Location
Neighborhood overview
In western Wisconsin, St. Croix Falls has become a destination for people who want to go places. It's the western terminus of the 1,000-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail, which traces the last glacier as it began to melt and retreat northward, leaving a marvelously lumpy patchwork of rock, rubble and river gorges. It's the southern trailhead of the 48-mile Gandy Dancer State Trail, a scenic crushed-limestone bicycle trail named for the rail workers who rhythmically swung pickaxes and hammers made by the Gandy Tool Co. And it's the headquarters of the 252-mile St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, with a new visitors center that helps paddlers plan trips from the Namekagon to the St. Croix's confluence with the Mississippi. There are another 12 trails in Interstate State Park, which became Wisconsin's first state park in 1900 and is the start of the Ice Age Trail.

What a treat to stay inside such a beautiful work of art! The Artist's Loft was a lovely retreat for my sisters and my dog to unwind, reconnect and enjoy the masterpiece Rhonda created. Such attention to detail, one delightful discovery after another. The outdoor space is incredible. The tub and rugs are perfect ;). I was even treated with a crow show, dozens and dozens playing in the wind before a big storm. I would come back to the area just to stay here again. Highly recommend the vintage shops down the street.

Beautiful place, so peaceful! I loved the relaxing music playing when we got in! It set the tone for the whole trip. My daughter is an artist and appreciated all the fine details. It was amazing, it didn't even feel like we were in town but in our own little place.❤️

The space was beautiful and perfect for a weekend away with friends. We slept 3 very comfortably! The host was kind and gave great recommendations— she even had the apartment ready ahead of schedule and offered an early check in. Much appreciated. We will be back!

What a cool, eclectic place. The book nook was captivating-I could've stayed for days just for that. Each area was inviting and comfortable. The outside space was fun and whimsy. Great location for food and trails and exploring the area. Rhonda was quick to respond and a pleasure to talk with.

Another great stay. We’ve been coming here over the years in the wintertime to celebrate our wedding anniversary. (We missed a year or two and were thrilled to be back). Beautiful place, lots to do in the area, and perfect for just hanging out. And the sleepy little historic district of St Croix Falls seems to be waking up! It’s nice to see. The new Vietnamese restaurant nearby is a welcome addition.
