Editorial Review for Elephant Walk – by Gayot.com
The Scene
This lovely home was built in 1883 for the town's first jeweler. It has been lovingly restored by innkeepers Rita and John Graybill, whose love for the Far East is reflected throughout. Beautiful flower and water gardens surround the house, while inside guests will find a thought-provoking collection of antiques from Asia, as well as Europe and America.
The Details
Each of the four bedrooms is generously equipped with a double whirlpool bath, a gas fireplace and a sound system with CD player. The decor is as rich and exotic as the names of each accommodation--The Rangoon, The Raffles, The Cadiz Garden Suite and The Chiang Mai. A daily, four-course breakfast is served in the large formal dining room, and each night's stay includes a bottle of wine. In addition, complimentary champagne and alcohol-free beverages are served in the evening along with cheese and homemade crackers.

I am not one to write reviews however I think sharing my adventure is my responsibility. If you are looking for THE best of experience then this B&B take the cake. The house, Rita the owner, the rooms and all were one we will remember. I have stayed all lover the world at wonderful places but I just love this place called The Elephant Walk in Stillwater,Mn. I am an artist and color, and attention to detail is a necessity for me. The use of color and materials that you are surrounded with make this place beyond most people's experience. I also loved the breakfast...This is what one might enjoy at a five star restaurant yet you feel a sense of family here. I heard from a friend that Rita ,while living in Thailand ,had breakfast with the crowned prince every Thursday! It shows. Her stories are so much fun to listen to and I feel her motivation for this kind of service is just the expression of a great heart. If you enjoy the regular...one that you may be able to tell toa friend and they too will have had the experience then stay some where else...But if you want to share a tale of your adventure then go to the Elephant Walk. Each room invited me to stay...I will enjoy my next stay in the room where I can sit in the whirlpool shares a wall with the aquarium. No where is it written that a B&B owner needs to offer such quality. The duvet cover in my room was a hand tailored 4 ply hand woven silk in the most beautiful green color. It was a wonderful time only spoiled by the limit of a 2 night stay.

This was our first trip to Stillwater. We stayed in the Rangoon room, very cozy. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Loved the homemade crackers, cheese, fruit and wine left for us in our room. Fabulous breakfast and Rita was very kind and insisted on waiting on us. This B&B is not what you would expect in MN. Decorated with art and objects from Thailand. Lots to look at! We would recommend a stay at this B&B.
