Hearty Miners' Pancakes
Comstock miners liked to make pancakes, rather than bread, as an easier choice for using flour. Our Hearty Miners' Pancakes combine healthy grains with nuts and fresh fruit for an unforgettable combination. We're sure the old time miners would have loved these pancakes. Served with berry compote and syrup choices.

We stayed here during Street Vibrations in September, 2011. What a great place with fantastic hosts. Chris and Carolyn have gone above and beyond with their lovely B&B. They've done such a great job with the renovation of their place. It's just beautiful. Our room was perfect with those extra little touches that made it special. Carolyn is an awesome cook. The breakfasts were "to die for". She and Chris chatted with us during breafasts, sharing the history of their B&B. Carolyn sent us on our way with the leftover pastries and with seeds from her garden, after giving me a tour'. We'll be back next year. Laura and Joe

We had a wonderful stay at the B Street House Bed and Breakfast! Chris and Carolyn were amazing hosts and really knew the history of the original house and Virginia City itself. They served delicious scones and a very tasty breakfast that was so much more than we expected. Thank you for a great stay!

This was our first time at a Bed & Breakfast inn. We stayed here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The restoration job done was outstanding inside and out. I enjoyed seeing the attention to detail with the decor - the period being the late 1800's. The breakfast was very special and delicious. We are going to stay here every year for our anniversary!
Wonderful Time!
