Step into a world of charm, history, and warm hospitality—here’s what to expect during your first stay at our Victorian inn!

Why Choose a Victorian B&B Over a Hotel?

✅ Personalized service– Meet innkeepers who know your name (and your coffee preferences!).

✅ Homemade breakfasts– Indulge in fresh-baked cookies, seasonal fruit, and hearty dishes like French toast and sausage gravy and flaky biscuits.

✅ Unique ambiance– Original woodwork, antique furnishings, and cozy nooks perfect for unwinding.

✅ Local secrets– Get insider tips on hidden gems in Marblehead, Catawba Island, and Port Clinton you won’t find on travel sites.

What to Expect During Your Stay

1. Check-In & Arrival

- Warm welcome: Simply ask, and we’re happy to give you a tour of the inn! You’ll also receive a detailed rundown of amenities via email a few days before arrival.

2. Your Room

- Themed decor: Each room reflects Victorian elegance, featuring four-poster beds, elegant dressers, antique paintings, and timeless charm.

- Modern comforts: Enjoy Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, AC/heat, oversized luxurious towels, premium bed linens, and large flat-screen TVs with cable—because historic charm shouldn’t compromise comfort!

3. Breakfast Fit for Royalty- Multi-course meals: Savor a rotating menu of sweet and savory dishes (with dietary accommodations available upon request).

- Dining options: Join fellow travelers in our formal dining room for a shared experience, or opt for breakfast in bed for a more private start to your day.

4. Common Areas & Extras
