Has it all!
Melanie was a wonderful host. She was very accommodating and her property and home were quaint and well furnished for our stay. It was the perfect place for our yearly friends getaway. Stillwater MN is a beautiful town to visit and explore also.

Excellent girls weekend
Florence’s/ Stillwater was a wonderful place to spend our annual besties girls weekend. The location was excellent - so many beautiful homes and only a 25 minute or so walk to downtown Stillwater. Great indoor and outdoor space to hang out and chat. We had a great time. The home looks like the pictures and location was better than expected.

Charming house
Great location, charming and very comfortable, with well equipped kitchen. Do read the history of the house by Melanie. It adds so much to the spirit of the house! Melanie also provides biking maps and suggestions for those interested. Planning to return some day!

Charming House and Beautiful Yard
I stayed in this lovely home with my daughter and three granddaughters. We didn't lack a thing. The weather during our stay was very hot and humid, but we were perfectly comfortable in the air conditioning. My youngest granddaughter and I loved the labyrinth in the yard. Communicating with the owner was always easy and pleasant. I highly recommend staying here while in Stillwater.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Ebertz

Host profile image
My roots are in the St. Croix River Valley, the house I invite you to stay in was my Grandma Florence's! I am passionate about the river, the history & the arts & architecture of Stillwater. I love the cycling, walking and all the great things our river town offers. I am a guide of the Peruvian Andes so the valley hills keep me as closely connected to the mountains as the mid-west can get. I also design Peruvian textiles, so there is a lot of rich color & texture in the house. Having guiding in my genes, I am always happy to point guests in the direction of their passions.

Why they chose this property

Depth of character, comfort and charm! Due to the fact that I spent part of my childhood in this house, I am committed to the preservation of this historic property and making it comfortable for your stay. The valley offers many outdoor activities the house is conveniently situated and the biking & walking is superb!

What makes this property unique

A comfortable house on a large double lot that calls one to sit outside, or on the porch, and enjoy the gardens & the birds. Two porches & lots of green space. AND a Labyrinth, how unique is that!
