About this property

Historic James Mulvey Carriage house (Whole house)

  • 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.

    - 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
