Bed and Breakfast Accommodations

The White House is thought to date from about 1858 and was owned by A. Seamon from at least 1874 until 1909. It was then bought by August Syll and occupied by his family until 1983, which led to it's sale to current owner Phil Stoll. Mrs. Stoll spent many years restoring the house.

The town of Genoa was established in 1851 by Mormon traders and called Mormon Station until 1855 when, as legend has it, Judge Orson Hyde changed the name of the community to Genoa after Genoa, Italy the birthplace of Christopher Columbus.The Town was the home to Nevada's first hotel, newspaper and court. Another first for the state, the Genoa Bar, billed "Nevada's oldest thirst parlor", was patronized by Mark Twain, Teddy Roosevelt and Johnny Cash and was used in John Wayne and Clint Eastwood films.The village was also the set for the movie "Misery", starring Kathy Bates. The village size doubled in size with buildings added and then removed after the filming.

Much of Genoa, including the original fort, station and hotel was destroyed in a fire in 1910, but replica of the fort was built in 1947. Every year since 1919 Genoa has held a festival called The Candy Dance, where candy, food and crafts are sold to support its town government. The Candy Dance is usually held during the final weekend of September.
