    We were greeted by a private entrance to the room and were quickly able to settle into the relaxing atmosphere provided by the beauty of our suite. There were nuts and chocolate waiting for us along with wine which made it even easier to forget the worries of the week. Another amenity not often found in a B&B was the unlimited ice machine to keep things cool as well as a very nice coffee maker. These are just a couple details that some other places don't always consider as important things for guests. It's easy to tell the Inn keepers here have had years of experience in making guests comfortable and leaving happy. Fantastic country french decor with hand painting everywhere contributed to our escape. We never slept so good and when we woke up we had a fantastic breakfast at the historic Lowell restaurant that we had heard so much about. We loved the privacy of this Inn and the flexibility to have breakfast at 10 am...we like to sleep in. Give this Inn a try, you will not be dissappointed and we will return soon when we need another stress free getaway!

    Loved the impeccable Country French flavor. Perfect setting for enjoying available DVD "Julie and Julia." Followed by perfect breakfast dining where--besides the ambiance--I enjoyed my Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce which also was a follow-up to the previous night's food flourishes of Julia Child. Add in the charm of Stillwater and its delightful places to walk, shop, dine...it doesn't get any better than this!

    The room we stayed in as a bit smaller but the space is well utilized. The Art Deco room is definitely bigger and a really great setup, we stayed in the other room. The service is very nice and friendly. It's worth noting that the owners live on the premises as well. They spent a lot of the night out so we could settle in with an empty house which was a really pleasant surprise. We enjoyed it and have recommended it to friends.

    The reviews for JM B&B were quite good so I choose it to celebrate my 17th anniversary in Stillwater. The room was smaller than I had thought from the web but met my expectations. There were refreshments, chocolate bars and nuts, even a small bottle of white wine for us with wine glasses. There was small fridge, microwave, Kresch Coffee maker and whirlpool, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that all of that. The room was tidy and clean for the most part, but we noticed the corners needed to be cleaned. Jill returned my calls and assistant Kim was very accomodating. As it says on the site, we just checked in where instructions were awaiting us. There were dvd movies available for a small flat screen, but no tv hookup or reception which I thought there would be as we like to watch some late night shows and the news (recommend a digital antennae for local stations). We had breakfast at the Lowell Inn with a voucher, and we enjoyed going there for breakfast and I appreciated the privacy. We didn't see any history about the property as we see in other B&Bs and we would have liked to learn about it. Overall it was a good experience.

    The room was very nice and very tastfuly decorated. The surrounding grounds were very nice, but their wasn't a lot of room to park your car but it was ok. They took great care in planning our stay and every thing was very well thought out. Our breakfast was at a local hotel not more then a mile away and that was superb. Thank you for letting us share our experience with you. M & J
