The Basics

SELECT REGISTRY MEMBER SINCE 2023

Originally constructed in 1790 for the Cuthbert Family, this antebellum-style home served as a residence during the summer social season. While welcoming visits from other prominent families and political figures, their refreshing retreat along the bay was perfectly situated to capture cool, gentle coastal breezes. Over time, the home has been lovingly preserved and meticulously restored into the grand, historic inn it is today.

Guest Reviews

Beautiful restoration! We stayed in the coastal room, which had its own separate entrance. The room was perfect! Comfortable bed, nice sitting area, great bathroom. Location was within 10 walking minutes of everything in downtown. There is a happy hour from 5-6 & breakfast in the morning. We will definitely recommend & be returning!

We are happy to share our 10 Star (not 5 star) experience with you. Our stay at the Cuthbert House was extraordinary. From the time of our reservation, to our arrival, stay and departure, we experienced top notch service. Our concierge, Karen was wonderful.

What an amazing bed and breakfast!!! From the minute we stepped foot in the house we were pampered. Our dog, Annie May, loved the yard and all the wonderful accommodations. The room was newly remodeled and so clean and magnificent. I would give it a 20 out of 10! Highly recommend especially if you are traveling with your furry best friend. Everything was within walking distance. Plenty of restaurants...See More
