The Cambridge House Bed and Breakfast was built in 1916 and was the
home of the local doctor and his family. 'Doc' Whiteman and his wife
Carrie were prominent citizens in the community and are fondly
remembered by the locals who love to tell amusing anecdotes about
their experiences with the good doctor, or their relationships with
Carrie and the children. After the passing of her husband, Carrie
lived in the house for many years until she moved to Council.
The beautiful old craftsman-style house was purchased in the mid
1980s by Mr. & Mrs. Jack Huff, but left unoccupied for many years.
In December of 2008 the house again changed hands. Sheila Marchbanks,
a lifelong resident of rural Canyon County near Notus Idaho, saw the
great potential in the house as a bed & breakfast. After a little over
a year of renovation the house is ready to welcome overnight guests
into its charming early 1900's atmosphere.
From its wide inviting front porch to its five bedrooms and 37 windows,
the house was built by expert craftsmen to be enjoyed and appreciated
for many years. The original hardwood floors still grace the entire
house, as does the original brick fireplace and built in china cabinet.
The three bedrooms upstairs all boast private ensuite bathrooms, which were converted from walk-in closets. The two bedrooms downstairs have king beds and share a common bath which has a beautiful claw-foot tub. All five rooms enjoy cable television and wireless internet.
Come and experience the hospitality extended at The Cambridge House
Bed & Breakfast, where the wholesome, friendly atmosphere feels "just
like staying at Grandma's house!".
