Circa 1862. Stroll among the paths in the gardens shaded by trees and accented by shrubs. Rock terraces lead up hillsides with incredible views of the surrounding area. Enjoy overlooking the canyon to the east toward the 100-Mile View. Relax in the courtyard when not exploring and enjoying the ambiance of historic Virginia City, Nevada. Stay in a guest room named after women important to the inn or owners. The Storey House has an upstairs family suite with a kitchenette. Silver Street House boasts rooms named for four famous Irish miners. The original cider factory with thick rock walls is now the main dining room serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. A stone fireplace keeps the chill away in cooler weather.

Innkeeper Note

Edith Palmer's Country Inn was established in a Victorian home built in 1863. Originally, the home and a rock building to the rear were used as a cider factory. Edith Palmer, a renowned cook and innkeeper, started the Inn after she bought the property in 1948. In the year 2000, current owners Pat and Leisa Findley began reconstructing and rejuvenating the Inn. Reopening in June of 2003, the Inn along with the rock room which is now, appropriately, the Cider Factory Restaurant are joined by the two adjacent Victorian Houses to complete the property. A fourth building is currently being renovated and when finished, will also be included as part of the Inn.
