Historic Home with Modern Touches Near Taylor's Falls and Stillwater

Cascade House has all the charm you could ask for in a historic house, and all the updates you need to stay cozy and comfortable. With a fireplace, office, and plenty of living space, you may never want to go out. But if you decide to venture out, Cascade House is just blocks from shops and restaurants in historic downtown Osceola, and minutes from hiking at national and state parks, kayaking, canoeing, skiing and ropes courses, and even ATV/Snowmobile trails. With beautiful original details from floor to ceiling, and stories for the ages (you'll have to come stay to hear why every light fixture is missing just one sconce), the house welcomes its guests with old-fashioned warmth. It has plenty of space to gather for meals and group activities, as well as nooks and crannies for more private rest and relaxation. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated so that the home maintains its historic charm without creating unnecessary inconvenience. It's a perfect place for a gathering of friends or family, work colleagues for personal or commercial gatherings. Work Remotely: With a mesh network and several work stations, working remotely should be a breeze. We've made sure to include power strips near our desks to allow for charging multiple devices. Accessibility: The home was built in the 1890s, which means that the doors are not wide enough for most wheelchairs, and the floors are not entirely level. There are four steps to get into the house, but there is a bedroom and bath on the main floor to help accommodate guests of all ages and abilities. You should expect the quirks that come with age, including creaky, uneven floorboards in places. The upstairs bathroom showerhead is low to accommodate a slanted ceiling. We've placed eye-hook locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors because the age of the doors prevents the door handles from locking properly. Much of the wiring has been updated, and many light switches are labeled with switches by doorways, but because gas lighting was still in use when the house was built you may need to have an adventurous spirit and a dose of curiosity to find the power you're looking for. Heating/Cooling: In winter, Cascade House stays warm and cozy thanks to radiant heat and the natural gas fireplace. In summer, it is cooled with A/C units (2 upstairs, 1 downstairs), and ceiling fans. Parking: Cascade House has a wide drive-way with free, off-the-street parking for up to 3 vehicles. Cascade House is a very walkable distance from the Osceola historic downtown, complete with ice cream, antiques, home and clothing boutiques, and, of course, cheese. Also downtown is Cascade Falls, a beautiful waterfall with plenty of space for picnicking, wading, or exploring behind the falls. It is also the trailhead for the short hike to a sandy beach on the banks of the St. Croix river.
