It was like staying in a museum! Mad respect for the proprietors (whoever they are?), for the magnificent job they did using all authentic pieces for this Victorian/Edwardian styled BNB. We stayed in the St. Croix room only because it had the only king bed in the B&B. Plenty of room. Breakfast was a voucher for the Lowell Inn, about two blocks away for a preset breakfast menu, which was more than adequate and delicious!

Property was located on a hill about two very very steep blocks from the riverfront so plan accordingly! We never did meet the proprietors as everything is self check in (albeit with very good check-in instructions sent the day prior, and any questions are promptly responded to within the hour). Personally, we found this very impersonal. Also, I’m sure it was done with good intentions, but, you should not assume that your guests need a Bible on the nightstand next to the bed. We did not! Central Air conditioning was good the first night we were there, but the second night for whatever reason, the central air conditioning was turned off and we had to use the window box air conditioner, which was very loud and kept us up half the night!

I had booked thinking it might be cooler for Mother’s Day weekend since it’s our anniversary as well. I was happy to find out they must have central air because it ended up being unseasonable hot! It was very close to all the action in Stillwater. We walked by the river and enjoyed the extra space we had versus some of the local hotels. They give you a card for breakfast at Lowell Inn. It is very close by and they had a delicious breakfast menu to choose from. I was surprised by it at first, but honestly I think I preferred it. My husband and I don’t get much time alone, so it was nice to have the privacy of our own table and to choose what we wanted to eat. I would stay again!

Everything was great.

Quiet, peaceful lodging and safe feeling neighborhood. Cookies and coffee included. Chapstick was also a bonus gift. A nice variety of soaps, hair products provided. Quaint, cozy. Shoe coverings were provided so we didn't have to take off our shoes which was required otherwise. Breakfast voucher at the Lowell Inn was nice since no meals or personal contact were available from staff.

It, to me, is always nice to be greated by staff and assisted with any questions I might have. All communication was done by text, a bit impersonal.

My mother and I stayed in the St. Croix Suit for a mother daughter trip. Our entire stay was absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations. The check in and out process was very easy and clear due to the helpful information provided ahead of time. The house and our room was immaculate and perfectly decorated and equipped with anything we might need. I felt like I was stepping back in time to stay in a room at Downton Abbey but with all the modern necessities for an easy comfortable stay. Although the Aurora Staples Inn wasn’t providing breakfast during our stay, we received a gift card for the Lowell Inn for a complementary breakfast instead. This was located just down the road within walking distance in nice weather, and it was a lovely breakfast and location as well. Overall wonderful experience I would highly recommend! Hopefully I will get the chance to come back again in the future.

Only downside for me would be that breakfast wasn’t available at location during our stay but both my mother and I still enjoyed the Lowell Inn for breakfast as it was very good!

The house itself is so historical and well kept! Our room was upgraded to the St. Croix Suite and was so comfortable and cozy. Thank you, Rachelle! Nice jacuzzi tub, dual fireplace, and king size bed. The owners were very friendly and helpful. There was Keurig coffee available in the foyer. We were given a voucher for breakfast at the nearby Lowell Inn. It was fantastic!! Wish we could have spent a couple of days at Aurora!

The bed was really comfortable, but I think it was a memory foam mattress which is too warm for me. :( My husband loved it. :)

All the little extras that they went above and beyond to insure a very lovely stay. Salted carmels and chocolate a very sweet touch! We stayed in the Carriage house and enjoyed the spaciousness of the room. It was cozy and had a fireplace with a big jacuzzi tub right next to it, to make it even more romantic. I like the private entrance as not to bother the other guest. Very quaint neighborhood and not to far from the downtown shopping stores. Love the breakfast card at the Lowell's Inn their breakfast was absolutely amazing. Would diffently go back and try thier other dining options.

Not a thing everything was amazing.

Celebrating a family 75th birthday. She grew up in Stillwater and loves the beautiful old houses so staying at the Aurora was perfect! The coffee and chocolate just outside the room was very much appreciated too. The room was beautiful and very clean. The bed was excellent for us, so comfortable. Although I missed having breakfast at the house the certificate for breakfast at the nearby Lowell Inn was a wonderful experience.

I only have one little issue. First, I want to say this only disappointment turned out to be a blessing in the end. One of the things I have loved about using a bed and breakfast is meeting interesting people. In the past we have met owners who showed us around and given us a bit of history of the house, and we met other guests at breakfast. That was part of the fun. We never met another soul at the house, having received instructions over the phone and let ourselves in. I missed the personal touch, even this follow up was on line. We are old, we like dealing with people, not technology. However we did have a wonderful breakfast experience using the gift certificate at the Lowell Inn and it did make up for it, and I would love to stay there again.

Check in and out was very easy. We loved the location and proximity to Main Street. The breakfast at Lowell Inn was a nice excursion and were treated well there (order the Pancakes!). The little treats everywhere were a nice touch. We loved the St. Croix room and would have loved to stay longer. We did not see any owner/ staff at any point but response time was fast. We recommend LoLo and a late outing to the candy shop that is open until 10om.

We loved that it was close by to downtown. We also really appreciated the excellent breakfast at Lowell Inn. The owner was very friendly! We also loved the original flooring in the home.

We tend to like a more firm bed, so we thought the bed was a little soft. I'm sure people who like a softer bed would love this one though!

This place is so comfortable, so clean, extra little touches in the room, neat decor, games, cards, Keurig coffee, snacks, extra drinks in fridge (water, soda). Very well kept Victorian home. Nice porch came with this room to have coffee and read in, Great location to downtown Stillwater.

Everything was exceptional.
