    Cupcakes in room for my birthday
    Meredith R.

    Wow. This place is a gem! I'm so glad my husband brought me hear for my birthday. We stayed in the Oscar Wilde suite which was luxurious and romantic. Almost all of the lights were on dimmers that you could adjust (very wonderful). The toilet was in it's own room and the bathtub was huge. The bed was a big crazy (angled), but definitely unique and fun. Also, my husband informed them it was my birthday and we received complimentary cupcakes which where waiting under perfect little domes for us in our room. At the social hour (where there is wine and appetizers), the manager was kind enough to come over and open a bottle of cider for me as he'd noticed in our reservations that I'm currently pregnant. This was a very kind touch and it was much appreciated. The breakfast was amazing! We had a three course meal consisting of a Quinoa Oat Cranberry Muffin with fruit and yogurt (my favorite), Blueberry Pancakes, and Frittata. It was brought out to us on the porch course by course. The inn is easily in walking distance of downtown Stillwater, so it was only maybe a 7 minute walk to get to the restaurants down there for dinner. If I had any complaints at all, it would be that the house across the street has about 8-10 chairs that face the inn and seemed to almost constantly be filled with men sitting in them and staring out at the inn. Not sure what was going on over there, but it was odd and a bit eerie. I don't fault the inn for this as you can't exactly choose your neighbors, but it's just something I noticed.

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.

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.

(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.

They provided a sandwich buffet where there were lots of fresh sandwich toppings and a variety of breads. A huge highlight was the chicken wild rice soup. Staff were excellent. They had several servers providing drinks and cleaning dishes. So helpful and kind. The room worked well for the presentation, no issues with tech and the room was small enough that no mic was needed. The only thing that was a little annoying was, with the restaurant next door and only folding doors separating us, we could hear some residual noise but not enough to cause issue with the presenter. I liked the vibe here and would like to stay a night and check it out in the future.

The hallways are reminiscent of the past and remind me often of the Titanic and the dining rooms have an old elegant charm. There are fresh baked cookies upon check in and there are brochures for all the activities for you to do in Stillwater. The rooms are always comfortable and clean and some have even had famous guests in the past. The Lowell Inn serves breakfast and lunch everyday and the food was phenomenal. We were offered an assortment of fresh bread. For lunch we ordered the Almond Crusted Walleye with sour cream mashed potatoes and asparagus with a lemon cream sauce. Which I will definitely be getting again! Our other order was Chicken A La King and had fresh ingredients and great flavor.

Our friends had to sleep with their winter jackets on. Beds are one of the most uncomfortable ones I have ever slept in. Three of us are vegetarian and basically the option for us was to get rice and the meat had been taken out from the dish. Not something you want to pay so much for. For our vegan friend there were no options at all. The place is dated, dirty and what you can feel everywhere is the astonishing and completely ungrounded sense of entitlement and pride that the owners project in the descriptions and policy signs they placed all over the establishment. It all happened a few years ago yet our friends and us can't stop going back in disbelief to that awful experience.
