    Ideally located just across the street from Kenyon College, The Gambier House, with 5 bedrooms and an attached suite, has been lovingly restored and decorated. It features a formal parlor, family room, fireplaces, antiques and hidden staircases. Enjoy the tranquility of the weeping cherry courtyard or watch the world go by on a front porch rocker. Ask us about events at Kenyon College or access to the Kokosing Gap bike trail and scenic river, Amish Country and antiquing.

    Gambier Weekend

    May 08, 2013

    We met family members for the weekend and stayed at the Gambier House and it was perfect. We were able to get three rooms and our daughter joined us for breakfast both days were were there. The service was terrific, and the comfortable atmosphere made it easy for us to spend time visiting and relaxing. The rooms are nicely done and spacious, although as in any older home they have their quirks.

    It was very convenient to the campus of Kenyon College. I can't wait to stay here again. The inn keeper makes a nice breakfast and is very helpful with directions.

    Beyond Expectations

    March 22, 2013

    I had never stayed at a B & B so I had preconceived ideas but I was pleasantly surprised. The breakfast was exceptional. Rooms were very comfortable and spacious. Each having a different theme. We stayed in the Master bedroom. Staff was very nice as were the fellow visitors.
