A Vast Array of Activities

Relax on the sprawling verandas and escape the hectic pace of today's world, just as travelers did when the home was first converted to an inn at the turn of the century.

Located only 400 feet from the city docks and public beach, the Captain Gilchrist House is adjacent to the Maritime Museum and historic Lighthouse. Walk two blocks to the heart of downtown and enjoy the many specialty shops, taverns and unique restaurants, featuring French, Czechoslovakian, Italian, and American cuisine. Bikes are available for those in a hurry to explore. Sail and power boat rentals and fishing charters are available from one of the many marinas in this lakeside port.

The entrance to Cedar Point and ferry boats to the islands is about 20 miles from the inn - making the Captain Gilchrist House "The Place to Stay on Your Way to the Bay."
