About this cottage rental

The Estate of James Mulvey has graced historic Stillwater for 133 years. Located on an acre campus overlooking a ravine on Stillwater’s south hill area, walking distance from downtown, the Italianate stone Carriage House has welcomed guests to a historic inn experience for over 20 years. Built originally to house the Mulvey’s collection of carriages and fine horses; later made into a home and gifted to his daughter for her wedding. Today the Carriage House has been beautifully renovated to resemble an English cottage in the Cotswolds, complete with a traditional gourmet kitchen, rustic beams, and French doors that cascade out to a balcony overlooking the ravine and the private pool. The rooms are each thematically inspired by everything from the French wine country, to the roaring 20s, and even an ode to the original horse stables in the lower level farmhouse. The upstairs rooms (Art Deco and Bourdeaux suites) each have their own private bathroom, jet tub, fireplace, and a balcony overlooking the landscape. The lower-level Farmhouse suite is its own separate quarters that house one queen bed and an air mattress; complete with a living area that walks out to the backyard pool, a kitchenette, a private bedroom, and a spacious private bathroom with a luxury shower. Experience a European getaway, just blocks away from the historic downtown Stillwater. https://youtu.be/Udnx8X1ZmI4 - Check-in is any time after 4 pm. There is no in-person check-in. - Check-out is at 11 am - A maximum of 12 people and 5 cars are allowed on the property. Must park in one of the off-street parking spots available. On-street parking on Harriet Street is not allowed for you or visitors at any time during your stay. - When the season permits, the pool is very refreshing and we recommend you enjoy it! There is a skim cleaner “bot” (we call Betty Bot”) that is always cleaning the top of the pool. You can take her out and turn it “off” if you want to swim without her in there. Please just make sure to turn her back on and place her back in the pool when done using. - The hot tub is available year-round. - We only provide a few pool-specific towels and we appreciate it if you do not use bath towels outdoors. So, if you plan to use the pool and have several guests, please bring pool towels with you when you travel. - No pets allowed Upon booking, you'll receive a link to our James Mulvey Inn guest page, there you’ll find informational videos and updates about the property. Also, you are welcome to share any of your favorite memories or photos here as well.

Carriage house was charming & an experience we will remember forever. We stayed for our wedding weekend. It was absolutely perfect. The only thing we’d change is the high amount of cameras made us feel like an extreme invasion of our privacy. We felt like every move was being watched - which depleted our infancy of the wedding weekend stay together as a newly married couple. Besides that we had an amazing experience. Thank you.

The house was perfect. It was an enchanting little get away. The house was roomy, yet cozy. Great for staying in-coking at home, playing games, watching movies, yet close enough to downtown to experience the daytime shopping- restaurants and bars- and night life. Being outside, was like a fairytale. We spent time in the hot tub and pool- and took a lot of pics. I would highly recommend.

Having lived in Cornwall, England, we felt liked we’d been whisked away to England. The home is so incredibly charming. It was the perfect base camp for our family.

We had a fun time at this unique, charming property. We were a bit surprised to learn that the 2nd queen bed in the farmhouse suite was an air mattress but it all worked out ok.

Stayed in mid August for 4 nights. Visiting friends around the Twin Cities. This house is about 30 minutes from both spots so was perfect for us. The home is amazing. Well stocked amd clean. The kids loved the swimming pool and we used it whenever we were at the house. Even hosted some old friends and their kids one evening and everyone just swam and played. Property is on a dead end street bordered by woods on one side. Very quiet. Property managers were easy to communicate with and responded promptly the one time we had a question. It is a great summer rental but now we want to come back and stay in the winter!!! Such a cozy and inviting place. The pictures are 100% accurate. No surprises. This historic home exceeded our expectations! Thank you!
