About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

BestLocation|Romantic|ViewBridgeFromBed|Couples|Pets|Photo backdrop|Nightlife!!!

Right in the heart of downtown Stillwater, MN, along the St. Croix River valley, with the absolute best view and location in the area, the "Mini Me" of the Liftbridge Loft, is sharing the same roof deck entry to it's sister, "the big loft", right next door! Perfect if you need both to accommodate more guests, highly recommended! (The only area you are allowed to use on the roof is the pathway between the stairs and the door.) Walking distance to over 100 shops, over 30 amazing places to eat (some are award winning!), bike trails, bike and kayak rentals, footpaths, trails, hidden gems, and so much more, the list is endless!!! No parties or events are allowed anywhere on the property, per our city ordinance.
(License number STHR 2018-07)
There's also no smoking of any kind allowed. The building, built in 1888, has gorgeous stone and brick walls, originally a warehouse, hard wood floors, renovated to 3 lofts in the late 80's early 90's, tons of character, perfect for vacation stays! We have the honor to be the place holders of this historic piece of architecture, we hope you enjoy it and respect it, as we do!

Great!

Great location to all the shops, restaurants and night life! Bedroom was next to outdoor Bar patio, bring a sound machine and you’ll be fine. This loft was perfect for a couple enjoying hoping around town in the fall.

Great spot in the heart of Stillwater

This loft space was nice, clean, funky and great views of the St Croix. My daughter and I stayed and had a lovely time. Unfortunately due to some health issues that came up, we could only stay one of the two nights we had booked. We look forward to returning for a longer stay in the future.

Great location, competitive with hotel rates

Great location right downtown near the bridge providing great views. Rooftop location a little misleading but a great view to stand out and look. Check the addresses closely as the one listed is different from actual as N & S are backwards. Good space, beautiful brick walls, but could upgrade couch & TV service. Would stay again!

Perfect location and space!

We loved the loft! Easy walking to all the great restaurants and trails along the river. The size was perfect for the two of us. Even though it's downtown in the heart of all the entertainment, the loft was quiet and stress-free. Parking was harder on the weekend, but it was totally manageable. We will definitely stay here again!

Mini-Getaway

Great location for exploring Stillwater. Nice and convenient with being in the heart of the downtown area! The only downside for us was parking. The stay comes with parking but we ran into the area being setup for Lumberjack Days. The parking area was being closed and there was no forewarning about it. Recommend the coffee shop below the loft! The owners (Matt and Adam) make great coffee and scones!

Great Experience

The location was across from the lift bridge so everything that Stillwater had to offer was very close. The "Mini-Me" was very nice and quiet during the stay. Restaurants were right outside the entrance to the apartment and this was very beneficial since parking was at a premium if you were not staying in town. Overall it was a great experience and enjoyed the town including LoLo and Wild Hare restaurants.

Not worst, not the best

The roof leaked. Bathroom looked clean, but tub/shower we decide not to use. Kitchen cabinet doors were sticky. The walk way was slippery, and needed handrails.

Very disappointing

We decided to splurge on this VRBO for our wedding night and sadly, we regret doing so. We received communication from the host an hour after check-in stating that there were a "few small leaks" happening behind the front door. However, these were not small leaks. There were 3 pots/ pans overflowing. In addition, the roof was leaking in the bedroom that ended up staining the rental suit, which we were then charged for. Though the location is great, I cannot that recommend anyone stay here.

Beautiful loft/amazing view, walkable to everything!

I took my two teenage daughters to Stillwater for the weekend to celebrate my oldest daughter’s Sweet 16! We had such a great time! We absolutely loved the rich history if this loft! The views of the lift bridge was amazing! We kept imagining what it would be like to live there. We felt very much at home! The loft is very clean and well kept! We enjoyed the ease of getting around town, and we never had to get in our car to drive anywhere the whole weekend! The ice rink was near by, and after we walked to see all the snow sculptures….just amazing! Shopping and food all great! Stillwater has never been a disappointment to me, there is ALWAYS something going on year round ! I highly recommend the lift bridge loft! The hosts were very patient with me when I had a hard time finding the loft at first, I quickly realized I read the address wrong. I will for sure stay in one of their three lofts again! 💯 %! Thank you so much for sharing your Mini Lift-bridge Loft!!❤️

Stillwater get away

We enjoyed the mini loft. It was clean, tasteful and a convenient location. We got used to the pigeon who lives under the door step and a couple screams of surprise. The refrigerator barely works and the fold out couch is broken and unusable. Weekend evenings are extremely loud and difficult to sleep without earplugs.

Mixed charm

The loft is situated in downtown Stillwater, which is both charming and convenient for experiencing the town, but can be kind of loud at night. Bring a white noise machine for sleeping. A non-dripping ceiling and functioning refrigerator would have been nice and were not charming.

Quaint place, comfortable

We had a great stay, nice location, and comfortable all around. The property manager was very responsive. The only tiny complaint is that the walls are pretty thin, seemed like our neighbors were either shouting or talking loudly. Other than that, it was a good stay, and the people in Stillwater are very friendly and we had several great meals and drinks there. I'd stay there again for sure!
