If you enjoy a home decorated for the period, wonderful large whirlpool tubs, delicious food prepared by a professional chef, you'll love this place. Also be sure to check their website or ask them about the deal with Domacin Wine Bar/Eatery. The sample package was fantastic and is only offered at that price to the Rivertown B & B guests.... More

I cannot add much to the other reviews, but this is a great place to stay! We went back for a second visit recently and again loved chef Ray's breakfasts along with the relaxing ambiance of this wonderful home. Stillwater is a fun place to visit for those of us from the Twin Cities, however, I recommend this BnB for... More

I second all the five star reviews! This was such a fun little getaway, and the details of the themed rooms were great. I spent one night in the Lewis Carroll Suite because I got a good deal online and would definitely go back and pay full price. The cocktail hour was a nice way to start the evening, the... More

We stayed at the Rivertown Inn for a surprise birthday vacation for my boyfriend. I was nervous that a B&B wouldn't be his style, but once we stepped into the place we were in love! Unlike like many of the B&B's I saw while looking for a vacation spot, the Rivertown had real STYLE. The craftsmanship in everything from the... More

My husband and I stayed at the Rivertown Inn the end of January. I was excited when we drove up the hill and saw the property. Very elegant - I can imagine how beautiful the grounds and garden would be in the spring and summer. Our room was the Browning Suite - it was lovely. The antiques and furnishings were... More

The Rivertown Inn is gorgeous, well maintained, and serves delicious breakfasts. We were so disappointed to find that they did not do anything at all special for our very expensive Valentine's overnight there. I normally bring some flowers, candy, snacks, and wine to B&Bs, but mistakenly left them at home thinking they would certainly be a place that would provide... More

A friend of ours suggested we stay at the Rivertown Inn years ago. Since then, my husband and I have never stayed anywhere other than this lovely Stillwater gem. The author-inspired rooms are opulent and luxurious. The Agatha Christie Suite is our very favorite but the suites are all lovely. From the welcome event of wine and cheese through our... More

We spent two nights at the Rivertown Inn and were very impressed with the staff and service. The social hour and gourmet breakfast could not be topped! The staff was friendly and very helpful with giving recommendations of local restaurants and activites in the area. Overall, a very delightful winter weekend in Stillwater Minnesota!

Just got home and still talking about the great time. We stayed in the Browning Suite. The house is so beautifully decorated. Not your typical purple and pink flowers with doilies. This was so rich and tasteful with dark wood and stained glass everywhere. The food was delicious and we took the cooking class with Chef Ray. Well worth the... More

This is a beautifully restored and maintained historic house, with upgrades done so skillfully that they hardly show. It is large, and furnished with antiques. Each room has a literary theme. No flowery wallpaper, potpourri, or creepy dolls anywhere. Lovely happy hour in the afternoon, with wine and antipasta. Wonderful overnight stay for couples!
