Ann Bean Mansion is an adults-oriented bed and breakfast in a fully restored Victorian mansion at 319 Pine Street West, on the residential hillside above downtown Stillwater. It draws couples looking for a quiet, romantic escape with historic character and a short walk to the St. Croix River.
The house dates to Stillwater’s lumber-boom era, and its restoration keeps period details while adding modern comforts. Every room has a king bed, a seasonal fireplace, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, and a tub for two. Some bathrooms also have heated floors (Explore Minnesota). Fine linens and luxury bath amenities come standard. Mornings center on an artisan-made breakfast (Ann Bean Mansion). For a special occasion, the inn has partnered with Domacin Restaurant & Wine Bar on a four-course dinner with paired wines (FindGlocal).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
The inn welcomes guests ages 10 and older, so plan accordingly if traveling with kids (VenueConnect). Peak demand runs on summer and fall weekends, when Stillwater’s riverfront and fall colors fill rooms fast. Book weeks ahead for October dates. Midweek winter stays are quieter and make good use of the fireplaces. The mansion sits on a hill, and the walk down to Main Street’s antique shops, restaurants, and the historic Lift Bridge is easy. The climb back up is steeper. Check current rates and packages on the official website.
