  • Looking southward, this picture shows two of the three guesthouses. The porches are a great place to spend time on a hot afternoon with a good book and a cool drink. The large trees are about 60 years old and provide shade to the gardens.

    "The views of the canyon and the sunrises were terrific! Our only regret is that we have to leave." A Former Guest Enjoy the Virginia City of the Late 1800's. Enhance your visit by staying in period accommodations at Virginia City's finest and oldest Country Inn. Edith Palmer's Country Inn was established in a Victorian home built in 1863, before Nevada began a state. Edith Palmer, an internationally renowned chef, started the Inn after she bought the property in 1948. In the year 2000, current owners Pat and Leisa Findley began to return the Inn to it's original floor plan. This lead to the discovery of the original use of the rock room to the rear of the property, an 1863 Cider Factory. These two buildings are joined by two adjacent Victorian Houses to complete the property. An additional 1870's house will soon become part of the inn.

    Great place to spend a couple of nights. Leisa keep us entertained during our gourmet breakfast with information on the town of Virgina City.The B&B was located in a perfect spot with great views from our windows(James Flood Room), at the end of the street and very quiet. The rooms were clean and very nicely decorated. This was our first stay at a B&B we will be sure to visit this B&B again and will try out some others due to our experience at Edith palmer's Country Inn.

    Virginia City was a stop along the way for me and my girlfriend on our road trip. We didn't want to stay in Reno or Sparks. Edith Palmer's was probably our favorite part of the whole town. The innkeeper, Leisa, made sure we were well fed and well informed when we had questions about the area. Wonderful B&B.

    We didn't know what to expect, so when we pulled up it was dark and eclectic. The room was very quaint and cozy. No phone was great. We had a great stay, loved it and Leisa the proprietor was wonderful. She even made us breakfast and gave us a tour! We'll come again!

    I never felt so taken care of at a hotel or inn! Breakfast was amazing, the rooms were beautiful. All in all, it was a terrific place to go to get away from it all!
