the rivertown inn

A couple of weekends ago, Peter and I were able to celebrate our 5th Anniversary in luxury, and I only write of it here in order that one does not pass it up if the opportunity were to present itself to stay in this incredible Bed & Breakfast. Located in Stillwater, the Rivertown Inn is a luxurious retreat with exquisite decor, great food and service, and perfect attention to detail. I don't believe I would typically be a fan of B&B's on any level, but I cannot wait until we can return again in the near future.

We were fortunate enough to stay in the Oscar Wilde Carriage House Grand Suite, a room I had been eyeing for quite some time, as it happened to become available after having been booked for weeks straight. This "avant-garde and wildly romantic two-room suite celebrates the lavish style of the flamboyant writer. The main sleeping chamber features a pentagonal bed draped in richly-colored fabrics, an ornate Victorian fireplace mantel, and a cozy sitting area in front of the fire. Stained glass doors lead into the second sleeping chamber, which features a unique bronze-trimmed twin French sleigh bed topped with tasseled leopard print pillows, and soothing deep green walls. This suite features two private (spa) baths for a feeling of pure opulence." Words do not do it justice. Though both carriage house suites were spectacular, all of the rooms in the main house were beautiful, as well; all decorated in the spirit of 19th century poets.

All this to say get there if you are able...

...No, seriously...
