We spent a night in the Carriage House on this property. We loved the privacy provided by having a room separate from the main house. It is a very large room and has parking right outside the entry door. We loved the fact that the...More

  We stayed in the carriage house room at the Aurora Staples Inn. While you should know that the room is actually not connected to the main house, this lends for more privacy than you would typically get at a B&B. The room was very well...More

  We loved this B&B! Rachelle,the inn-keeper, was very friendly and personable. Appetizers and wine were served when we arrived. The room was beautiful and ours had it's own porch with a heater.. How fun to sit there even though it was cold outside. Loved the...More

  We stayed in the St. Croix Suite, a fabulous! The double-sided fire place was a great way to stay warm during their record setting winter storm (blizzard). We still took the opportunity to walk to downtown Stillwater. Rachelle (Innkeeper) is absolutely the finest host. A...More

  We just returned from two nights in Stillwater. My brothers and sister occupied all 5 rooms Rachelle has listed on her website( she actually has 6 rooms if you need an extra room for your group).I've stayed in numerous B&B's over the years and have...More

  We stayed at the Aurora Staples for two nights while visiting Stillwater. Aurora Staples is a well maintained old house now serving as a B&B. It is conveniently located a short walk to the main downtown area. With that said, it is a short but...More

  We saw all the rooms in the main house and they were all tastefully decorated. The common areas were very nice as well. Breakfast was tasty. We were there on a short get away for our 35th anniversary and really enjoyed the time away in the peaceful setting close to downtown shops and restaurants.

  My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aurora Staples Inn and look forward to coming back next year!! Rachelle knows how to serve her guests and made us feel special with attention to detail and a caring personality.

  The overall experience we have at the Aurora Staples Inn is always impeccable. We gave it a try last year while visiting family and have gone back several times. The Inn is beautifully decorated. Rochelle, the Innkeeper, does an amazing job making sure service is...More

  My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the Riverview Suite. Our room was clean and comfortable and we loved having the porch. It had a nice swing for relaxing and a little table where we ate breakfast each morning. Breakfast was delicious: pumpkin bread/pancakes (we weren’t really sure what to call them but we ate them down to the crumbs), pesto quiche, scones, and fruit. We decided to have breakfast served in our suite so we could enjoy it on the porch. Rochelle, our host, was the perfect combination of solicitous and unobtrusive.

One note: if you are thinking of going downtown, you might as well leave your car at Aurora Staples and walk (particularly if it is a weekend and the weather is decent). By the time we found parking downtown, we went much closer than we would have been if we had walked. Plus, given the size of the breakfast, we really needed to get in a few steps!

  We really enjoyed our stay at the Aurora Staples Inn. It's in a perfect location just a short walk from downtown and the river yet in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is provided and was...More

  Rachelle and staff were wonderful. Great breakfast and beautifully decorated, spacious room. Carriage room was great for our honeymoon. House is walking distance from downtown Stillwater. My wife and I will definitely be back!

  I stayed at the Aurora Staples Inn for a solo year-end retreat. This was my first time there, but it won't be my last. The historic house has been beautifully restored & furnished with gorgeous antiques. The owner, Rachelle, gave me a tour & recounted...More

  I visited this charming Inn on New Year's Eve 2017 and had a delightful experience so much so I felt compelled to write this review 8 months later. My fiancé and I checked in with little fanfare the owners met us with a cheerful greeting...More

  Rachelle is a sweet and attentive hostess. And a pretty good cook. Each breakfast was a thoughtful and tasty upgrade from the usual version of each receipe. But my wife us still talking about the pumpkin pancakes.
In case you're wondering about a February visit, the heat works just fine. The high temps were 20 degrees, but we bundled up and walked down to Main Street. The restaurants were full of happy people, and there are good antique / flea market opportunities, as well as upscale shopping.

  We stayed in the carriage house for our visit. Very well kept, private and spacious. 10 minute walk to Main Street and restaurants. Coffee and delicious breakfast were served in our room. We’ll definitely be back!

  My wife and I stayed in the Peacock room at Aurora Staples and had a wonderful time. The amenities were above-average and the breakfasts were outstanding. I highly recommend this B&B for a weekend getaway/romance.

  This B & B is warm, welcoming, and the perfect place for a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle. We were greeted by Rachelle the inn keeper with a glass of wine, fruit & cheese when we checked in. We stayed in the Riverview Suite which has a four season porch and ensuite bath with a jetted tub. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable and did I mention the romantic gas fireplace? The 3 course breakfasts were amazing. Loved the pumpkin baked pancake and fruit cobbler. Breakfast was so ample that we didn't have to eat until dinner! We didn't have a T.V. in our room (didn't miss it) which provided the opportunity for two big games of Scrabble in the parlor. Loved getting to know Rachelle and the history of this beautiful Victorian home. More

  We were fortunate enough to stay in the Riverview Suite, a beautiful, spacious room with a huge bathroom and gorgeous 2nd floor porch with ceiling fan, swing and romantic table for 2. Rachelle, the owner, welcomed us with a lovely individualized tray of snacks and...More

  Rachelle made us so comfortable in this sweet B&B. She brought afternoon refreshments to the room, which was large and had a spa tub. The breakfast was inventive and delucious. Would certainly recommend staying there!

  My husband and I love unplugging by finding new places to experience and explore. This location is perfect! The owner personally greeted us, helped us get situated and created the most delicious breakfast delivered right to our door in the Carriage House. Stillwater has a...More

  We can really recomend a stay at this lovely b&b! The breakfast was something special, served by the nice owner of the small hotel. Our room where really magical, we have not seen anything like this before! Perhaps not so suitable for familys with small...More

  Jamie and I had a great time at the Inn. Rochelle was great and the breakfasts were really good! The rooms were cozy and the location was close to town which made it nice. We would recommend this to anyone coming to Stillwater.
