My sister was married here in 1988 as it was a church then. She and her husband found it had changed to a B & B and stayed several times before my sister and I had. She has been there about 10 times and I have stayed 3 times. Richard and Nona are the sweetest most accommodating hosts you could ask for. You have the freedom of looking at the items placed around and the history is AMAZING! We walked all over town until 11 or 12 and felt very safe. My sister and I have so much fun there and will always go back as long as they will have us, because my sister and I are pretty loud and vocal! We laugh so much and have a good time together plus Richard and Nona laughed with our antics! This is a lovely place and they are lovely people...thank you to both of you!...Kathy and Diane

The Victorian Rose is sooooo lovely! The entire building is truly beautiful and our suite was lush and gorgeous. This historical masterpiece is a sight to see for sure! The breakfast was gourmet and comforting and all of the guests had a wonderful time at the table as we shared a delicious meal. In the evening, sweet and savory tempting treats abound and were made with as much love breakfast. Nona is an amazing cook/baker. Richard is a wonderful man and hospitable soul. They are a lovely couple and wonderful hosts. The location is awesome! My family enjoyed our stay and will be back... we are locals but still enjoy the get away. Thank you Nona and Richard for blessing us with this Victorian piece of heaven.

The history is wonderful, owners are very friendly and accomodating. It really needs to be cleaned, badly. Cobwebs on the gate outside, old faded flyers stuck in the door. Cobwebs in the window of the room. Tables outside caked with black grime, dead plants, and a broom propped in the corner of the deck. The bedding did not look like it had been washed. I know because my hair is light in color. Food from the 5:00 social get together was still sitting out when I awoke at 6 Am. Having a place clean definitely makes you feel more welcome. I was disappointed in this aspect and for that reason, I could not recommend this place.

Loved the Victorian Rose and the friendly innkeepers. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was great even though I walked across the hall to use it (it was my own bathroom). Best of all were the gourmet, yummy breakfasts and the history of the Victorian Rose. I appreciated being allowed to check in a bit late. Also loved the trip with Island Packers to Santa Cruz island.
