Shellmont Inn

This charming two-story Victorian mansion looks like a fairy-tale house, its exterior embellished with ribbons, bows, garlands, and shells. The building, which dates from 1891, is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a city landmark. Innkeepers Ed and Debbie McCord have done a superb job of restoring the place, meticulously researching original paint colors, stencil designs, woodwork, and period furnishings, and reproducing them with 100% accuracy. Upstairs are the four guest rooms, which can be reserved individually or in pairs (as two-room units). On your way up, be sure to stop on the landing to check out the five-paneled stained-glass window, believed to be an authentic Tiffany. Rooms have elegant queen-size beds, leaded-glass or bay windows, and Oriental rugs on pine floors. Three rooms have whirlpool baths. The carriage house has a luxurious master bedroom, a modern bathroom with steam shower, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, and a dressing area.
