This Old Victorian House - Take a Victorian House Tour

We hope you'll come see us in person soon, but until then, why not enjoy an online tour of our lovingly restored Queen Anne-style Victorian house?

Old House Lovers' Dream Come True

Bonnie and Bill Maher had always dreamed of owning an old house. They loved touring historic homes when they travelled, and hated seeing old houses being demolished or "re-muddled" instead of restored.

Their love of old houses led to buying a big old Victorian of their own--though they never imagined that they would someday open its doors as a bed and breakfast!

A House Full of History

Before the house was purchased by the Mahers, it had been in the same family, the Jensens, for three generations. That means there are lots of memories and information about the house's past that have been shared by Jensen family members, as well as friends and former employees of the family.
