This was a perfect location for our stay near our daughter’s farm for the holiday. The host was very responsive. Being close to the General Store rescued us several times. We would consider coming back.

Perfect location, just what I needed
I really enjoyed my time here. Except for a little lock combo snafu at the outset, it was everything I could have hoped for. The little town is cute, I was there for a class at the Folk School and was so close I could walk. Everything was comfortable. Directions were great. The hosts were very accessible and helpful. Enjoyed exploring the area. Will definitely return!

Great Experience
I came here for a quick personal getaway and it was exactly what I was looking for- charming, unique, comfortable, clean and the perfect location. It is a great spot because not a lot of preparation is necessary to stay here. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable, and there is a general store a block away with everything you'd need; also a coffee shop and other restaurants. I also went for a hike at William O'brien State park just a few minutes away. The house is super unique and the location doesn't get much better- small town feel in the beautiful historic river valley. Highly recommend.

Cute town
The furniture in place was very uncomfortable. It needs updating, more care, and repairs. Our door was hard to open and there were several trip hazards on the property. If you are just staying a night or two, it's probably tolerable. It did teach me to do more research before signing. We would have left after the first week.

Great location, spacious, excellent communication with kind hosts!
We were relatively comfortable in our VRBO apartment in Marine on St. Croix. It is a spacious apartment, the kitchen is adequately appointed and it had a good shower with nice towels. This could be a TERRIFIC place but the entry hall needs attention — fresh paint, improved lighting, new carpet and some kind of fumigation to get rid of the musty smell. The BBQ area was completely neglected— the area was overgrown with weeds, the grill was rusty and full of insects. The lighting in the apartment could use some improvement— new brighter lighting fixtures and new window coverings would be welcome. But our primary issue was the bedroom—- it desperately needs new carpeting, new window coverings, and a new mattress. Every time one moves in the bed, it squeaks and creeks. The bed linens could use an update too. That being said, it could be a wonderful place and we’d return if attention were paid to our specific criticisms. We come up to Marine on St. Croix a couple of times a year to see dear friends in the area and would rent this apartment if some updated work was accomplished! We were very appreciative of the host’s kindness in allowing us a last-minute adjustment on the day of our arrival and departure due to a serious emergency at our home. The spacious living/dining area is a lovely feature that we truly enjoyed!!
