St. Croix River Home in the Heart of Taylors Falls

A great escape awaits you in beautiful, historic Taylors Falls. Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street and is in one of the most scenic areas of Minnesota. Operating since 2013 and lovingly cared for by Cathie & Dave, Rivertime changed hands in the spring of 2021 and new owners Danette & Bill are eager to welcome you!

This historic river home was originally built as a single story 2 room homestead by settlers in 1880. With multiple additions this beautiful 5 level home now sleeps up to 10 people comfortably.

The Interior was completely updated with special attention paid to every detail. Our home has a large main level combined living /dining room area and a lower level family room great for relaxing and watching TV. It features five bedrooms, three of the bedrooms have queen beds the two other bedrooms each have two twin beds. The kitchen is fully equipped and has all new stainless appliances. A laundry room is available with a new washer and dryer. You will love the large 14'x 20' screen porch and relaxing on the deck as you take in the beautiful St. Croix River.

Surrounded by a challenging variety of outdoor recreational options, the small village on the St. Croix River can keep you active and interested with its small-town charm and natural beauty. MN and WI Interstate Park are within walking distance where you can enjoy miles of hiking trails, walk through glacial gardens, canoe, kayak or rock climb. You can even enjoy the scenic beauty by taking a River Boat Tour and watch eagles soar over the river.

Other recreational opportunities in the area include Gandy Dancer Trail for biking, hiking, and running, Taylors Falls Canoe & Kayak, Festival Theatre, St. Croix Valley Golf Course, Wild Mountain Water Park, Alpine Slides, Go-Karts, and Ski Area, Trollhaugen Ski Area, Adventure Mini Golf and Drive-In, St. Croix Falls Mini Golf and Go-Karts, Fawn-Doe-Rosa Wildlife Educational Park. Franconia Sculpture Park, and many great places to eat including the ubiquitous Drive-In (best burgers around).

Four local wineries are located within minutes from our property: Wild Mountain Winery, Dancing Dragonfly Winery, Chateau St. Croix Winery, and Winehaven WInery.

Taylors Falls was named by World Atlas as one of the top ten most beautiful small towns in Minnesota: https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/10-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-minnesota.html (the list is alphabetical -- we're biased and believe we are in the top two!).

For Hazelden Betty Ford visitors, we are only a 15-minute drive away from the campus located in Center City, MN.

We came to the area for a wedding and the house was perfect for our stay. We loved the screen porch and the location. It is right in town so we walked to restaurants and mini-golf. But it’s also set off the main street so it’s quiet. Owner/property manager was easy to work with and very accommodating and welcoming!

The property was exactly as expected! Plenty of space for our group of 6 adults and 2 small children. The house was easy to access and very clean! We loved the screened in porch and large dining area. Within walking distance of restaurants and hiking trails. We also enjoyed using the stairs to get down to the river! Definitely a great place to stay!

This was our fourth stay at this property. The property is always well maintained and in great condition. We love the location, which is in a quite neighborhood. We certainly hope to return again next year for another stay.

This is the fourth time that my friends and I have held our annual get-together at this lovely home away from home. In addition to its perks, such as a spacious porch, supplied kitchen, loads of games, and soft towels, the location by the St. Croix River is close to the interstate park, a coffee shop, and cute stores. Communication with the host was friendly and informative. We will be coming back.

Lots of space to spread out. The screen porch definitely was a great plus. We loved the coffee shop just steps away from the backyard

We had a great weekend at this property which included ages 7 to 79. It was very modern, clean, and comfortable. We LOVED the screened in porch. Everything in town is within walking distance, but the house still feels private.

We enjoyed our stay, we usually do where ever we go. We have learned from previous stays - we always bring extra TP, houses never have enough.

In town to hike the last few segments of the Ice Age Trail. Perfect location. Walking distance to food, river, Interstate Park, ice cream, and mini golf. Comfortable house. Spent lots of time in the enclosed porch and playing cards at the dining room table. Great communication. Had a great time.

We rented the house for 2 nights for our annual ‘mom’s weekend’ away. It was perfect! We each had our own comfortable room, and could walk to dinner and shops. It was rainy all weekend, but there was a closet stocked with games, and lots of cozy places to read or nap. Would definitely recommend this rental for anyone looking for a low-key getaway. Very clean and stocked with all the necessities. Thanks for a great stay!

This was the second time my friends and I gathered at this lovely home. We had a wonderful time visiting the local breweries, walking in the neighborhood, visiting the local shops, hiking along the St. Croix River, and just sitting on the screened porch playing music and games. The house is very clean and welcoming. We have decided to return again next year.

Loved loved loved this rental! So roomy and comfortable. The pictures did not do it justice. Basically lived on the large screen porch and I’ve never seen a better stocked kitchen. The six of us had more than enough room and a wonderful time. The coffee shop just up the stairs was great and the Tangled Up in Blue restaurant was a real find! We would definitely come back.

The rental and check-in was seamless and very easy. The rental manager was available immediately via text for questions and concerns. Rivertime is in a perfect location for walking anywhere within Taylors Falls and the coffee shop across the street was excellent for picking up sweet treats for the morning. The fishing in the St Croix adjacent to the house was excellent!! We hit most of the area sites during our 3-day visit. Would definitely rent again and explore more of the surrounding area.

We would love to come back and stay again during a warmer month when the trees are leafed out and we can enjoy a river boat cruise. Those were not open yet! We did enjoy our walks and visited two winery's. We also did some shopping in town of course, and saw the Jersey Boys in Minneapolis on Saturday. Wonderful girls weekend with my mom, sisters, daughter and nieces!
