We enjoyed the stay and beautiful grounds, however, we weren't expecting so much traffic and noise when at the firepit. Overall it was a wonderful weekend with friends!

We used the cottage for our high school girlfriends weekend. It was very comfortable, clean and truly felt like home. We enjoyed sitting by the fire table to relax and share stories. Host and hostess were fantastic. Thank you for offering such a great place to stay.

Wedding stay out of town family
Rick and Missy have a super home! Great location, just a short walk to Stillwater on a nice bike / walking path and overlooking a marina. Home was clean, nicely updated, there's two patios, one with a firepit and overlooking the St. Croix bay / marina. Nice place!

Wedding Weekend
The beautiful Schulenberg property was the perfect base for our family wedding weekend. The location was very convenient with easy access to downtown Stillwater by way of the riverside trail. The home has been gorgeously updated with great attention to detail, keeping the character of intact. Can't wait to stay there again!

Very clean and updated - all amenities provided. Kitchen was especially well equipped for cooking and host left lots of yummies for us to enjoy! Only negative is distance from downtown - however as long you do not mind a nice walk or short drive to town it is a great house. We had 6 adults and it was plenty of room. Would definitely recomend this host!

This is an amazing vacation home. The porch was a beautiful spot to start and end busy Stillwater days. The kitchen is very well stocked with appliance, dishes, etc. We appreciated having this property available. We had our family over for one evening and we all fit around the kitchen table. That was fantastic!!

Storybook cottage in Stilllwater!
Great getaway spot for a family or even a romantic getaway. Fantastic host that greeted us with a beautiful fruit and cheese platter waiting for us after a long flight in from Seattle. Everything you need is at the house with a fabulous outdoor area that includes a fire pit, gas table, pond with fish/frogs and a gas grill. We ate all of our meals at the house! Just like being home!

We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!

We highly recommend this property!
This gorgeous home was perfect for 6 girlfriends gathering to celebrate well over 50 years of friendship. Missie met us at the house and gave us an in-depth tour of the entire home and made it so easy to immediately feel at home in her home.
We spent much of our time enjoying the large backyard with a view of the river and marina, two fire pits each with seating areas and a fish pond with a water fall. We chose to have meals in at night so to continue to enjoy this welcoming environment. The large kitchen table served perfectly for dining as well as card games late into the evening. The kitchen is so well appointed; we found cooking here a pleasure. The screened in sitting porch overlooking the backyard was great for coffee in the morning and we found fantastic walking trails just minutes away. The 2 bathrooms each had wonderful showers and were very clean as was the entire house.
We all agreed that this house and location exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend this property for a lovely stay in Stillwater.
