This is a wonderful spot to explore the Taylor Falls and Interstate Park areas. Connie is an enthusiastic host, providing tasteful breakfast and snacks for the room. Small refrigerator, microwave, and electric kettle provide function to a multi-night stay. Hot shower and deep bath are soothing after long hikes in the parks, MN and WI sides. Vegan options include Watershed Cafe (Osceola) and Vegetarian (St. Croix Falls) restaurants. Franconia Sculpture Park was a highlight.
