We call this space we are renting the "barn apartment". The building looks like a big red barn from the outside however it has never been used as a barn, only built to look like one. The apartment is on the 3rd floor of the building. It is nestled in a clearing of 5 acres surrounded by trees and with a small apple orchard. The apartment is fully furnished. The barn building is located on 54 acres of land so it is a quiet, peaceful, and beautiful short or long term retreat. The space We are conveniently located a 1/2 mile walk from Square Lake Beach. Square Lake Beach hosts many biathlons and triathlons as well as has a beautiful sand beach and has full-time lifeguards in the Summer. Our roads are loved by bicyclists and motorcyclists throughout the Spring and Summer months. We are a 15 minute drive into downtown Stillwater and the beautiful St. Croix River. We are a 30 minute drive into downtown Hudson, just across the St. Croix River in Wisconsin. The city of St. Paul is a 45 minute drive and the city of Minneapolis is a 55 minute drive away for a fun night out or day trip. Guest access Guests will rent the entire apartment on the 3rd floor. There is outside access to the apartment only. The 2nd floor of the house is just ours for occasional friends and family gatherings, the basement of the house functions as a garage. The basement and 2nd floor are not part of the apartment rental. Other things to note Our driveway is long and curves quiet a bit. It can be intense in the wintertime. We do suggest that you have good all season tires and preferably all wheel drive, if not a 4-wheel drive vehicle. We plow our driveway ourselves and we do salt and sand quite a bit, we drive up and down our driveway too so we do our best to keep it clear. We do request our renters to keep their short drive and parking area cleared for themselves and their outdoor steps to the apartment cleared off.
