About this property

A room with a view!

This well appointed efficiency apartment, off the property's main house, gives you a sense of living in a tree house on the banks of the coveted St. Croix river. Wake up to gorgeous sunrises from a comfortable queen bed. A nearby full size futon couch can accommodate two more guests. This apartment offers a great place to relax after a day of exploring quaint river towns such as Bayport, Stillwater, and Afton on the Minnesota side or Hudson and Prescott on the Wisconsin side. Or, simply enjoy the natural surroundings of our many area parks and trails. Situated above the Lakeland public beach, renters can make the easy hike down the path, below the apartment, to enjoy the river. Two kayaks are available for your use. A large shared deck invites you to relax outside. Eagle sightings are common at all times of the years and in the spring you’ll love the chorus from the many tree frogs that inhabit the area. Use the gas grill for a riverside BBQ or relax around the fire pit! This property is on the second floor and access is via an outside set of stairs. This apartment has a bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. Towels are included. The kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, microwave/convection oven, counter top 2 burner induction stove, refrigerator, coffee maker and necessary dishes and utensils to make a scrumptious meal. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from downtown St. Paul and 25 minutes to the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The Bungalow supper club is less than a block away and offers great food at a reasonable price. With the Friday fish fry and Karoke, Saturday afternoon Bingo and Prime Rib Dinner, and a great Sunday brunch buffet, you'll never need to drive or cook once you arrive should that be your choosing. Come relax and enjoy the best of MN river living!

Lakeland, MN stay
Great place to stay for the price. Close access to I94 into the cities or easy cross over to Hudson, WI. Because of the closeness to I94 there is a constant highway sound if you’re sitting outside on the deck but not noticeable inside. Studio apartment layout worked well for us. I would suggest a light dimmer switch as most of the lights are all on one switch.
