THE SPACE
Parking: Due to the location on a busy street, extra care is needed when exiting the driveway.
Traffic noise: The street can get very busy/loud at times with traffic, especially on the weekends in the summertime. If you are a light sleeper we recommend having a white noise app on your phone or bringing a sound machine.

DOWNSTAIRS
The large, full kitchen is recently updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully-stocked with all the equipment you need to make a home-cooked meal. You bring the food!
- Drip coffee maker and french press (no keurig/pods)
- Eat-in breakfast bar seats 3
- Family-style dining table seats 8 people
- Coffee, tea and sugar provided
- Salt/pepper and olive oil provided

Our wood-paneled parlor room has comfy couches and a smart TV to stream your favorite channels. Listen to the radio on our vintage 1961 Magnavox console. Grab a book, play a game or simply relax and chat with friends.

The "Coral Room" has an open closet for coats & clothes and a pull-out couch that serves as an additional sleep space (note: there are no doors to this room). Kid-friendly games, record player and books are in the cube storage. Access to the 1/2 bath.

**Being a quite old 2-story building, Miss Myrtle's temperature can be a little tough to regulate and she tends to be cozy upstairs and cool downstairs. During winter, we recommend bringing slippers and a comfy robe/sweatshirt to wear while hanging out downstairs. Every room has vents which can be toggled to change the airflow to your comfort.

The house, and host Emily, were wonderful. 5 of us, and the house was perfectly equipped to make us all very comfortable. Beds were comfy, bathrooms great, 3 sitting rooms, living areas.

The Perfect Stillwater Stay

My bridesmaids and I stayed here during my wedding weekend. It was the perfect place to get ready, hang out, and enjoy our time together. The house itself is adorable, and has everything you need for a fun weekend. It’s a short walk to downtown and made everything about our wedding run super smoothly. I loved my stay!

Clean and beautiful place for a great weekend with friends

Emily made everything about the experience easy, as she was extremely responsive when we had a couple of questions. Everything was clean and comfortable and we loved all of the little touches, such as the history of the property and all of the Myrtle drawings on the wall. The property was also very close to everything and it helped make our friends weekend so special. I would definitely stay here again!

Just what we needed.

Nice house. Older house but nicely remodeled keeping the old town architecture feel with updated amenities. Nice and close to downtown. The town was very busy with an art fest but the river so the street buy the house was very busy so you had be careful pulling out onto the street. One thing to be aware of is that the stairs going up to the bedrooms could be difficult for the elderly or less mobile. Overall an excellent stay at this house.
