One of the statements in the guestbook hits really close to the mark. "Whitman House is not like staying with friends, it IS staying with friends!" Whitman House was recommended to us by a friend in the area. The house interior is very neat and tidy, and the rooms are spotless. The main lounge area is spacious yet cozy, and... More

We just stayed two nights after arriving from the UK. Our host David met us on arrival at Whitman house. What an interesting character who has a lot to say about everything. The best advice he gave us was see everything here that you can't see anywhere else. The room was very high quality but our bathroom was not en... More

Nice location, no noise, clean, nice bathrooms, excellent hosts. The green room was near perfect, except that there is NO DESK in the room, although there is adequate space in the rest of the apartment. But if you like to work in your own room on a desk, do not take the green room. I think it is a good... More

My husband and I stayed at the Whitman for seven nights, this past week. We stayed the first three nights in the green room up stairs. Then the last four nights in the gold or yellow room upstairs. David, our host / inn keeper, explained that he had a memory foam on the bed in the green room. We were... More

Occasionally on my travels I say at an inn where the innkeeper is as much a part of the experience as the accomodations. This was true of my stay at the Whitman House. The inn is owned by David and Robert. During my stay, I found that the purpose of the inn is to fund their non-profit Search For A... More
