William Sauntry Mansion

Phenominal Place! This is one of those rare moments when a five star rating is not enough. It would rate it so much higher than many of my other five stars because of the unbelieable hosts, delicious breakfast, clean rooms, super comfortable bedding, and breathtaking rooms. 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.

I only need to say one five star thing. THEY SERVE ICE CREAM with breakfast!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 bedroomsIt'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.

Add 1 more 5 star review. What a fantastic 2 day anniversary/valentines stay. Get the 2 person steam sauna if you can. All the rooms looked wonderful. Unbelievable hosts. Great breakfast and wine and cheese afternoon, early evening snacks.Forget the price. It's worth it.

We just spent 3 nights here and it was amazing. We opted for the Butler's cottage. You get a private entrance and breakfast is brought to your room. It is a nice alternative to making small talk at the breakfast table when you are waiting for an ounce of caffeine to kick in. For the food, they know what they are doing. Each breakfast was a treat and you felt sad when it ended. I am not a big breakfast person but was impressed. They also offer wine, lemonade and fresh bread with a variety of spreads in the late afternoon. My only complaint is there is no tv in the room. But that seems trivial and minor to the rest of experience.

This place was super phenomenal. From the moment we walked in Tom and Sandy were so friendly and sweet. The grounds were so well kept and clean. It was absolutely stunning. The house was so beautiful. We stayed in the Madame Lafugey room. It was so clean, spacious and the bathroom was breathtaking. They had snacks set out upon our arrival. It was really delicious. The breakfast was so good! Sandy is a great cook. I'm a super picky eater and she accommodated my egg white only, low crab, health nut preferences. Both days she went above and beyond to deliver our breakfast bright and early. On the second and final day she even labeled my breakfast with my name! Her scones were delicious! We just had the best time there. We plan to go again in the summer and we will be staying here again! Thank you Sandy for making our stay in Stillwater UNFORGETTABLE!

This is the best Bed and Breakfast we have been to! We chose Stillwater as a restful place to celebrate our anniversary as well as the upcoming birth of our second child in February. We couldn't have been more delighted in the quiet, restful, beautiful attention to detail at Sauntry Mansion. A welcoming spread of wine and cheese awaited us at check-in. The Sauntry Mansion is perfectly placed just 2 mins away from downtown dining, and just far enough away to enjoy the beauty and quiet of Stillwater. We stayed in the La Fuegy Room, which was perfect for our little retreat. Between the Swedish eucalyptus steam shower (with four additional therapeutic water features) and the palatial soaking tub, we could barely tear ourselves away from our personal spa to go to dinner. Breakfast was delicious and decadent the next morning- served to our room. A recommendation would be to skip dessert the previous night. The owners were very attentive, informative and kind. Thank you so much Tom and Sandy for the restful and refreshing getaway!P.S. It is lovely not having (or hearing) TV's going. There is a TV in the game room, if needed, but not having them in the individual rooms kept the space peaceful. There is fast internet available if you want to listen to Pandora or watch Netflix.

Before becoming residents of Stillwater, my husband and I spent Valentine's night here at the William Sauntry Mansion. It was the perfect Valentines, they really pull out all the stops for that holiday weekend! Really worth the drive and price.As we checked into our room, the Madam La Fuegy Suite, there was a dozen roses and champagne waiting for us (Valentines special I think, could've been an 'extra' though). The room features a steam shower and jet tub. Nothing more relaxing than being able to melt your cares away in a steamy shower or deep jet tub. The mansion is really setup for a romantic getaway. What it did not feature was a TV but it did have Wi-Fi. Now I know the time is meant to be spent together, had we been staying more than one night I think this could have been a problem. Once in awhile, since we don't watch that much TV at home, we just want to veg-out and watch some HGTV. Like I said, it was one night so not a big deal. The hosts were gracious, attentive, but not overly in your business, if you will. They didn't 'check in on you' or really bother us at all. They hosted a cocktail hour which was outstanding. The cheese! The bread! The wine! Every corner we turned of our stay was amazing. Now that I live in Stillwater, I feel silly wanting to stay here again, haha, I wish I could though! I would recommend this to anyone wanting a weekend away in historic Stillwater.

Absolutely magical! Stayed in the Butler room and didn't want to leave. Hospitality was the very best. Thanks!!!

I travel for a living and have spent well over 1000 nights in hotels.....some very high end. None of these compare to the William Sauntry Mansion Bed and Breakfast. The property has been beautifully restored and offers a journey back in time. The common rooms are warm, comfortable and inviting, each telling its own story. We stayed in the "Ellen" bedroom which mixed old world with new, offering a sunken jacuzzi tub and fireplace in the bedroom and spacious walk in shower. Each evening you are treated to a wonderful wine and cheese reception. Breakfast is offered in your room or in the common dining area and was absolutely fresh, from scratch and delicious. I cannot say enough good things about this experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at the William Sauntry Mansion! Tom and Sandy were wonderful hosts. The house is just gorgeous, full of interesting period furniture, books, art work, etc. Our room, la Fuegy, was very comfortable. Loved the steam shower and whirlpool tub! Breakfast was delicious...and the coffee was plentiful. We will surely recommend this B&B to our friends and family.
