When it comes to Colonel Taylor Inn, the accolades keep coming in.  “Voted Best in the USA" by our Inngoers for 2002/2003 & published in the Inn Traveler! Awarded for 2003/2004 "The Inn with the Most Hospitality" by our discerning Inngoers! Voted #2 in the USA with the most Historical Charm for 2004/2005; these categories change every year! Cambridge Ohio is the place to go!  These awards put the Colonel Taylor Inn in the top1% of bed and breakfast and country inns throughout the United States & Canada for the past three years!

This spectacular, stunning, beautiful three story, 9000 sq. ft. Victorian Mansion located in the scenic part of Southeastern Ohio will provide down-home enjoyment for even the most demanding B & B purist. The adorable example of exquisite Victorian architecture captures all the charm & grace of a bygone era. The picturesque design is complete with central ac and all the comforts of today. What a special place to say "I Love You!"  Warm fires, luxurious settings, an intimate atmosphere and the serenity is the perfect way to pause from the rigor of daily life with that “someone special.”  Memories are made from places like the Colonel Taylor Inn.  The roomy, cheerful, design is perfect for  year-round, lodging accommodations.  At  http://www.coltaylorinnbb.com/Page3.php#9 are a number of splendid reasons to come and “make memories” at the Inn. 

Breakfast is usually a “looked forward to treat” at Bed and Breakfast lodging, and with  combinations of apple French toast, stuffed French toast, sausage egg casserole or quiche, Canadian bacon, ham or sausage, muffins, banana nut bread, fresh fruit, juices, and gourmet freshly ground coffee, you are certain to have a “happy day ahead of you.”
