8 Serene Minnesota Towns For A Weekend Retreat

Stillwater is one of the river towns on the St. Croix River. The river flows along the bookshops and antique stores of the town before cutting a gentle path through a forest of towering trees, making the small town feel truly enchanted. To give your getaway weekend a romantic vibe, stay at Aurora Staples Inn. While each room is unique, every single one is packed with coziness that seems to be otherwise left behind in the 1800s. A room at this Inn even comes with a voucher for breakfast at a local restaurant. After breakfast, enjoy some of Stillwater’s whimsy at Teddy Bear Park. The park is home to a giant concrete teddy bear and its concrete cub. Eat among the teddy bears at the many picnic tables, or utilize the two-level barn, which has kitchens that are great for warming food.
