Across reviews, Park Place Cottage stands out for its quiet, convenient setting, inviting outdoor areas, a well-equipped kitchen, responsive hosting, and a few cautions about limited parking and some steep stairs or an unusual downstairs bathroom layout.
Cleanliness receives strong marks across stays, with only small oversights noted and one report of stuffy noses indoors. Guests highlight generous common areas, multiple bedrooms, and comfortable beds that work well for group gatherings. Expect a relaxed, home-like base for exploring White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, and Stillwater.

Great quiet location, family enjoyed the fire pit. Plenty of space and dishes to serve 15 when additional family joined us for brunch.

The only problem we experienced was parking. We had 4 somewhat large cars and was difficult to maneuver.

House had plenty of space. We loved the brick patio out back. Close to everything in White Bear Lake area. A couple of things (not to be negative but maybe just to note): downstairs bathroom is not very accessible for elderly. Had a really hard time helping our 82 year old mother get to the bathroom. Might be helpful to let people know about the up and over step configuration.

Perfect space for our family and friends to hang out - around the dinner table, on the porch, deck and balcony. Easy check in, and quick and easy communication with Tim. We would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Tim's Park Place Cottage is a charming, roomy place to stay. The outside areas are fantastic and we used them all, including both decks (which are like dwelling in a forest canopy), the fire pit, the patio and grill. Kris says there were lots of conveniently placed hooks for hanging things, and recommends non-slip footwear for ascending and descending the steep and narrow staircase. The location was perfect for us and the neighborhood is just beautiful. We recommend the walk down to Mahtomedi Beach. We didn't have occasion to ask Tim for any assistance because our stay was worry-free, but there's no doubt he would have been on the spot if we'd needed him. Thanks for helping make our vacation a superb one, Tim!

Park Place was great place for a weekend Sisters weekend. Ample space for conversation indoors and outside. Tim is a good host and would rent from him again. Only issue with the property is that parking is challenging. This was stated upfront in property details so it’s not a complaint. But two cars would be ideal instead of the three that were in our group.

I got this VRBO for my out of town family (4 adults) to stay in for our daughter’s wedding and we couldn’t be happier!! The check in was easy, the place is great! There was plenty of space to get ready for the wedding (the owner kindly gave us early check-in), they all slept well and said they “felt like they were home”. It was comfortable and clean, they were able to really relax. It was only blocks from my home so convenient for me to transport, etc. They appreciated the bag of ice in the freezer, the makeup face cleansers in the bathroom. My brother in law liked the layout of the house snd really wanted to start a campfire in the fire pit but sadly it rained. Personally, I’m very pleased with this place and look forward to having family come back and stay there for future get togethers. It is a gem!

This was the perfect place for our girls weekend getaway. There were four of us and everyone had their own comfortable room. All amenities we needed were included- including leftover Halloween candy! :) Everything was clean, the neighborhood was safe and quiet, and we would totally stay there again. It would be great for several families with kids- lots of puzzles, games and toys too!

The location of the property is excellent. You are close to several major highways and county roads, but far enough away to feel like you aren't in the city. The property is very clean and provided plenty of room for our group of 7. The linens and towels are very soft and were nice to use. We really appreciated the very clean highchair that was provided for our 1 year old. We would definitely stay again!

The property was located near White Bear Lake, though no view of the lake was available (not expecting one) and met our need to be near family who live in White Bear. If we were spending more time at this house, I'd be a little more critical, but we were mostly out. My vacation house rental experience tells me it's the little things that matter (dead batteries in TV remote, coffee grounds in coffee maker from previous tenant, fire pit full of ashes, soot and partial burn wood from previous tenant, etc.) and can create frustration unnecessarily. Again, location and need for clean overnight accommodations checked our priority boxes.

Rooms
Spacious common areas and multiple bedrooms suit groups, and beds are comfortable. Several guests note steep or narrow stairs and an unusual split-level downstairs bathroom that can be difficult for elderly or toddlers; one mentions the downstairs shower/tub could use updating.

The location was perfect for showing our Iowa friends this part of MN. We went to White Bear, Como Park, Stillwater, Marine on the St. Croix, Taylor's Falls, and all the fun little towns in between. The house suited our needs and was well stocked. The only minor complaint is the downstairs bathroon shower/tub needs updating.

Overall this is a beautiful home. Several challenges witg young children that were difficult to ascertain from description. Fenced in part of yard quite small. Backyard is not as large as thought from pics and not amenable for children (even 6 and 8). Steep stairs off deck without safety gate at top made the deck unusable. First floor bathroom requires going up and then down 3 steps - not ideal for toddlers. Stairs to upstairs narrow with fairly high pitch. Also no safety latches on cabinets with cleaning supplies. I did appreciate the children's dishes and the clean and solid high chair as well as the pack n play That being said Tim was quite responsive when I emailed questions. I WOULD rent thus property again with older children.

We booked this for a small bachelorette "party" and the bride absolutely loved it! It's such a cute and charming space. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough to take advantage of the beautiful fire pit area and more deck time. Check in was simple. Location is kinda tricky but if you follow his directions it's easy to find. Parking is limited though! We had a great time!

Quiet residential setting convenient to White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Stillwater, and nearby highways, with shops and pubs a short drive away. A few mention it's a bit tricky to find and that there's no lake view.

We booked this for a small bachelorette "party" and the bride absolutely loved it! It's such a cute and charming space. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough to take advantage of the beautiful fire pit area and more deck time. Check in was simple. Location is kinda tricky but if you follow his directions it's easy to find. Parking is limited though! We had a great time!

The location was perfect for showing our Iowa friends this part of MN. We went to White Bear, Como Park, Stillwater, Marine on the St. Croix, Taylor's Falls, and all the fun little towns in between. The house suited our needs and was well stocked. The only minor complaint is the downstairs bathroon shower/tub needs updating.

House had plenty of space. We loved the brick patio out back. Close to everything in White Bear Lake area. A couple of things (not to be negative but maybe just to note): downstairs bathroom is not very accessible for elderly. Had a really hard time helping our 82 year old mother get to the bathroom. Might be helpful to let people know about the up and over step configuration.

The location of the property is excellent. You are close to several major highways and county roads, but far enough away to feel like you aren't in the city. The property is very clean and provided plenty of room for our group of 7. The linens and towels are very soft and were nice to use. We really appreciated the very clean highchair that was provided for our 1 year old. We would definitely stay again!

We were in MN for a week, and stayed at this property the whole time. Check in was easy, the property was wonderfully eclectic, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this property for those looking for a nice quiet, upscale place to stay. It is close to the coffee shops, stores and pubs. Highly recommended!

Tim's Park Place Cottage is a charming, roomy place to stay. The outside areas are fantastic and we used them all, including both decks (which are like dwelling in a forest canopy), the fire pit, the patio and grill. Kris says there were lots of conveniently placed hooks for hanging things, and recommends non-slip footwear for ascending and descending the steep and narrow staircase. The location was perfect for us and the neighborhood is just beautiful. We recommend the walk down to Mahtomedi Beach. We didn't have occasion to ask Tim for any assistance because our stay was worry-free, but there's no doubt he would have been on the spot if we'd needed him. Thanks for helping make our vacation a superb one, Tim!

Rented for a girls weekend to attend Harvestfest in Stillwater!! Place was very cozy, clean and very close to downtown Mahtomedi so we had live music at the Dugout Bar!! Great weather so we enjoyed the outdoor deck as well. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent this house again!

The property was located near White Bear Lake, though no view of the lake was available (not expecting one) and met our need to be near family who live in White Bear. If we were spending more time at this house, I'd be a little more critical, but we were mostly out. My vacation house rental experience tells me it's the little things that matter (dead batteries in TV remote, coffee grounds in coffee maker from previous tenant, fire pit full of ashes, soot and partial burn wood from previous tenant, etc.) and can create frustration unnecessarily. Again, location and need for clean overnight accommodations checked our priority boxes.

We had a good stay, unfortunately parking was a little difficult. We had a few different cars and was told to park at a lot down the street but when we tried there was a farmers market early on a Saturday morning and the car would have been towed. So we had to street park in the down town area And someone had to shuttle people back and forth.

Because of the wet weather we were unable to utilize some of the amenities that were offered with this listing. Plenty of room, except for the downstairs bathroom which is a fairly cramped space. Parking is a little tricky. All in all, the six of us had a good time and plenty of space for us to relax after a couple days of exploring the nearby town of Stillwater MN.
