My husband and I stayed two nights in May and were very happy with the Staples Inn. Cathy was a wonderful hostess and the breakfasts were delicious. Just the right amount of food. Visiting with the other guests is informative and fun. We had the Riverview Room which suited us as it has a swing on the porch part of... More

My husband and I took my Mother on a little "getaway", and ended up in beautiful Stillwater...Called the Aurora Staples Inn from the car outside the Inn to check availability for that evening...We were so excited when we heard they only had two rooms left! We reserved them both right away! This Victorian Home is gorgeous, very clean, and comfortable,... More

My wife and I stayed a Thursday night to celebrate a birthday. During Christmas 2010, my wife toured five Stillwater area B&B's as part of a Christmas Tea promotion and chose the Aurora Staples as her favorite. It must be a favorite for many because it was filled on a week night in February! Our experience topped all the B&B's... More

We stayed one night at the Aurora Staples, and found it to be a very average b&b with a few curious details. First of all, this Victorian home is stunningly beautiful from the outside, very inviting and warm looking. We were greeted at the (locked) door by the proprietor, shown around briefly, and offered wine and cheese. As it was... More

We recently stayed at Aurora Staples to celebrate our 4th anniversary. The home is charming and cozy - exactly what you'd want in a B&B! Our room was very nice and we greatly enjoyed the whirlpool tub and fireplace. It's impossible not to fall into a relaxed stated when you enter the Inn. The breakfast with shared with 6 others...

We visited the Aurora Staples in for our 2nd Anniversary, and my husband's first experience with a B&B. The hostess was very sweet & helpful, and the accomodations were great. We have no complaints, the breakfast was good, the room clean & the guests we share breakfast with interesting! My husband enjoyed it a lot more than he thought he... More

The good: the room was very pretty and had a better view than even the website let on. The hostess was kind and made useful suggestions. She is an excellent cook, breakfast was great! The bad: the bed was very loud and squeeky-not what you might want for a honeymoon. I actually felt quite awkward eating breakfast with a group... More

My wife and I live in the Twin Cities and have "escaped" to this Bed and Breakfast on numerous occassions; staying in different rooms on every occasion. Every time we have gone it was just what we needed. The rooms are private and beautiful. The beds are cozy and the whirlpools perfect. When you first arrive you are greeted at... More
