Rivertown Inn

My girlfriend and I needed a night away from our husbands and kids! I got a great deal through Crowd Cut and let me just say that what an incredible value for money! I would stay here again in a heartbeat, deal or no deal. The B&B itself was amazing, the attention to detail, the staff, the breakfast, the grounds and the room where just all top notch! Truly a wonderulf experience and we can't wait to go back with our husbands this time!

My wife and travel a fair amount. This is THE niceest B&B we have ever stayed at! We are very detail oriented people an his Inn does not disappoint!

My wife and I celebrated my birthday by staying at the Rivertown Inn last night. What a wonderful B & B (read: treasure). Two things we both noticed right away: First the Rivertown Inn is impeccably clean. And second, it's very obvious that a lot of time and effort has been invested in the decorating of this gorgeous B & B. Upon arrival, Innkeeper Marty gave us the grand tour...making us feel as if the Inn was ours for the night. Very nice touch! Last, but by far not the least, this morning Chef Ray treated 6 couples to the most fantastic "several" course breakfast. We really enjoyed how he'd explain each course in detail as the dishes were brought to our tables. Each course was a unanimous "loved it" by everyone. (Chef Ray even came out with a lit candle and then sang Happy Birthday to me with his deep, beautiful voice.) Thanks to everyone at the Rivertown Inn for a wonderful birthday celebration. A great and memorable birthday at a 5 star B &B. Dale & Julia Peterson.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Rivertown Inn. This was an amazing and beautiful place. Our favorite, though, was the private table for breakfast. The chef brought each course out to us and personallyexplained it. The food was unbelievable!!

I just hosted a yoga retreat at the inn. We were given space and quiet when needed and exceptional service. Chef created a special menu which was fresh and delicious.

For Christmas, we received a gift certificate to the Rivertown Inn. We'd been to this B&B once before and were excited to return. This time we stayed in the Lord Byron Suite for a birthday celebration. Our time at the inn was relaxing and peaceful. My husband really enjoyed playing the grand piano on the lower level. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very accommodating. It's also so conveniently located near all the downtown activities, restaurants and shopping. We wished we had more time to enjoy it all.

It's a quaint and perfect romantic getaway. Wished we would have spent more time there!

I brought my long lost love to this magical place and as she is a big fan of Jane Austin, the suprise and awe factor was over the top. Wonderful service and the entire place was a joy to explore. I was the hero in her story this week and it is all because of this magical Inn.

We spent one night at this elegant b and b. Quiet, quaint, and a beautiful setting. Food and wine was excellent. A short walk to downtown allows you to experience all Stillwater has to offer.

Gracious hostess as you enter. Good explanation of house. Wonderful breakfast with very informing chef.

My husband and I celebrated his 30th birthday at the Rivertown Inn. The Inn is beautiful and romantic. The service was wonderful. We enjoyed everything about it and only wished we could have stayed more than one night.

I thought Rivertown Inn was great! The room was enchanting, the breakfast was delightful. I would recommend this place to anyone who wanted to experience a romantic getaway.

Not sure the price is worth it, but everything was exceptional.

Their web site and all others don't do it justice - it's even more beautiful than the pictures show. The steam shower, whirlpool tub and other luxurious amenities made my wife not want to leave. The new innkeeper and the chef are both very good at their jobs and we enjoyed the fruits of their labors. The owners live a block away and pop in often to make sure that everything's just right. Our stay at the Watertown Inn was the highlight of our vacation. If you're skeptical, just go to their web site and click on the links to the magazine articles that have been written. You won't be disappointed.

My wife and I just got back from a weekend getaway at Rivertown for our anniversary and we did not want to leave. We had never heard of Rivertown Inn before planning a weekend to Stillwater. We were surprised to see that they had a 5 out of 5 rating from 119 reviews on google, so we thought we would try it. The whole experiance was amazing; the staff was eager to help in any way they could, the chef and breakfasts are amazing, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. I love the fact that it is a few blocks from downtown so you don't hear the honking, cars, etc. It's nice and relaxing after a full day of shopping downtown when you are tired and sore. We stayed in the Lord Byron suite, which has it's own A/C, fireplace, and two person jacuzzi. Can't wait to go back.

If I had any sense at all I would not tell anyone about my favorite B&B. It's my secret and I don't want it all booked up by scads of people when I need to visit it, which I do twice a year. But..pssst...I have to spill the beans, this place is to die for. The town it's in is a wonderful weekender place, shops and restaurants at every turn, antique store heaven. Stillwater is on the St. Croix river, beautiful scenery. The Rivertown Inn is by far a cherry on top of a delicious sundae. Painstakingly decorated and cared for, you will see immediately that the owners have invested much into their pride and joy, right down to selecting the most wonderful staff and chef to care for you. I'm addicted. I've stayed in nearly all of the rooms, each one a gem. Beautiful, sophisticated, more than romantic, it's a place that appeals to everyone. Many, many, of the guests are repeaters, what more do I need to say.

Excellent 1st-time B&B experience: quiet, sensual, romantic. The Innkeeper was excellent with service, introductions, and facilitating conversation among guests. Food was superb in taste and presentation. Location was much more desirable than downtown. We will be back.

We had the most wonderful experience at Rivertown Inn. We stayed in the Browning Suite. Our children gave us this gift of 2 nights for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was so very relaxing and the breakfast was fabulous. I wanted to take the chef home with me but he declined.; Elise was a wonderful host.

The literary themed rooms were fantastic. We stayed in the Agatha Christie room in the carriage house. Very romantic, set up like you were on your personal rail car on the Orient Express. The service was phenomenal, very attentive but unobtrusive. The food was great, especially the three course breakfast all with locally sourced foods. The ameneties were luxurious, the steam shower and the whirlpool bath were perfect. It was a perfect romantic weekend.

We just enjoyed our 3rd stay in less than a year, and what can we say. every room is great, the staff in incredible, the food is terrific. Rivertown is our destination when we want to get away from home for a night and feel like we traveled a long way from home. Stillwater, Mn is a great small town, lots of shops and great food. we will be back again and again anyone who hasn't been to Rivertown Inn should make a point of visiting the finest B&B around

This is not just an overnight stay, this is an experience. The "happy hour", breakfast and treats are fabulous. Our compliments to the Chef. The ambiance is incredible. The service is "five star" and throughout our stay we were made to feel comfortable and appreciated. This was our 2nd stay since last November (anniversary).

very warm and comfortable accommodations. extremely welcoming. allowed me the privacy I wanted. Immaculately clean. Old home is extremely well preserved, renovatged and decorated. Fabulous chef - breakfast was excellent. Would love to return. Enjoyed the town of Stillwater also - even in a cold January.

This was our 3rd stay at what is by far our favorite B&B. This time we stayed in the Oscar Wilde suite. It is very romantic & the bathroom was fantastic. Love the tub & steam shower! This would be a perfect room on a cool night since it has a double sided fireplace between the room & the bathroom. Breakfast was also fantastic.

We recently stayed at the Rivertown Inn in the Oscar Wilde Suite. After visiting numerous bed and breakfasts, Rivertown Inn has by far been our favorite. SERVICE: We couldn't have asked for better service from Elise. She was so welcoming and helpful - give her a raise! FOOD: Our menu consisted of muffins, strawberry and orange salad, crepe with fresh raspberry cream, egg bake with mixed mushroom, pancetta, and a saffron cream sauce. Unique and delicious! The chef was even willing to create a spin off of his egg bake for us, as we do not like mushrooms. ROOM: The Oscar Wild Suite is perfection. Romantic, cozy, and unique. From the ridiculously comfortable bed, to the custom granite whirlpool, to the stained glass window, the attention to detail was impeccable. We did not want to leave this perfect mix of period details and modern convenience. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

My boyfriend and I recently spent a night at Rivertown Inn for our anniversary. When we arrived we were very impressed by the beautiful grounds surrounding the house and how uniquely the house/rooms were decorated. It was gorgeous! Being on a budget, we could not afford one of the more expensive rooms (we stayed in the Lewis Carroll suite). However, I was very impressed with our room and how it was decorated. It was the perfect amount of space for us. The cocktail hour from 5-6 was great, lovely cheese, sausage and cracker spread. The breakfast the next morning was amazing! All the courses were so unique and delicious. Also, the inn is just a few blocks from downtown Stillwater and close to many restaurants. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone! Candace Knight and James Spiegel

We just celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary with a two-night stay in the Oscar Wilde Suite. We could not have been more impressed with how beautiful and luxurious our room was. I have read reviews about the price but trust me - it is worth every single penny! The staff was wonderful! Very accommodating and polite. Everyone went above and beyond in order to make this trip a wonderful experience! You won't regret a stay at the Rivertown Inn!

We decided to get away from work and the boys for 24 hours. We decided to splurge and spend a night in the Oscar Wilde suite. Quite literally I have never been in more luxurious accommodations. The Bedroom and sitting room had an incredibly rich and warm feel. Dark wood and a beautiful color scheme. We walked to a wine bar but came back as soon as we could so we could experience the room. It sounds silly saying this but the bathroom was incredible. It has a skylight over the hot-tub, a fireplace, a walk-in fully enclosed steam room/shower/rainfall shower. I want one in my house!!!

I needed a relaxing getaway from a stressful week. The Rivertown Inn provided the ultimate in luxury and hospitality bar none. The room was charming and had an awesome whirpool jet tub, with complimentary bath amenities that were heavenly. The canopy bed was super cozy and comfortable for a wonderful night's sleep. They had a yummy social hour from 5-6 pm with complimentary wine, cheeses, crackers, and meats. The breakfast the next morning was a 3 course gourmet feast to die for. The staff and owners were so welcoming and friendly and accomodating I felt like I was home. I almost hate to share this secret of this wonderful B & B with anyone else. The only regret I have is not being there with "someone special" because it is a super romantic place. I will definitely go back again!

What an incredible place! Mary took wonderful care of us. The Inn is well furnished & immaculate. Ray the chef is incredible. The town of Stillwater is beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend this Inn.

We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to return! The staff is very helpful and it's such an inviting atmophere. Highly recommended!

We have stayed in the Oscar Wilde Suite twice last year.Wonderful room,wine and hors d'oeuvres around 5pm and a three-course breakfast in the morning. Very accommodating to our dietary restrictions. Unfortunately, at 325.00 a night, it's no longer a luxury we can afford. One day again, maybe...

The room we had was great, very clean and warm. The food was good and the chief was fun. we spent one night there...would have stayed for another but the rates honestly were high for an extra night. I recomended it as a birthday gift or special event.

Restful, relaxing, romantic getaway. Excellent food!

Elegant, impeccable, romantic, comfortable. Service is terrific, more like a hotel than a B&B. Great extra touches like self-service wine selection and the juice of the day. Take a cooking class if you can, we enjoyed ours immensely! The only negative I can think of is the showerhead wasn't mounted on the wall -- my 6'3" husband had a little trouble with that. :)

I needed to pick up a friend at the airport late, and Lisa was more than accommodating when the flight was late. She stayed late to check us in and ensured we were all settled. The breakfasts were fantastic, and the rooms are truly gorgeous. A beautiful inn with fantastic service!
