Weekend at Stillwater


Mark decided we should go to a bed and breakfast for our anniversary and birthday celebrations. He looked around and found an adorable one in Stillwater called Rivertown Inn.
On the way there, we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the fall colors and of course the "normal" sites that come along with the fall season. Fall is my favorite time of year!

We pulled up to the Inn and my mouth just dropped. It was gorgeous.


I'm so thankful to the Lord for His gift to me. Mark is such a wonderful man of God. He strives to live a Spirit-filled life and he is always a joy to be around. I'm not just saying this... It's the truth.

This is were we pulled in. Straight ahead is the coach house which had two rooms. Each of the rooms were named after different authors. 




This is inside the coach house. I believe this is "Agatha Christi"
 

This was mark's favorite room "Oscar Wilde".
 We were able to tour the rooms that were still open.

 He loved this bathroom. It had a skylight over the bath tub.
Very Elegant!

Around the Garden





I loved the curtains that were on the porch. Mark and I got to sit in these chairs while we waited to be served our 3 course French breakfast. 


This Inn was well run. The rooms were immaculate and the yard was just as great.

The dining room where we ate breakfast.

We arrived at 5:00 and they had social hour where they served meats and cheeses as well as some "other  things."

This is our room... "Lewis Carroll" author of Alice and Wonderland.
It was on the third floor. An attic room with slanted ceilings and cozy fireplace, it was the perfect little get away.


There was an Alice and Wonderland Chess set, which we enjoyed. On the mantle was the Rabbit and 
on the Mirror stand in between the windows is the mad hatter.



The Inn keeper gladly took our picture.

I highly recommend this stay!
