Part of the B&B’s allure is its historic significance. It’s one of the few examples of Gothic Revival residential architecture that was constructed prior to the Civil War.

It was built in 1849 for just $655.22! The home’s namesake, Peter Hunter, purchased the home several years later in 1858.

Today, the home offers visitors a unique peek into the past, as it’s been barely altered since its construction.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the B&B is lacking in the amenities department.

Guests will find all the comforts of home, plus a few extras, like hot, homemade breakfasts, which are delivered to guests’ rooms each morning.

And it’s those “extras” that caught the attention of Travel and Leisure, which revered the Peter Hunter House for its ability to make guests feel at home.
