Upon entering this special Queen Anne Victorian you are transported back into yesterday. The Gilbert Inn, built in 1892, still looks much the same as it did back then, the large fireplace in the middle of the parlor; the natural fir tongue and groove ceilings and walls all through the house still hold on to their warmth and charm.

The ten guests accommodations are inspired by the classic Victorian era and mirror charm and style from the past. Every room offers lovely decor with queen sized beds, down quilts, cozy comforters, period furnishings and our family heirlooms all mingled together to make the emphasis on comfort.

All of the rooms feature private bathrooms, color television, telephones, and DVD players with complimentary DVD's available and includes a full breakfast.
