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.

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.

The property was perfect for our family. We had a bedroom and bathroom for each couple with a suite for my daughter’s family. The kitchen and dining area is large enough for preparing and enjoying meals together as well as space for playing games together.

We loved this home! It was spotless, the living spaces and beds were comfortable, the kitchen nicely stocked and the carriage house was so charming. Two blocks from a beautiful old park and a mile walk into town (steep hill returning home!)
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Beautiful property enjoyed the outdoors. Everything was very clean included fresh bedding, extra blankets and plenty of towels. We loved the eclectic decor. The Hot tub was not very warm it only got to 94 degrees but we were still able to use it. I think you need to tell guests about the staircase’s in the home some people cannot get up and down easily. I thought the amenities mentioned a coffee grinder that we could not find. I just wanted to pass this onto you for your consideration. Nevertheless we all had a most enjoyable time and will let others know about your rental. Thank you for everything!! Jane
