Ten years ago this weekend, The Minnis House opened for business. On Friday, April 9, 2010, we hosted a private birthday luncheon and a wedding rehearsal dinner. On Saturday, April 10, 2010, we opened for breakfast. Although our tea room was only open for a few months, we continued to host private events for many years in addition to having guests in the bed and breakfast. There have been many happy celebrations here these past ten years, weddings, bridal and baby showers, anniversary and birthday parties, book signings and so much more. Last year and previously as well, we were voted Best Bed and Breakfast by the readers of our county newspaper, for which we’re so thankful. Here are just a few photos from the past ten years. In May 2015, we opened the guest cottage across the street and in October 2019 we opened a general store next to it, Lost Creek Mercantile. The Minnis House is temporarily closed for awhile, partially due to the Covid-19 crisis and because we are taking care of Kim’s 92 year old father here who is on hospice. We hope to someday be able to host overnight guests and private events again, but family comes first. We appreciate all your support and encouragement these past ten years.
