The Giverny

  We stopped here in early Sept to check out Stillwater on our way to a wedding . The inn was a quintessential charming B&B. Rachelle, the innkeeper, was very friendly;... read more greeted us when we arrived offering a glass of wine, and gave us the quick tour/history. We got upgraded to a nice room with a fireplace because it was a weekday and there were some open rooms. After delivering coffee to our room in the morning, Rachelle served a breakfast feast of fruits, waffles and desert! The location is perfect for exploring Stillwater; a quiet neighborhood just a 5 minute walk from the main action area.

  We loved our stay in this Inn - clean, comfortable, wonderful service and unique breakfast. Loved the craftsmanship and woodwork detail of the inn, with inlaid hardwood floors, and original... read more pocket doors.

Our host prepared a delicious breakfast - strawberry “soup”, baked French toast, and fruit gelato. We enjoyed meeting 2 other guests at breakfast, one of the perks of staying in a bed and breakfast. We highly recommend this Inn.

The inn is right next to the Carnegie Library, a must-see. We were awed by the size and architectural detail of this magnificent library. The other historical buildings are within walking distance, and Main Street is just a couple of blocks away. Loved Stillwater, and we hope to visit again. More

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!
