    My mom and I chose the Aurora Staples Inn because the home had once belonged to her great aunt, Aurora. It is beautifully decorated and maintained, and Cathy was very conversant with the history of the building. Easy walking distance to much of Stillwater; excellent breakfasts perfectly served and all in all a restful and beautiful place to stay. We'd definitely stay there again if we return to Stillwater.

    Great annivesary getaway!

    My husband surprised me with a night at ASI for our anniversary. Our room (the St. Croix Suite) was darling and had a fireplace, whirlpool tub, and antique pieces with significance to the home's past. Cathy was very friendly and welcoming without being too "in your face". We loved the delicious breakfast! There were many little touches along the way that made us really enjoy staying at a B&B. No Holiday Inn I know of gives you wine and snacks when you check in or has a bowl of Hershey kisses in your room. :-) Two thumbs up!

    AMAZING!

    This place exceeded our expectations! Breakfast was delicious, our room was beautiful and the owners couldn't have been more pleasant. We couldn't have been happier with our choice!

    From the moment we began booking our stay Cathy treated us like royalty. We wanted a place to celebrate our 5th Anniversary and Cathy went out of her way almost a year in advance to make our Feb. 18th stay special. The rooms were beautiful, clean and inviting. We loved the St. Croix suite and would go back in a heart beat. The food was awesome and the Inn Keepers perfect!!!! Thanks Helen & Kevin

    A real jewel!

    We enjoyed the St. Croix Suite. The room was huge. Although the bed is just a double it was special to know that it belonged to the original owner. Cathy anticipated our every need. It was all the little extras that made it special. The meal was not run-of-the-mill. The place was beautifully decorated for the holidays.
