About this property

Cottage on the lake near downtown Stillwater

Cottage home on the lake near downtown Stillwater. This little oasis is surrounded by trees and 400 feet of lakeshore. Watch the loons from the dock, take the kayaks out to see the wildlife, enjoy sunsets from the firepit or hammock, and hot tub under the stars. A path in the backyard can take you around the lake or to downtown Stillwater. The home has a cottage feel on the outside, but a modern aesthetic on the inside. It'll feel like a home away from home. We look forward to hosting you!

Friends weekend
It was a wonderful experience, the house was an accurate listing, clean and when we had a small issue with a beeping noise in the house on arrival the host was prompt in replies. Came very quickly and was extremely friendly dealing with it! Would definitely stay here again!

Megan's 50th Birthday!
It was a fabulous place for us to celebrate a 50th birthday for someone who wholeheartedly loves MN winter! It looked beautiful online, and then in person it was even better! We'd give it 10 stars if we could!

About the host

Hosted by Mandee Puente

Host profile image
My wife Sara and I have been married for over 19 years, have 2 kids, Tori and Ellie. We live in Stillwater and also have a couple of other vacation rentals and businesses downtown. We love our little town and hope you enjoy it as well!

Why they chose this property

We stumbled on this property in the summer of 2012. The home was in rough shape, but the property and the location was paradise. We renovated the home to our liking. The home is also rich in Stillwater history. The trail behind the house used to be the old trolley track that commuted loggers throughout Stillwater back in the 1800's. The trolley house is converted into a home now and is our closest neighbor. We've thoroughly enjoyed this property for the 3 short years we've been here. We felt that it would be fun to share this little treasure with others.

What makes this property unique

By far, the most fascinating aspects of this home is the view of the lake and wildlife. You can see the sunset over the lake from every room in the home. What also makes this property unique is it's country secluded feel, while still amidst the populated downtown Stillwater area. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we have.
