Owners Jeff and Julie Anderson purchased the Rivertown Inn in 1999 with a vision of reviving this architectural treasure and reinstating its place as a landmark property in the charming riverside community of Stillwater.

Inspired by their passion for fine antiques, gourmet food and wine, historic preservation, music, gardening and literature, the Andersons have lovingly and meticulously restored the Rivertown Inn to its original grandeur while retaining its Victorian charm and elegance.

The Andersons invite you to experience the romance and luxury among the architectural delights of the Rivertown Inn.

While staying at Rivertown Inn, your daily comforts and needs will be under the skillful direction and watchful eye of innkeeper Lisa Lothson. Lisa's zest for excellence is to see that every detail is attended to and every request is heard.

The experience and passion that Lisa brings to the Rivertown Inn is kindled by the thirteen years she spent working in the travel industry, exclusively catering to the needs of the luxury market, as well as leading tours to Europe.

Lisa's talent in providing memorable experiences is also the result of her tenure as a private dining coordinator at one of the area's premier restaurants.

Chef Ray Wyatt was born and raised in Hastings, England. There he attended culinary school at the age of 15, after which he worked in various four-star hotels in England. At 19, Chef Ray moved to Denmark where he discovered true culinary art. He spent six years in Denmark learning fine cuisine and the Danish language, and in 1999 left for Australia where he spent one year working and traveling. In 2001, Chef Ray moved to Minnesota to be with his wife, and has made Minnesota his home. His cuisine can be described as French classic with Mediterranean influence.

We are thrilled to have Ray on board preparing sumptuous three-course breakfasts for guests and offering special event fine dining. He is a master chef whose culinary artistry is both inventive and flavorful.
