Gaslight Inn Review

It's easy to imagine the splendor of this 1906 house when it was a single-family residence—the Gaslight retains much of the original charm, while offering contemporary and artistic touches not typically seen in B&Bs. Rooms here range from a crow's nest with peeled-log furniture and Navajo-print fabrics to a more traditional suite with Arts and Crafts-style furnishings, a fireplace, cloisonné vases, and stained-glass windows. The large common areas evoke a gentlemen's club, with deer mounts overlooking oak wainscoting, Oriental carpets, and leather chairs. There's room to move around in here, including a lovely backyard and a deck with fabulous views. The Gaslight also has something no other B&B can claim: a seasonal heated pool, nicely positioned in a private oasis of a backyard.

    Right from the beginning I was made to feel right at home, the art and ambiance in this place is just spectacular. My Suite was beautiful and comfortable, with a view of the city, fireplace, contemporary furniture and a very comfortable Queen bed. This was a business trip for myself but will be back soon with my wife to enjoy all the romantic pluses the Gaslight had to offer.
