River Song Cottage is nestled along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, near downtown St. Croix Falls. Our home includes 2 bedrooms (1: queen bed, 2: twin over full bunk + twin trundle), 1 bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, open dining and living room area, and a large deck that overlooks the St. Croix River. The wooded area between our yard and the river is National Park Service land. Public walking paths can be accessed through the visitor center next door. The space Two bedrooms are available in River Song Cottage. The "Overlook Bedroom" contains a queen size canopy bed. The second bedroom, the "Chickadee Nest," holds a twin over full bunkbed, with an additional twin size trundle bed available below. The full bathroom has a tub/shower, linens and hair dryer. Our kitchen includes a full size refrigerator, stove/oven and dishwasher, as well as a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and electric kettle. The kitchen and dining rooms are in an open space, with a large table, chairs, couch, loveseat and a smart tv. We utilize a Roku guest system, which allows guests to safely access their own streaming services, as well as free Roku channels. A highlight of River Song Cottage, is the spacious deck on the back of the house, overlooking the St. Croix River and our large backyard. Deck furniture and a propane grill are available for guest use, as well as a fire pit for bonfires and firewood. Please note that the river view directly from our property is seasonal, as the foliage within the wooded area between our yard and the St. Croix River (owned by the National Park Service) is thick enough to obstruct views of the river from approximately mid-May to mid-September. During this time, our backyard remains gorgeous and relaxing, and river views are only a short walk away. :) Guest access Guest access includes the entire first floor, deck, front and back yards. The basement and a garden shed are closed to guest access at this time. Other things to note Guests are allowed to include up to 2 dogs in their stay. We kindly request that guests clean up after their dogs both indoors and outdoors. A pet bed is available, and we ask that dogs are not allowed on to the guest beds. Please note that smoking or vaping of any kind is not allowed in the property.
