My husband loves walleye and a good ribeye steak. Phil's Tara hideaway has both. Traditional Greek plates, plus steak & seafood, served in relaxed environment in a decades-old cabin. Pretty small and can be very busy. I'd call ahead!

Things to Do & See
Head across the St. Croix river to visit one of our favorite places, Willow River State Park. You'll need a $5 day pass and it's a short hike down a hill (steep climb back up) but visiting the magnificent waterfall is worth the effort 100%!

Downtown Stillwater was built on hills (much like San Francisco) and has five sets of historic steps that you can climb for exercise or the view.
- South Hill Stairs
- Chestnut Street Stairs
- Pioneer Park Stairs
- Triangle Park Stairs
Each set has about 100 steps in a very steep vertical climb. Wind your way through downtown to find them all (about 3 mile/1 hour walk).

Walking/Biking to Downtown
Walking or biking downtown in the summertime might be your best option for parking. Otherwise there's a free parking like right next to the "Teddy Bear Park" that is our go-to for parking when we visit the downtown area.
