About Our Historic Inn

HUNT CLUB suite in carriage house (pictured above) is one of our most popular suites—available year-round, two night minimum, keyless entry, over 500 sq ft.

Come savor a romantic experience in one of our ten rooms:  8 rooms in the main house and 2 rooms in the carriage house.  The premiere Victorian property is a George Barber kit home erected in 1892.  In 1994 Joe & Myrna Hauser returned to their hometown and opened it as a bed & breakfast featuring 5 guest rooms, all with private baths ensuite, and most with fireplaces.  In 1998 the attic was developed into 3 more guest rooms, all with private baths.   The main house offers 7,100 sq ft including 2 large parlors, a large dining room that seats 12, with 8 additional seats in back parlor.   Private innkeeper quarters —  a new addition in 2008.
