Bed and Breakfast Accommodations

This landmark home is a Queen Anne Victorian built by Isaac Staples in the 1890's for his daughter, Aurora. Her husband, Adolphus Hospes, was a Civil War veteran and survivor of the famous First Minnesota Charge at Gettysburg.

The home is elegantly decorated to reflect the Victorian era. A spacious hall, showcase Victorian parlor, and book-filled study with a woodburning fireplace are open to our guests. A full 3-course breakfast is served in the formal dining room.

An open staircase leads to four guest rooms on the second floor. The original Carriage House has been renovated, and is now the fifth guest room. All rooms are air conditioned and are furnished with fine art and antiques.
