The Peacock Room

  We are so glad we decided to stay here! The location is perfect. We walked to dinner and had drinks on our way home. There were delicious cookies and coffee... read more and soda just outside our room. And the owner gave us a free upgrade to the St. Croix Street room upon arrival - so nice with a see through fireplace! It was also very easy to make reservations for breakfast. It has been a perfect stay for our anniversary. We would recommend it to any of our friends and family and hope to come again.

  This inn was quite nice. While many parts of it are no longer being used (e.g., no breakfast at this inn - a voucher for Lowell Inn), the room... read more itself was very nice. It was large with a comfortable bed, fireplace, and a very nice shower/tub. There was a nice coffee machine in the hallway and the owner was super friendly and supportive. The inn is a bit off the Main Street, but a super short walk to it. All-in-all we loved this B&B!

  This is the second time I've stayed here, the first in the carriage house. We loved it. It was large and beautiful, quiet and inviting. The hosts were perfect --... read more welcoming and attentive, bringing a tray of wine/juice/beer and appetizers upon our arrival. Coffee was brought to our room at 8 a.m. and a truly generous and delicious breakfast at 9:00. I would highly recommend staying here. Not much different cost than a hotel, and so much better in every way.

  The Aurora Staples Inn is a very lovely B&B. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff catered to our tastes and dietary needs. The room was filled with... read more lots of "stuff", not my taste but done tastefully. Hershey kisses were plentiful and there was a small refrigerator with soda and cold water available in the hallway.

There were a few areas I felt that they Inn fell down. First of all, I believe due to the Covid pandemic they did not clean the room each day. It would have been nice if they would have told us. Secondly, I asked if ice was available. I was told that i would have to knock on the owner's down to get a glass of ice. I would rather not have to disturb them (though they might not have considered this a bother), I would have rather had ice available in a common area. More

  Friends had recommended a visit to Stillwater in early April to launch our extended road trip west, so being our first visit, we opted for this bed and... read more breakfast. We are happy we chose Aurora Staples Inn! It's located in a lovely residential area yet conveniently close to the main shopping. Rachelle is a sweetheart of a host and we loved the added attention to food service details such as wine, cheese and fruit displayed charmingly on a tray, and her breakfast the next morning was to-die-for delicious!

  A beautiful 19th century home of architectural significance. The carriage house is renovated, but in keeping with the style of the main house. We stayed in the carriage house, which... read more boasts an enormous main room, with a king-sized bed, large hot-tub, and gas fireplace. Rachelle and Eddie are wonderful hosts. Coffee and breakfast brought right to the room!

  My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at Aurora Staples Inn and couldn't have been more pleased. We were genuinely welcomed into beautiful, comfortable accommodations. The house is... read more lovely, bed was super comfortable and having a fireplace by the jetted tub was awesome! We enjoyed being close to main street where we could shop, eat, have cocktails and walk. Thanks for helping us celebrate!

  Beautiful bed and breakfast! Perfect location for visiting Stillwater!!
Loved the giant whirlpool tub and breakfast the next morning was delicious! Cute little garden out back and it was... read more fun to hear the history of the house!

  This was our second stay at the Aurura Staples Inn. We went to Stillwater to take in the Christmas lights. This trip we stayed in the Carriage House partly because... read more of covid concern's. The Carriage House is a completely private, detached suite. Our stay was just an overnighter, but it was an outstanding stay. As before, we were greeted apon checking in with glass of wine before being shown our room. The room is spacious, comfortable and very nicely decorated. The jacuzzi, a treat after walking around town. The room is complete with a mini fridge and coffee pot, not that the coffee pot will be needed as Rachelle brings a freash pot of coffee in the morning before breakfast. Rachelle cooks the most outstanding breakfast we have ever had at a B&B! Almost too much to finish!The walk to Main Street is short and easy, even for my wife who has a bad back. I'm positive we will be staying there again next time we go to Stillwater. More

  I loved my stay at the Aurora Staples Inn.

Room: Stayed in The Giverny, which has a king-sized bed and a jacuzzi but no shower (there is a detachable... read more head for rinsing). The bed was incredibly comfortable (loved the sheets) and even my travel companion for the trip, a notoriously poor sleeper, slept well. There is a little room with a sink and toilet that is well-stocked. There was a choice of scents for the tub and we appreciated the extra touch.

House: We didn't use the common areas because of COVID. Guests have to remove shoes at the front door, as a heads up.

Location: Hilly, but walkable. There are a few restaurants a short walk away.

Breakfast: Outstanding. Breakfast was delivered to the room to account for COVID, which we appreciated. Accommodations were made for lactose-intolerance (I think we were given the vegan breakfast). There was quite the magnificent spread, and everything, especially the pumpkin custard (?) was delicious. We were thoroughly impressed and satisfied.

Would definitely recommend Aurora Staples Inn to travelers in Stillwater.

  This Inn has it all!!! Beautiful, clean, excellence to detail, wonderful host, and one of the best breakfast we've ever had....don't pass this one up!!!! We loved our stay and... read more it was a great location! Our daughter just booked after we shared our experience, and we can't wait to head back!

  Perfect little getaway for our 25th anniversary! The Carriage House was beautiful and the added privacy was very nice. Breakfast was amazing and the warm hospitality (even during... read more COVID) was exceptional! We will definitely be visiting this B&B again in the future and have already recommended it to friends and family.

  The room was comfy, the fireplace warm, the jacuzzi tub relaxing, but the real delight here is the giant platter of breakfast foods brought right to the room! There was... read more so. much. food. And it was all delicious. Rachelle and staff took all our dietary needs into consideration when crafting these exquisite breakfast trays, and we ate enough to last until dinner time.

We also appreciated Rachelle's adherence to safe Covid practices - all guests required to wear masks in the public areas, and the staff social distanced when we interacted. Whenever we needed anything (like mugs for the communal Keurig), there was always someone around to help.

And finally, the location is great, walking distance from downtown Stillwater and a couple of our favorite restaurants. More

  Beautiful house, awesome room, and within walking distance of bars and restaurants.

Breakfast was exceptional, and Rachelle and Eddie are welcoming and helpful.

  My partner and I scheduled a much needed getaway to coincide with our 4 years together. Having stayed at numerous B&Bs and many Victorians, this is the most elegant and... read more well preserved home! Rachelle welcomed us with a glass of St. Croix wine and tour of home. We stayed in the Giverny room with a very comfortable king size bed and large tub (no shower). Downtown Stillwater is very walkable and we found a restaurant with vegan options (Tilted Tiki). An unexpected Venetian gondola sunset cruise on the St. Croix river and a proposal capped off a perfect evening. The breakfast was plentiful and absolutely delicious for both the vegan and the carnivore! See photo. We plan to be back for a whole weekend next time! More

  My husband and I just returned from a two night stay at the Aurora Staples in Stillwater. We were greeted by Rachel who was the ultimate host. Our accommodation, the... read more St. Croix Suite, was tastefully appointed with modern conveniences in a Victorian setting. Linens were luxurious, the shower was warm and relaxing, the bed was perfect; but the breakfast was best of all. Delivered to our room, it was scrumptious!! Tip: bring slippers or house shoes as they ask you to remove your shoes inside the front entrance.

  My boyfriend brought me there for a birthday celebration and am very glad he chose this place! The rooms were authentic with period-style details, very clean and with a comfy... read more king-size bed and roomy hot tub. The breakfast was a serious treat! As a self-proclaimed foodie, I couldn't have asked for more delicious breakfast with quiche, potatoes, fruit, and a rich and creamy cheesecake. The owner graciously let us choose another room (if we wanted) and so we opted for the hot tub room although I'm confident that our original room would have been excellent as well. Highly recommend this inn for a special occasion or any time at all! Plan to go back for a winter weekend get away 🙂 More

We loved the privacy of the Carriage House, the beautiful space and backyard of the Inn and the delicious, filling breakfasts that Rachelle delivered to us. We will be back and I look forward to it!

Rachelle greeted us right away and made us feel comfortable and familiar with the inn. We stayed in the Riverside room and had a bottle of champagne chilling next to chocolate covered strawberries. It is a hop and a skip away from downtown where we enjoyed dinner at Lolo. The bed was honestly one of the most comfy beds we’ve ever slept on and breakfast the next morning was INCREDIBLE!

We honestly can’t say enough good things about our stay at Aurora Staples Inn and absolutely plan to make this a yearly tradition! More
