The cabin was cozy and very tastefully decorated with lots of special touches. The lower level was private and just the right size for two. Loved the in-floor heat in the bathroom! The location was great - close enough to parks, restaurants and shopping but far enough away to be quiet and on a road that doesn't have much traffic. Ned and Connie provided a good supply of snacks and breakfast items, bottled water and yogurt with fresh berries. They also left us a thoughtful anniversary message and gift of dark chocolate! Connie and Ned were away during much of our stay so we didn't get the chance to visit much, but we enjoyed the peacefulness and solitude. The weather was cold during our stay, but there was still plenty to do with hiking, shopping in Stillwater, winery visits (highly recommend Rustic Roots in Scandia) and lots of good restaurants. Our favorites were the Watershed Cafe in Osceola, Oasis Cafe in Stillwater for the biggest breakfast you'll ever have, Pizza Pub in Center City, and the Drive-in in Taylor Falls. Even though the leaves were past peak, there was still a good amount of color, and the scenery was lovely. Thank you for a great, restful stay!
