years, so has a vintage charm to it. Taylors Falls also is so close to hiking, and many outdoor adventures year round.

What makes this property unique

This house was built in 1856! That is before Minnesota became an official state, and before the Civil War. It has character and charm, from the old fashioned "door bell" to the exposed brick fireplace. We also discovered many artifacts that date back to the 1800's when we did an archeological dig in the backyard a few years ago. Many of these items are on display in the home.
