5 out of 5Quaint and wonderful B&B experience
May 22, 2012
The James Mulvey Inn Carriage House was a wonderful and relaxing experience. We stayed in the Bordeaux room and it was as if we stepped back in time to the south of France – my personal favorite. The décor was simple françaises (simple french) overlooking the grounds from our balcony. We were quite cozy sitting next to a warm fire with our wine and snacks we kept in the small refrigerator provided in the room. The breakfast at the Lowell Inn was delicious and afterwards we wondered the streets of historic downtown Stillwater which is always a treat. Our hosts, True and Jill, were delightful people and we hope to visit again very soon. Thank you for such a perfect weekend!

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our one-year anniversary in Stillwater, which is just 45 minutes away from where we live. The stay at James Mulvey's house made us feel like we had traveled across the country for a two-day vacation! It was an adorable room with a jetted tub, great views of the garden, a romantic fireplace with wine and chocolates, and just an overall "quaint" feel to the room. We couldn't have asked for anything better! In fact, we may celebrate many more anniversaries at the James Mulvey home.
5 out of 5A Sophisticated Getaway!

Staying in the Art Deco suite of the James Mulvey Englishman's Carriage House is always a unique experience, and this was not our first stay at this favorite place of ours. True and Jill are art collectors and consummate decorators, and they’ve created an elegant retreat. Walking into the suite feels like stepping back into the 30’s as you are enveloped in the warm and sensuous art deco décor. Abundant wall art—some of which is absolutely stunning—fixtures, and many other little details create a perfect experience. Really, the attention to detail is amazing. We also love the unique hotel-like independence (no sense of stepping into someone else’s home) along with the Bed and Breakfast coziness and luxury. Breakfast at the Lowell Inn is a delightful variation on the usual B&B routine as well. Thanks True and Jill for creating the perfect place to enjoy the distinctive pleasures of old Stillwater! We’ll be back!

The James Mulvey Inn is a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of our city life of raising children, jobs, and busy, busy busy calendars. Located in a residential area of Stillwater yet very close to all the wonderful restaurants and cozy shops, this 2 bedroom option Bed and Breakfast is exactly what we needed. The rooms are wonderful, quaint and very private. The fireplaces and views are spectacular. In addition, what we actually loved was that no breakfast is served on the premises. To some, this may seem like not desirable, but for my wife and I, getting a private breakfast at the wonderful and historic Lowell Inn (that was included in the price of our stay at The Mulvey Inn) was the perfect way to reignite our love and friendship in our get-away. We highly recommend this Inn! By the way, we think Marx is just a divine place to have dinner as well!

A dramatic carved wood and art tile fireplace elegantly marks the apex of this room in which 120 year old rustic beams and fine silk fabrics reflect the ambience of rural French life. Rest in the rare Wedding Ring bed or unwind in the double whirlpool tub. You will find the beauty outside is reflected inside this spacious suite. Radiant light streams through the french doors from the serenade balcony and meets the reflections from the skylight over the bed. Here you will discover why painters were so frequently drawn to the French countryside.

4.8 out of 5Lovely, private, European Style B&B
March 17, 2012
Jill and Truett have done a fantastic job of making guests feel welcome in this lovely old but well maintained house. The room has an old fashioned feel to it, with tasteful, turn-of-the-century decorations and some lovely amenities and refreshments. Breakfast at the Lowell Inn completes the package nicely. While making you feel welcome, the setup also respects the privacy of couples looking for a romantic getaway. Will definitely come back.

4.8 out of 5Quiet, Relaxing, and Fun!
February 22, 2012
I surprised my wife with a night at the James Mulvey Englishman's Carriage House to celebrate her birthday. We had a blast! It was really nice and a steal for the price. It was peaceful and quiet and we were able to really dial down and relax. We watched some movies that were available and spent quite a bit of time in the double whirlpool. It felt like we were the only ones there and it was great that when we got there we could just walk up to our room and get instructions instead of needing to make small talk with the owners. It really felt like it was all about us. Breakfast at the Lowell Inn was delicious too!! My wife LOVED spending the night here before her birthday and said it was a great surprise!
5 out of 5Beautiful Room and Relaxing Stay
February 09, 2012
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!
