THE SPACE
Parking: Due to the location on a busy street, extra care is needed when exiting the driveway.
Traffic noise: The street can get very busy/loud at times with traffic, especially on the weekends in the summertime. If you are a light sleeper we recommend having a white noise app on your phone or bringing a sound machine.

DOWNSTAIRS
The large, full kitchen is recently updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully-stocked with all the equipment you need to make a home-cooked meal. You bring the food!
- Drip coffee maker and french press (no keurig/pods)
- Eat-in breakfast bar seats 3
- Family-style dining table seats 8 people
- Coffee, tea and sugar provided
- Salt/pepper and olive oil provided

Our wood-paneled parlor room has comfy couches and a smart TV to stream your favorite channels. Listen to the radio on our vintage 1961 Magnavox console. Grab a book, play a game or simply relax and chat with friends.

The "Coral Room" has an open closet for coats & clothes and a pull-out couch that serves as an additional sleep space (note: there are no doors to this room). Kid-friendly games, record player and books are in the cube storage. Access to the 1/2 bath.

**Being a quite old 2-story building, Miss Myrtle's temperature can be a little tough to regulate and she tends to be cozy upstairs and cool downstairs. During winter, we recommend bringing slippers and a comfy robe/sweatshirt to wear while hanging out downstairs. Every room has vents which can be toggled to change the airflow to your comfort.

The Perfect Stillwater Stay
My bridesmaids and I stayed here during my wedding weekend. It was the perfect place to get ready, hang out, and enjoy our time together. The house itself is adorable, and has everything you need for a fun weekend. It’s a short walk to downtown and made everything about our wedding run super smoothly. I loved my stay!

Clean and beautiful place for a great weekend with friends
Emily made everything about the experience easy, as she was extremely responsive when we had a couple of questions. Everything was clean and comfortable and we loved all of the little touches, such as the history of the property and all of the Myrtle drawings on the wall. The property was also very close to everything and it helped make our friends weekend so special. I would definitely stay here again!

This was the perfect house and location to gather with my mom and sisters. There were six of us all together. The house is clean, well supplied, decorated and homey. Communications were great and it was easy to check in and out. We also loved that everything was in walking distance. We would absolutely stay again.

Great Wedding Weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable and within a few minutes walking distance to the venue and downtown restaurants. The beds were super comfortable. The host was very quickly responsive when we needed help accessing the property. Note to future stays, watch your step - the stairs are a little steep to the top floor.

My friends and I are knitters and came into town for Darn Knit Anyway’s Sweater Camp in February. Having a base three blocks away from the event was wonderful, and this was a GREAT spot to sit and knit and spend time together.

Miss Myrtle
Lovely porches, very large functional kitchen, large dining room to seat 8, very large bedrooms with up to date bathrooms. Extremely comfortable beds. Lovely clean home! Only complaints…leather sofa could have more support to watch movies….a recliner chair would be great!! And the hills make you breathless when walking up to Myrtle from Main Street. Thoroughly enjoyed the views.

Great house and location
We stayed with 2 couples for a friend's wedding. Loved that each room had a fan for white noise while sleeping. The master suite is huge! Really liked the Alexa for playing music, and although we were busy and it was raining, the jumbo Jenga and bags were a fun addition. And it is a few blocks from downtown which was amazing. The beds were okay; they are a little firm for my taste. I'd definitely stay here again.

Charming, comfortable stay in Beautiful Stillwater
We absolutely loved our stay and hope to come back. We are from the area so we knew the location was good but the street is busy so be cautious with little ones. The night traffic isn’t disturbing at all but daytime is busy. There is a very private backyard and everything you need for a longer stay. Easy walk to downtown and there’s a peek of the river from the upstairs balcony. The owners were very responsive and easy to contact. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. I’m hesitant to rave too much about it because we don’t want it to book up too fast! I do have to highly recommend though.
