The owner is super friendly and very prompt in responding. The home is beautiful, cozy and clean. Beds were comfortable and there was AC in both bedrooms. The grounds are well manicured and peaceful. Off street parking and a nice little coffee bar. Highly recommend and we would definitely love to come back! Very convenient to downtown as well.

Great clean home a short walk from downtown

Absolutely loved our stay! Had a girls night with a pretty large group and we were more than comfortable here. The kitchen is super well set up for cooking, and downtown is a very easy short walk away. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely stay

This was a great place to stay in Stillwater. It was a comfortable, cute home with plenty of space to hang out for my husband and daughter and I. We enjoyed the outdoor space quite a bit, and we slept well on the comfy beds. We really loved the location, as it was a doable but slightly challenging walk to downtown - that was perfect for us!

Great place to stay

We had a group of 6 'older' women. We cooked dinner and breakfast. Plenty of room to move around and to sit and talk. Beds were very comfy. The owner put in extra effort to see that we were comfortable (snacks, etc).

Great things all around

We had a great time at Stephanie's place! It's a very cool old house in a neat neighborhood. She was very easy to work with and left more amenities than we would have expected. It was great to have different rooms to use in the house, and I wish we had more time to enjoy the fire pit in the backyard. Definitely would recommend.

Beautiful home

We had a great weekend in this beautiful home. Very thoughtfully decorated and cared for. The host was quick to reply and very kind. Though there are only two bedrooms, there are two living rooms that allowed for everyone to spread out to sleep. We spent a lot of time outside in the backyard, and would definitely return! Thank you!
