Hotels in Stillwater

Hugging the St. Croix River, this charming town invites exploration of 19th-century Main Street, where antique shops and boutiques occupy historic buildings. Board a paddlewheel boat for views of dramatic bluffs while bald eagles soar overhead. The historic Lift Bridge stands as an engineering marvel, connecting to Wisconsin across these once-busy logging waters. Lowell Park offers front-row seats to river traffic, while the Logging and Railroad Museum chronicles the town's boom years. Sample craft beers at Lift Bridge Brewing Company or venture to Saint Croix Vineyards for surprising tastings. In winter, the spectacular Ice Castle transforms the riverfront into a frozen fantasy world that makes even locals forget to complain about the cold.
