About the host

Hosted by Barbra and Kirk Ackerman

Host profile image
We are married with grown children so we call that 'empty nested'. We love the St Croix River, Stillwater and general area. We enjoy boating and usually stay on our boat most of the warm weather season so our house is vacant and available at least 6 months out of the year. We decided to rent out vs. sell until we decide what we would like to do next. It is a big house for just the two of us so we decided to try VRBO since it is a nationally known site and introduces our home to more parties.

Why they chose this property

Quiet neighborhood, beautiful home and views.
Our home is known to be very clean and you will
have all the comforts of knowing this at check in.
The home will be all ready for your stay.
We love our location and Stillwater area is home to us.

What makes this property unique

The views of the St Croix, location and peaceful neighborhood.
Our home has been utilized by many groups but most often times families of wedding parties. Our home allows families to be together with having the comforts of home.
We will be happy to assist with any planning during your stay and have a good list of restaurant recommendations. We would be happy to make any or all reservations needed!
