Another of Stillwater’s gorgeous Victorian homes, with magnificent views of the St. Croix River Valley.
The former home of Lumber Baron William Sauntry is a beautiful B&B today.
This 1883 Victorian manor home is now the Rivertown B&B, the largest in Stillwater.
The Aurora Staples Inn was built in 1892 for the daughter of lumber baron, banker and farmer Isaac Staples.
This mansion’s history is as colorful as the estate! It was built by Edwin Hersey, a rival of lumberman Jacob Bean’s. How the home ended up with the Bean family is something of a mystery.
