The Artist's Loft in scenic St Croix Falls, WI

Truly unique & luxurious 1 bedroom apartment
The Artist's Loft is a private 1 bedroom apartment with queen size bed, twin daybed and twin blow up bed in the living room to sleep up to 4 guests. Beautiful, unique, spacious, and is located at the gateway to the outdoor adventures of the St Croix Valley!

Located on the top floor of a truly one-of-a-kind historic building on main street, it will take all day to see the fine details of this artistic loft!

Full kitchen and mosaic-tiled bath with shower/claw-foot tub combo. Luxurious four-poster bed, 800 thread count linens and great views/light with lots of windows.

Newly designed reading nook with daybed for a cozy night in.

Enjoy the private, quiet stone patio and gardens around the back of the building as well!

The Neighborhood
In western Wisconsin, St. Croix Falls has become a destination for people who want to go places.

It's the western terminus of the 1,000-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail, which traces the last glacier as it began to melt and retreat northward, leaving a marvelously lumpy patchwork of rock, rubble and river gorges.

It's the southern trailhead of the 48-mile Gandy Dancer State Trail, a scenic crushed-limestone bicycle trail named for the rail workers who rhythmically swung pickaxes and hammers made by the Gandy Tool Co.

And it's the headquarters of the 252-mile St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, with a new visitors center that helps paddlers plan trips from the Namekagon to the St. Croix's confluence with the Mississippi.

There are another 12 trails in Interstate State Park, which became Wisconsin's first state park in 1900 and is the start of the Ice Age Trail.

We are a dog friendly property. An additional $35 per pet ( 2 max) requested after booking

Short but sweet stay!
What a beautiful apartment - perfectly equipped for a quick getaway! I appreciated that the space was so clean, gorgeously adorned, and super comfy. The treats from a nearby bakery and lovely fresh flowers made me feel instantly welcomed and pampered. Thank you for being such a thoughtful and gracious host, Rhonda. I highly recommend the Artist's Loft!!

Comfortable and unique
This is a beautiful and unique property - clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Our host really went the extra mile - there were coffee, tea, hot chocolate all waiting for us to make if we liked, every type of item that we'd need, comfy pillows and blankets galore, a cozy and easy to operate gas fireplace (it was cold and snowing during our stay), a streaming enabled tv, and best of all , a cozy library nook and a drawing table with supplies. We made several meals and didn't miss a single kitchen item. It's close to the gorgeous St. Croix River and the lovely state parks alongside. All in all - there was the comfort of home, but the feeling of being away, in such a interestingly decorated, full of atmosphere space. Highly recommend - I hope that we can return some day soon.

We Keep Coming Back!
This is the third year we've celebrated our winter wedding anniversary with a long weekend at this wonderfully appointed apartment. We now start to get that itch in January — and February just wouldn't feel right if we stayed home. We love the cozy place itself, the beautiful nature all around, little towns nearby, Franconia Sculpture Park, discovering new places to eat (when we're not cooking in the nicely equipped kitchen), etc. etc. We know we can call upon the friendly host for anything, but have never needed to. We'll be back next year, if it doesn't get booked up!

The loft is exquisitely decorated. The Host did an excellent job of making us feel welcomed. From leaving Pecan Caramel rolls to having other treats for us. If you are anywhere near here and want a Romantic Getaway - this is the place to go! The Loft was super clean and had all the amenities. Many things to do in the area. Highly recommended!

Rhonda, was a perfect host. When I entered the room she had jazz music playing. The pictures don't do it justice. The space was so clean and inviting. The couch and the bed were so cozy I didn't want to leave the room. This was the perfect place for a little retreat to think and create.

Both cozy nooks and a spacious great room
Our teen loved the book nook bed, and we slept well in the bedroom. The mosaics create a lovely scene for a long hot bath in the clawfoot tub. Drawing the curtains reduces street-level noise. Baked cookies and drank tea on a winter's eve while finding something new to look at in the artist's loft. We found the Taylor Falls overlook and the Ice Age Trail just a few miles away.

Absolutely perfect!
From arrival until departure the entire stay was absolutely perfect, the apartment is amazingly, cozy, and spacious. There is every amenity you could ask for, including great WiFi, board games, and even a telescope to do some star gazing! The location is perfect! Right in the middle of the action, but also has some great outdoor spaces that give you that feeling of seclusion. Rhonda has done a fantastic job at creating the perfect rental. I have stayed in short term rentals from California to Florida and this is by far the most accommodating and complete stay I have had. My family and I are already looking forward to a longer stay at this hidden gem! If you get the opportunity to stay here you definitely need to make it a priority, I would even go as far to schedule an extra day just to throughly enjoy the apartment! Thank you again Rhonda!

Our 5-nights here made us feel lucky every day. Rhonda has furnished the apartment to be comfortable with bonus features like a wall of books, a writing desk, and a completely outfitted kitchen. Downstairs, the outdoor sitting areas are designed for either quiet relaxation or socializing next to an oversized chess set. Colorful umbrellas add a welcoming touch. Overall, it was a pleasure to stay here.

Peaceful Quiet Sanctuary in the back yard!
This property was well beyond our expectations! Two sisters stepping out to hike the amazing trails in the area and spend time together in attempts to reconnect. Rhonda’s property was exceptionally clean, welcoming and Unique with artistic flair. Variety of coffees. Beautiful toiletries stocked. Rhonda is a wonderful cheerful host with an eye for creating beauty. The outdoor seating areas create a peaceful serene sanctuary. Great for conversation or reading. Next door is an amazing Vegan Indian restaurant. We strongly recommend Rhonda’s artistic getaway. Great for a couple or a smaller group. And by the way we definitely reconnected in a beautiful way thanks to the pleasant time spent together. Seriously we will return again.

Just what we needed!
My spouse and I needed a space for resting, feasting and cross-country skiing...and The Artist's Loft was it! Plenty of nooks to spread out and nap/read. A GREAT kitchen with everything we needed to prep and cook for holiday eating. Plus, we were just minutes away from a state park for snow shoeing and skiing. It was a great location for our dog, too. There is some street noise, being downtown St. Croix, but it wasn't too bad. Rhonda thought of everything...she even put up a Christmas tree for us! Highly recommend.
