A warm welcome

Come as a guest, leave as a friend

I didn't set out to run a bed and breakfast. I fell for this old 1889 schoolhouse, filled it with art and stories from a lifetime of travel, and now I get to share it with you.

When you stay here you're never just a booking. We'll talk over a homemade breakfast, I'll point you to my favourite spots along the Gorge, and you'll leave feeling like you've known the place for years. I can't wait to host you.

The House

History you can feel, comfort you sink into

The 1889 Schoolhouse keeps the charm of this heritage one-room school while welcoming guests with furnishings and art collected from around the world. Three bedrooms with en-suite baths sit in a modern addition that blends effortlessly with the old, and the original schoolhouse holds a warm space to gather. Every morning starts with a homemade breakfast.
