Beautiful Retreat

There is so much to love about this home! My sister and I were visiting my Aunt and decided to rent Diane's home for a few days. She was great to work with. The home is on the Saint Croix River. The sandy beach is just across the road. The views from the kitchen and living area are amazing. My sister spent all the time on the porch watching the boats and enjoying the beauty. The pictures, piano, and furnishings show this home is loved and the owner cares. Hudson and Afton are close by for a meal and shopping.Thank you for letting us enjoy you home!

Second Stay - Great Location

My husband and I enjoyed this lovely cottage. It's a great place to relax with nice amenities and a beautiful view. We enjoyed long walks, sitting at the big kitchen table writing and working on art projects. The location is perfect - easy access from 94, close to the cities, but it felt "up North." We really wish we could spend more time there! Diane is a friendly and very responsive host.

A lovely, inviting weekend!

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here, the space was immediately comfortable and inviting. The fishbowl windows gave the space great lighting, but also amazing views of the St Croix. It was fun to watch the riverboats all twinkly at night as they cruised the river. We made great use of the kitchen and cooked in all weekend. The bed in the master bedroom was like sleeping in a fluffy pillow and felt like a special treat. If your looking for a bit of a cabin-type feel atmosphere, with modern charm and comfort, put this lovely on your list.

Enjoy Gathering Opportunities

The location of this cottage could not be better. Convenient for extended family and old friends to stop by for visits. Plenty of room for entertaining, and kitchen was well equipped. Yes, there are some quirky things, but they absolutely did not interfere with our having lots of fun. We would definitely rent this cottage again. We really liked working with Diane Jorde, the owner.

Exceptional Cottage!!

This will be my third time staying in this beautiful cottage. My first was with a girls getaway, the second with my now husband, and in July, we will have my sisters Bachelorette weekend there. It's such a lovely spot! It's tucked away in the end of the road and you feel like you're in your own little world. The place is always clean, warm and inviting. Diane [the owner] is also so wonderful and professional to work with. She allows you to use whatever in the house and even put out coffee for us. We can't wait to go back!! Highly recommend!

Loved the place

We went here for a close to home get away. The location was perfect - morning walks along the river, a short drive to Afton or Hudson. The living spaces were huge and the master bedroom was comfortable. The views were great. This place is right across the street from the river. The mattress in the second bedroom was not the best but since we only needed the one bedroom we were fine. The house was decorated well and the owner was friendly. I would recommend this place.

Wonderful Stay

My family of 4 (Mom, Dad, 2 kids under 10) enjoyed our 5 nights at this home. My kids swam in the river every day, we enjoyed a beautiful view every morning with our coffee and slept well in our home away from home. Everything was provided from beach towels to a coffee pot. I could do laundry and fold it while watching the cable TV. Great experience. Hope to come again soon and will recommend to friends. PS--if you come for the 4th of July you can see a ton of fireworks right from the porch! Loved that!

had a great time

We stayed for three nights midweek. The photos do not do the property justice...the house is right across from the water and at the steps of a beautiful beach. There is a great big lawn to play on and the neighborhood is great for an evening stroll. We had a great time overall. There were only a few things that we would have changed about the house (isn't that true with any property) but overall it was a good relaxing vacation. (and really close to st paul where we live)
