Walk around the corner to get beef stroganoff at hilariously snooty but tasty Russian place .

While the house itself was pretty, that was the only positive aspect of my stay. The rooms were…read moremuch smaller than they appeared online, and there were cobwebs in several areas of the home. Overall, the experience was not worth the $250 per night price. Breakfast was served at 9:00 AM, and when I arrived, there was only a single plate of food prepared specifically for me. It appeared to have already been made and needed to be reheated. There were no additional options available, such as fruit, muffins, or other choices. I was not informed in advance that 9:00 AM was the only time breakfast would be served or that there would be no alternatives. For the price, this location did not meet expectations. I would not return and would not recommend it to others. You can spend your money elsewhere and have a much better experience.

RUN DOWN B & B. It's been five years since my husband and I stayed at the Covington Inn. Sadly, the…read moreB & B is showing its age and neglect. We roomed in the Pilot House Suite. There was one lightbulb burnt out in our room and three lightbulbs burnt out in the bathroom. The panel covering the bathroom sink bottom had fallen off. The towels were cheap white fabric and not classy. One of the bannisters on the spiral staircase rail was loose and wobbly that could cause a tripping accident. There were lots of spider webs on the boat's exterior and a stain on the cushion of a deck chair. Breakfast was almost inedible because the hash browns and mini quiches were blackened and burnt. Skip the breakfast! The cabins are still unique, but be aware to arrive with low expectations as far as being a guest-ready B & B.

I've tried to get Yelp to indicate "permanently closed," but the listing is still up. Too bad, because back in the day, this was a sweet and charming place to stay.

Phenominal Place! This is one of those rare moments when a five star rating is not enough. It…read morewould rate it so much higher than many of my other five stars because of the unbelieable hosts, delicious breakfast, clean rooms, super comfortable bedding, and breathtaking rooms. Unbelievable! This place is well worth the price. The private bathrooms are spectacular. Between the eucalyptus steam shower with a myriad of water features and the jacuzzi type soaking tub, we could barely tear ourselves away from our personal spa time to go to dinner. We love the fact they have no tv's in the rooms but an awesome speaker/disc system for music of your choice and a refrigerator full of drinks. They had snacks available upon our check in and I would highly recommend the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies for an additional $5 - YUM! The best part of our moring was the delicious breakfast served right to your room. OH My! We loved our breakfast (see picture) and the homemade scones were SO good. We came here to celebrate our 29th Anniversary in February and we weill be back for a summer visit and of course, many more anniversaries. This place made our anniversary special. Thank you Tom and Sandy.

I only need to say one five star thing. THEY SERVE ICE CREAM with breakfast!…read more Well, we've only stayed in five or six bed and breakfasts (mostly in Maine or New Hampshire) but this is (without a doubt) our favorite. The Mansion is beautiful, a real mix of old and new.. so you get history.. but still really nice bathrooms and big bedrooms It's about three blocks further than the other highly rated one in town and well worth the extra travel. We were greeted by our gracious hosts, Tom and Sandy. We made it just in time for the afternoon snack.. you know.. wine, cheese etc... with time to enjoy the large veranda. In fact, we were there for three nights and made extensive use of the veranda.. at breakfast, in the afternoon and in the evening. Tom and Sandy are good about seating you with people that are a good match.. or if you prefer.. alone.. there is plenty of space. You can even have food delivered to your room. We played croquet on the grounds (yes, they have ample parking, gorgeous landscaping, a fountain and a place to play croquet) it was fun, but when my wife kept beating me I decided it was time to try something else. (I grew up in the city, what do I know about croquet?) Back to the breakfast thing.. one day the whole area suffered a power outage so they fired up the grill and cooked us our breakfast. No big deal, it was excellent. We stayed in the Joseph room, but were able to view all except one and they were all very nice. We had a King sized bed (super comfortable) and an oversized bathroom.. a big tub with jets and a shower that I needed the instructions (laminated) to use.. so many sprayers. As we spoke with the other guests.. we were all in agreement that this is a really remarkable Bed and Breakfast. Tom and Sandy's labor of love really shines. A great value.

Perfect place with great restaurants/ cocktail bars and things to do. Not to mention the Rivertown Inn! It's been a few years since we've stayed here and we opted for the Oscar Wilde room. We will be back to stay here again! The others rooms we've stayed at in the past have also been beautiful, but this one takes the cake! Another perk to this place is the breakfast made by their phenomenal vegan chef. I don't eat pork and she whips up an awesome meal that makes me wish she could cook for me daily. I could easily be vegan with her help! The staff or caregivers that help us each time or super helpful and make our stay even better. Thanks again for another visit and we will be back!

The good: -Jacuzzi tub…read more-Availability (hard to find a B&B in Stillwater) -Free parking -Quiet location -Lovely bottle of wine in the room, coffee, beverages -Gas fireplace was a nice touch The bad: -Breakfast was offsite at the Lowell Inn and it was terrible! (Not the fault of the B&B of course but we expected breakfast to be at the house like every other B&B we have stayed at. Plus, when paying a lot for a room you expect a nice breakfast. It was low-end greasy-spoon diner quality at best). -The decor left something to be desired. A lot of mismatched items, overly decorated, old carpet that screamed 1980s/1990s. The photos felt misleading and the room did not live up to the pictures. -Outdated bedding that felt like it from from last century (or my grandma's house?) -Price: paid over $250 for one night. We could have gotten much more for less and that was disappointing. I agree with another reviewer that the owners need to visit other establishments to update the B&B and what they offer, otherwise lower the prices significantly. I have been to much nicer B&Bs for a much lower price. Just trying to be honest about what to expect, I really wanted to love this place.

When we entered our room there was classical music playing-a VERY nice touch! A half bottle of wine from the Stillwater st Croix vineyards was waiting for us, another plus. The jacuzzi was wonderful, balcony private, and the outdoor pool was also a lot of fun. Breakfast at the Lowell inn was incredible. The one and only thing that I would change is that there's no room temp control and we both found it a little warm, but the owner was very kind and had it turned down a few degrees for us. We'll definitely be back.

I have been vacillating on whether or not to post a review on this Air BNB. But I don't want…read moreanother group to purchase this space for over 5000 a weekend and have a repeated experience. The space is wild and interesting at face value. the air bnb host was easy to get a hold of and very friendly, but the space was disgusting and it felt insulting to be charged such a large amount for the stay. There are no amenities. Many posted are not available- the little amount available were very underwhelming, I would even describe as sad and disappointing. The house is full of shit- every space, drawer, cabinet, closet- packed full of items from the host. Be prepared to just have to leave all your belongings piled on the floor for the stay. Upstairs we found a mini fridge taped closed with one strip of scotch tape- this was full of molding old food- extreme health hazard- thank god we did not have any kids with exploring that could have gotten in to it. Outside had trash, stained sitting areas, dirty, buckets and containers of standing d water- the space was not clean. The post advertised a workout room and pool- there are neither- just no exercise room or equipment- and an empty filthy pool- not even covered or cleaned. It was hard to look at. I'm going to repeat that we were charged 5,000 dollars for 2 nights for 13 individuals- 3 of the 7 beds were mattresses on the floor. Kitchen is filled with shit- On day of arrival we were informed the oven didn't work, and we quickly found out the garbage disposal was also not functions which resulted in a plugged sink for our stay. The fridge and every cupboards was filled with food. There was no space to keep food for our 13 guests- we had to store in our own coolers The advertised queen bed in the main room was two small mattresses pushed together. The pink princess room advertised working shower and toilet- the shower is blocked off by a desk and hidden- closed off- not working. None of the electronics were set up to function- half didn't function- one didn't even reach a plug in. This place is not advertised correctly- we all felt swindled. This is not a luxury stay. Would not even pay 500 for the housing. DO NOT BOOK. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED- even confused by the level of filth and straight lying about stay and amenities. 2500 a night is insulting- If there is any way for a refund in any forms it is ask for any money back, you do not get anything close to what is advertised.
