    My first stay at the Gambier House and I wish I had stayed here sooner! Lovely, comfortably-appointed rooms with a fabulous breakfast. From arrival to departure, my expectations were exceeded. Enjoy your stay!

    We stayed in the suite that included a small, but fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, WiFi reception, and considerable privacy (being separated from the main building by an enclosed, plant-filled breezeway). The bedroom is upstairs with an extra bed on the upstairs landing. The inn is utterly charming as in the proprietress. The common areas are comfortable and sehr gemütlich!


    You should visit downtown Gambier!

    I have stayed at Gambier House several times over the three years our daughter has been a student at Kenyon College. Innkeeper Betsy makes a great breakfast, whether the best whole wheat blueberry pancakes you ever ate or a frittata loaded with fresh vegetables. I am looking forward to returning in the fall!

    The innkeeper was very accommodating. The house was quiet and spacious and extremely convenient to campus. Our room was lovely although the bed groaned (loudly) when getting in and out--I guess all antiques have their idiosycracies. We would definitely stay there again.

    Gambier House is a great combination of comfortable, down-to-earth, and elegant! I loved each of the rooms I stayed in on two visits (Drawer and Victorian). Betsy is a great innkeeper. I recommend it highly!
