We visited Cobb Mansion last year. It was our first B&B experience. Our hosts and the house were amazing. We decided to take my 85 year old parents to Cobb to celebrate their 64th anniversary. They loved it! The hosts were exceptional in caring for my parents. They loved talking history and being taken on a tour of U.C. in a woody! We love Cobb Mansion and Paul and Jeff. We will be back with friends.

I have stayed at the Cobb Mansion three times in the last year. I cannot begin to tell you how awesome each visit has been. The rooms are beautiful and well worth their price. The atmosphere cannot be duplicated and the hosts, Paul and Jeff, go above and beyond to make you feel at home. I would encourage anyone looking for a romantic get-away or just some time to yourself to visit the Cobb Mansion. This B&B alone makes the visit to Virginia City worth it!

So many reviews to read. I will not waste anyone's time with more of the same. I am just going to testify that NOTHING has been exaggerated.If you have the time, read them all. Demand the cinnamon rolls for breakfast. To die for. Paul and Jeff what can anyone say about them that would not seem like over sell. I have stayed in many B&B's. Paul and Jeff are the defining eliment. It is all so wonderful that one must just wonder if we could all be telling the truth. Andrea Gilbert, Oakdale, CA

My wife and I recently experienced the Cobb in all it's grandeur. Paul and Jeff are the ultimate hosts and inn keepers. Their knowledge and hospitality enhanced their BEAUTIFUL B&B. The Harris suite was extraordinary. The history of the mansion and it's furnishings is amazing, a story in every piece (ask about the clock that never needs winding, or the key to the mine shaft). We were attending a murder mystery in town that had a 1920's theme. Paul even delivered us in grand style in his 1929 Caddilac, moreover, he truly enjoyed doing this for us. The breakfast Paul presented was beyond our expectations. The menu consisted of fresh fruit,a beautiful Quiche, Cheese blintzes topped with home picked peaches, juice and the greatest coffee on earth! Innkeepers beware the bar has been raised !!! We plan on returning and experiencing every room the Cobb has to offer. What a special place!!! Rod & Jolee Campbell

I stayed at the Cobb Mansion two different times in July '09. Both times the food was great and the hospitality shown to me by Paul and Jeff made me feel that the mansion was like home. The first time visit I went solo. I met friendly local people, went out to a great Mexican resteraunt on main street, and conversed with the owners about the local history of Virginia City. I laughed all night listening to stories and adventures from my new friends. That first stay made me feel so happy that I took my 14 year old son for another overnight stay. When we pulled up to the house my son got out and said "WOW" we are staying here! He had a great time at night texting me from his room and sending voice mails of ghostly sounds and voices (the mansion is not haunted or the least bit scary). Those antics made everyone laugh the next morning during our tasty breakfast of eggs florentine, fresh fruit, warm baked muffin and fresh juice and coffee to order. My son was amazed by the beauty and artistic value in this great B&B. We definately will stay again at the Cobb Mansion and visit historic Viginia City.

Looking for a place in Virginia City to take visitors from England I came across the Cobb Mansion. What an experience we found!

Next week will be the 3rd time this summer we've been back to Virginia City and the "Cobb". My wife and I feel we are visiting our friends, Paul & Jeff, who open up their hearts as well as their beautiful home to give us a comfortable, entertaining experience. The gourmet breakfasts, the cocktail/get-together hours, the historic tour in the vintage convertible, the posh beds (we've experienced each room in this grand Victorian!) and the most interesting, perfect hosts are responsible for our great summer '09 memories!The Cobb Mansion Experience" is the perfect entrance and retreat for us when visiting our favorite wild west town, Virginia City, Nevada. We'll be back again-this fall! kevin & Rhonda

This is the best B&B stay ever! Fantastic location, rooms (we stayed in the Harris, my brother and his wife in the Julia), food, drink and hosts. We will make this an annual stay. I cannot say enough good things about the Cobb, and I have told many already. See you next year in July! Theresa and Doug

This B&B in Virginia City NV was one of the highlights of my month-long cross country trip. It is GORGEOUS, Paul & Jeff are the most gracious hosts on the planet, and I can't wait to go back when I have more time so I can see and do all the things they told me about in Virginia City. The accommodations are spotless, comfortable, and beautiful. The food is wonderful too, but it's really the personalities of Paul & Jeff that put the icing on the cake - what nice men! I loved this place. Mary P from Fort Collins CO

I went with a friend on a trip to Virginia City. He didn't tell me where we were staying or any of the pleasant details. When we arrived at 11:00 o'clock at night, Paul so graciously waited up for us... I was in awe at the beautiful home. I will be coming back soon and staying in the Cobb mansion- I am taking my Mother by the way, this bed & breakfast is the only one I would want to take her to. Exquisite!

Our stay at the Cobb Mansion was the highpoint of an extended trip through the West. Paul and Jeff were superb hosts. Yes, the breakfast and the evening social hour were highlights (excellent food and wonderful conversation), but more importantly both my wife and I felt totally at home. Our wide-ranging conversations with Paul and Jeff about local history, travel, collecting, and a host of other topics made the experience transcend the stated amenities of a bed and breakfast. Knowing of my interest in the region's history Paul and Jeff arranged introductions to others who shared that interest and even got all of us together at a wonderful dinner party at the mansion. We left Viriginia city with wonderful memories and new friendships. Thank you Paul and Jeff. John & Diane Grabowski

I had no idea this was going to be the wonderful experience that it was. The owners were gracious hosts, the breakfast was off-the-charts delicious and it was served on multiple layers of china and crystal glasses, candles were lit and the ambiance was luxurious and very interesting for those with an interest in antiques and history. I am sure this place is very hard to get into but if you can I definitely recommend it. You will not forget it!

My husband and I stayed at the Cobb Mansion to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We've been staying at B&B's each year on our anniversary and this is by far our favorite one! Paul and Jeff are so welcoming and make you feel "part of the family" right away! We stayed in the "Julia Bulette" room and thought it was very nice! They are full of knowledge on the town's history and gave us a first class tour in their classic car! (Which was better than any tour you could have purchased down in town!). My husband and I really enjoyed the "Beer and Wine Hour" each evening. It gave us a chance to chat with the other guests and Paul and Jeff! We really enjoyed that time getting to know everyone. I can't say enough great things about Cobb Mansion, and the inn-keepers. I have already recommended this B&B to family and friends and we know where we'll stay next time we're in Virginia City! Thanks Paul and Jeff for a memoriable 5th wedding anniversary!!!

An outstanding B&B to spend the weekend or special day. The accomodations are excellent as is the service. We felt very welcomed and thoroughly at ease as we enjoyed the house. The mansion's atmosphere, its history and, of course, the amazing food, are surpassed only by interactions with the friendly and very knowledgeable innkeepers. We were treated to a tour of Virginia City following our fantastic breakfast. This was our first stay at a B&B and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly recommend the Cobb Mansion and plan to return with friends.

I just spent a superb weekend at Cobb Mansion and I am reaching for the right superlatives to adequately describe this five-star experience. Every detail is perfect...rooms, furnishings, meals, activities and elegant hospitality. Paul and Jeff are wonderful people....residents of Virginia City for 20+ years...and they have created a special world of personal experience to inform, relax and delight you. The best of the best!

We felt right at home; Paul and Jeff have that effect. This was by far the most hospitable B&B experience we have ever had. Happy hour with a cooking demonstration, gourmet breakfast and a guided tour of Virginia City in a 1948 convertible helped to make this an outstanding weekend. Paul also gave us a tour of Cobb mansion, a detailed history of the house and town and also had great suggestions of things to see and do during our stay.

Paul and Jeff have restored a historic mansion, sparing no detail, and filling it with period antiques. The mansion is located just one short block away from the center of main street, a 2 or 3 minute walk. It is very private, super clean, extremely well decorated and in wonderfull functional shape, with brand new bathrooms thruout. At least a 4 star experiance, even for the most jaded traveler. The host's, Jeff and Paul, go way over the top to make you feel right at home. They are gourmet cooks, and have an extensive wine collection, if you ask nicely they will probably have you sample their Guacamole at cocktail hour, and they are glad to store your wine brought from home or bought in Reno on the way in, so you can have your favorite to drink there. All in all, a wonderfull surprise, and highly reccomended. PS: They know just about everybody, and everthing about town, just ask any question, they are most willing to help !

A friend and I chose the Cobb Mansion for a "girl's getaway". Even though we live in Reno, visiting Virginia City is truly a mini-vacation for us. Paul and Jeff are amazing! We could not have asked for more gracious hosts. The property is also amazing - beautifully restored and yet comfortable and functionable. We were also lucky enough to meet several of their friends and enjoy a lovely evening. I am a late sleeper but was happy I got up for breakfast. Paul's cinnamon rolls are to die for. I thought that, the fresh fruit, amazing coffee and fresh juice were it and then out came the Eggs Benedict. I am looking forward to planning another girl's weekend! I travel for a living and the bed at the Cobb Mansion was one of the most comfortable I've slept in. Please if you are visiting Virginia City and want a truly memorable experience, stay at the Cobb Mansion - you won't be sorry! Thanks again to Paul and Jeff - I feel as though I've made two new wonderful friends.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to happen upon this jewel in Virginia City for our 13th anniversary. The house is a lovingly restored mansion from 1875, and the rooms are immaculate. Paul and Jeff accommodated not only our every need, but whim as well. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet some of their fabulous friends, some of whom are pillars of the VC community, and others who are just some VERY nice folks. We won't forget the tour about town in the 1929 Cadillac after breakfast-truly a treat. There won't be a thing you don't know about the town after Paul's expert knowledge is imparted. There won't be anybody you don't know as well! The cuisine is to die for, from the homemade guacamole to the blueberry pancakes. Be careful of the homemade cinnamon rolls-you won't look at those the same again! YUM! If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience hosted by two wonderful gents who have made the B&B stay into a fine, high art, this is for you. We truly feel that we have made some very good friends at the Cobb Mansion.

Recently, I visited historical Virginia City, Nevada, staying overnight at the Cobb Mansion B&B. A once neglected relic, Cobb has been restored to its 1800s grandeur. If a house can feel pride, this one must be near to bursting in its new glory. It is furnished in wonderful antiques and boasts both the muted and sometimes lavish colors of the era. There are six rooms available, one a suite with an exciting view of the town. Rooms are named for former residents of the famed area. I occupied the Julia Bulette room, named for Virginia City's one-time most renowned prostitute. She was of the "heart-of-gold" category, genuinely loved by many. When she was foully murdered, it is said 1,000 firemen attended her funeral. Julia's room at Cobb is appropriately decorated in her favorite color, crimson. It is on the first floor of the three-story house, especially appreciated by me since I sometimes use a cane and find stairs a challenge. All rooms are VERY reasonably priced. Breakfast was elaborate, including Eggs Florentine and rolls homemade that morning, all prepared and served by the two charming owners, Paul Yandre and Jeff Teague. After breakfast, I toured Virginia City, heart of the famed Comstock Silver Lode. I walked the main street that is little changed since Mark Twain trod the boardwalk. There are the same quaint saloons and charming shops, Piper's Opera House where Jenny Lind once sang, the remnants of "Chinatown," a seven-sectioned cemetery, a hospital purported by some to be haunted, and mines to be toured--among other attractions. Too many fascinations for a person to cover in one day, but I managed several and then wended my way back "home" to luxuriate in Cobb's enchanting parlor. Here I realized that both outside and inside Cobb Mansion in Virginia City, I felt wrapped in history.

Our stay at the Cobb Mansion was superb! We were in Virginia City to visit family and had wonderful accomodations there. The Mansion is beautifully restored and Jeff and Paul are very welcoming hosts. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious with fresh fruits, homemade breads and muffins, and their specialty - Eggs Florentine. There are many things to see and do in Virginia City and the Cobb Mansion is within walking distance of most of the attractions. Jeff and Paul gave many great suggestions for places to see in town as they are very knowledgeable about the town's history. They are also familiar with the surrounding areas and gave us tips on some great hiking trails. We had a great vacation and will definitely stay at the Cobb Mansion on our return visits to Virginia City.

After staying at the Cobb Mansion, your better half will undoubtedly present you with a list of upgrades to be done at your own residence, prompted by your stay in this Victorian beauty. The craftmanship in this grand restoration project is second to none, and Paul and Jeff will make sure that you feel as though you are the most important element in the entire experience. Like old, and wild west history? Just ask. Paul and Jeff are both educators and some of the best advocates of the Virginia City experience.

Traveling from Southern California to Virginia City has for years been one of my favorite automobile trips, never failing to offer new surprises in a town long famous not only for the silver and gold mines of the Comstock Lode, begetting more than $400 million in precious metals within a few square miles, much of it from beneath the city as it stands today. This year, July 2008, my grown daughter and I, along with another friend, stayed at the Cobb Mansion, originally built in 1876, restored in 2007 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. True to the town's character, it epitomized the laid back, independent but sophisticated nature of the town, once home to silver barons who built several mansions, still standing and in use today. It is also home to the noted 1800s prostitute, Juliette Bulette, who has been honored with her own room at the Cobb. My friend stayed in Julia's elegant room downstairs, while my daughter and I shared the second floor Harris Suite with a view overlooking the city. Most notable about the B&B, though are the innkeepers Paul Yandre and Jeff Teague citizens of the town for more than 20 years. It's not enough that both are gourmet cooks, providing an unforgettable breakfast of Eggs Florentine, homemade bread and muffins, and an array of fresh fruits, but they know more about the city's history and sites to see than anyone in town. A tour by Yandre of the restored three-story mansion and its furnishing offered another bonus. Although the B&B is furnished in period Victorian antiques, from the cabinets in each room's private bathroom to the sumptuous beds, it also offers WiFi, central heat and AC, and library to piano. All that, plus the wealth of things to do in Virginia City from mine tours (some beneath the city) to antique shopping and gambling in old-style casinos.
