If you'd seen this property before it was restored, you'd see that this is a huge improvement to what it had been in the 1980s (and probably far before then). Click to see the yard...

There's a nice-sized lap pool to swim, or just lounge, in when the weather gets hot in Geyserville. Scroll to see the 'caretakers cottage'...

This garden set up intimates that it may have been for the gardener. If the homebuyer wants to rent this out as a granny unit, they may find tenants who love to garden - fresh fruit for everyone. Scroll to see the barn...

Barn. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
This antique barn is original to the property. It's doubtful is houses a horse or two any longer, but it is a nice piece of history. Okay, enough of the outside. Click to get inside the main event...

The front room is Victorian all the way through - from the decor to the Persian carpet. Scroll to get to the dining room...

Slide 7 of 18

Formal dining room. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
The formal dining room has an almost floral motif being pulled through with the wallpaper - even to the ceiling. While the wallpaper is busy, if you look closely at the window, you can see how the architecture creates an archway over an area that would make a wonderful place for a vintage fainting couch (it has a desk right now). Click to see one of the 8 bedrooms...

Bathroom. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
Like most Victorian homes, the bathrooms are small. Thankfully, this one has been updated with a shower over the bathtub. It may not be original, but baths aren't everyone's thing. Click to see the kitchen...

Kitchen. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
This kitchen is definitely upgraded, in terms of appliances. It may seem a bit rough - I can't tell if that's a bare cement ceiling or plaster - but since its lived most of the time as a hotel, a working kitchen makes sense. Scroll to see the living room...

Living room/sitting room. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
This light-filled sitting room is right off the kitchen. For a B&B, this is a sitting area for people to wait for their meals, or just sit and socialize. The wallpaper isn't so overwhelming here, and the white plank ceiling has been kept original. Click to see another seating area...

Casual eating area. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
Of course, just because the house is intrinsically formal doesn't mean you have to sit in the formal dining area. Here's a casual breakfast nook to enjoy a cup of coffee in. Scroll to check out the master bedroom...

Master bedroom. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
The master bedroom (or you can call it the grand suite) is really a work of art. There are too many details to list here, so I won't try - I'll just suggest, strongly, that you take your time looking at this one. Click to see another view...

Master bathroom. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
This bathroom is updated, certainly, but they carried through the wallpaper, in a much more subdued palette. Click to see just one more bedroom...

Guest bedroom. (Photo courtesy of North County Properties)
This is another one of the 8 bedrooms, just to show that the themes are carried through. As this was a hotel, you need to trust your guests not to throw wild parties or damage the walls (or ceiling) in any way.
