We stayed two nights at the Aurora Staples Inn recently because we needed to be in the area for medical appointments. Cathy warmly welcomed us, provided generously for us in many thoughtful ways, and we loved staying here. The food was delicious, the inn was quiet and the bed was supremely comfortable, and the fireplace in our room (Giverny) was... More

Thank you so much Julie, It was great getting to know you and your friends. We'll be praying for you on the 10th, but let us know if the husbands need a place to sleep. Our home is always open to you. Bless you, Cathy and Jerry More

Well appointed property within easy walking distance to historic Main Street in Stillwater. Quiet and comfortable with an amazing breakfast each morning. Gracious hosts made our stay special. We stayed in the St. Croix Suite. There was a nice view of the river.

The Aurora Staples B&B is a wonderful oasis in the heart of Stillwater. The rooms are beautiful, well decorated, the beds are super comfortable, and the evening wine and hors d'oeuvres is a very nice, get acquainted time. We had the St. Croix Suite this time and loved it. The fireplace is warm and welcoming, and we loved the jacuzzi... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in the carriage house (separated from the main house) for new year's eve and although it was freezing outside we had a great time. It's a wonderfully romantic spot with nothing but charm. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, they would bring evening wine and morning tea straight to our door. The breakfast in... More

We were warmly greeted, offered hors d'oeuvres and wine by the fire, showed around, and welcomed to our stay in the carriage house. The house is immaculate, the owners kind, service great, and the food delicious. We were very well taken care of from check in to check out. If you're interested in the history of the house and the... More

We arrived in the middle of a 15-inch snow storm, and were warmly greeted by Cathy and Jerry. After showing us to our room, we were offered wine and appetizers in the library, in front of a cozy fire. The Christmas decorations in the house were very nice and complemented the beautiful woodwork in the home. The early coffee/tea delivered... More

Marilyn. It's always nice to see you, and it was great to meet your daughter. Thank you for your kind words in writing the review. I shared part of this with the other B&B's, as they always like getting a response on how people feel about the tea. Thank you again, and I hope you'll visit again soon. Cathy and... More

If you are looking for a B&B that takes you back in time and has a "feel" of the historic victorian era this is your B&B. The inside is just stunning, with the decor, furniture and plenty of historic reads and information on the history of the house. If you are like me, and you just relish knowing all the... More

We spent the night for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The room was great with a porch swing and a peekaboo view of the river. The innkeepers accomodated my gluten allergy with great food and no fuss. We'd go back and will recommend to friends.
