The Outing Lodge

Upon arrival everything looks good, but...... I picked this specific place due for my birthday due location, price, fireplace and a jacuzzi tub. Everything is extrememely old, worn and some things are even broken such as window shades and the jacuzzi tub which did not or could not operate due to missing parts. There was leaky pipe in the bathroom too. You can not control the thermostat as it is locked. There is a portable space heater in the very cold bathroom. There is not a fireplace as advertised, rather a portable mini space heater with fake flames in the room. At one point, my shoe heal went through the wood flooring next to the bed! I contacted the owner before checkout and told her my concerns and her responses were rude, deplorable, and down right demeaning! Was not willing to apologize for false advertising of the room accomadations. Instead I was blamed for not contacting her sooner! She critized me for not attending the complimentary breakfast for which you sign up on a sheet at check-in which I did not do as I did not want breakfast there. GASLIGHT at its finest! She told me she would contact me later in the day and give me a "small" refund. Well, it's been 3 days and no contact and my credit card was charged in full. The owner is greedy and cheap! End of story.

This place is seriously just magic. A hidden Minnesota gem. Beautiful grounds, rooms were clean and full of stories. And the breakfast was some of the best I've ever had. We had a chance to meet one of the owner's and she was just lovely! We 100% will be back!!

Beautiful historic place, so peaceful and serene. We enjoyed our 2 nights, visited Stillwater. This is an old home, so be prepared for cobwebs etc, but it was stunning, definitely will stay again. The grounds were lovely to walk around. So quiet
