Only the Bounty Waters Canoe Area rivals the paddling beauty of our family friendly retreat--only 40 mins from St. Paul and 20 mins from Stillwater!
Rent our next door site to bring multiple families together under a field of stars with plenty of room to camp or RV!
This home is right next door to St. Croix Islands Escape - book both for your family gathering or small event!
The waters of St Croix Islands is where generations of memories spring. Experience the gentle flow of time where every paddle adds a drop of richness to lives scattered by screens. With kayaks and canoes provided, get lost in a world where sandbars are more common than cars; and great places to nap, fish, swim, or picnic are easy to find. Chase frogs in the cold springs close to the site; or paddle an hour upstream for ice cream and taverns in Marine on the St Croix--it's an easy float back (before sunset!) for western facing bonfires.
There is no greater joy than simple family time in nature, with all the comforts of home close by. Play hard outside and rest easy at Somerset River Retreat. This home features a stunning open concept kitchen with a 5 burner gas stove, large farmhouse sink with views of the great outdoors, a dual oven, huge fridge, and all stainless steel appliances. The round dining room table seats six comfortably, and boasts views of the river. The living room features plush seating and a bespoke petrified wood coffee table. Down in the den, there is no shortage of comfy spots to relax, including a chair and that hangs from the ceiling! Enjoy movie night on the large screen TV or play a game of oversized Scrabble or Connect Four. The den also features two bedrooms and a large full bathroom. The King Master Ensuite on the main floor boasts a stunning view of the St. Croix River with direct access outside, as well as a luxurious bathroom with a soaking tub. Another Queen bedroom down the hall features original artwork and easy access to the main bathroom.
Stay a while at Somerset River Retreat! You’ll want to make this your vacation home for years to come.
