Cozy riverside retreat close to downtown, family fun, and 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 makes it easy to get around and explore the many things this river town has to offer. Fall colors are magnificent now - especially along the river!
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 and currently the garage.
Other things to note
The outdoor space is finished now and includes a large firepit area on the side of the house, just in time for cozy fall 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, and toys). The fireplace does get hot so please watch your children. There is a protective screen provided to place around it.

Fall getaway
Our family enjoyed our recent stay. The house is cozy and inviting with lots of little touches like fall pillows. There was sleeping masks and machines in bedrooms along with luggage racks. Host had coffee and snacks waiting for us. Communication with host was clear, timely, and efficient.

Peaceful River Retreat
We had an incredible stay! This house is the essence of Hygge. All the finishings were beautiful and comfortable. We loved relaxing and chatting on the front porch. We were able to walk to local shops and attractions. Wish we had more time!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Family met for a funeral. Comfortable beds. Kitchen well supplied. Very clean. Had to go through a bedroom to get to the upstairs shower but we made it work. Was listed as riverview but could not see the river due to trees. Enjoyed our stay here

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!
