It's okay
To start, the location is amazing and the hosts seemed really friendly and nice. Staying in the old school house sounded cool but was less charming than I thought it would be. The smell in the hallway is terrible, the beds were uncomfortable, there were lots of little bugs in the room (ants, spiders, beetles), and the floors were dirty. Dirty enough that we all ended up wearing sandals in the room. We enjoyed our time but probably wouldn't stay again.

Quiet, historic building close to everything in the town of Marine on the St Croix…several dining and gift options, art gallery, library and quaint post office in this river town settled in mid 1800s. The paintings and photographs on the walls of the unit added so much value.

A perfect spot for me!
The hosts are amazing & their little place is too. Great location, quiet, a perfect spot for what I needed for a week. The place was clean, well furnished (cute too!), many comforts of home. I needed a couple of things during my stay and the owner resolved them within a few minutes. I would recommend this to friends, family, anyone looking for a cozy little spot.

Short Business Stay
Stayed here once before and came back for a short business stay while I was working in the area. Location is again great and close to a fair bit of attractions in the area. Internet is still on the slow side, so for work it wasn’t the best. But, that’s totally fine! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient place to stay in the area.

David is a wonderful host that’s there if you need him but doesn’t feel the need to be involved with more than you require. We loved getting to check in to such a nice, calm, safe, and clean space for almost 7 weeks! We will be back and we will be sending others their way!

Renter beware~stay away from this property.
The property is dated, dirty, and not representative of the pictures on VRBO. Aside from a place to sleep, the space in uncomfortable, the bathroom was dirty, and the shower was like a power-washer~~had to strategically move in fear of losing a nip. My husband and I also came home with bites from all over our bodies, I can't confirm bedbugs, but it was from the bed. The TV did not work, and the wifi was horrible. The only thing that this place has to offer is the cute little town, Marine on the St. Croix. We spent way to much for three nights, which was a rip-off, I asked the owner for a small refund, and they will not respond. My family told me I could never choose a location again.

Good overall
Very clean & quiet. I stayed during a few very cold winter days/nights & electric baseboard heat struggled to keep cozy warm temp inside unit. Property manager very responsive & accommodating. Very cool historic General Store with home style bread bakery. The town has a 100+ year old horn/siren that can go off in middle of night, which can be startling. Would be a fun place during summer months to take in more of the town & surroundings.

Cozy spot in a great location
My daughter and I stayed here for a week to be close to a camp she was attending. The place was perfect for us - it was very clean, cozy, across the street from cute shops (we loved the ice cream shop), and the internet worked well so I was able to work all week. The hosts were very responsive to our questions/requests. We would stay here again.
