Our Location and History
1911 Restaurant is a unique hidden gem where you can step back in time to a bygone era. Though the hotel and restaurant have seen many owners, current owners Patty and Mo Rave strive to preserve the historic charm of the space while offering a modern twist to elevate your dining experience. Originally commissioned in 1910, the inn and restaurant’s location were selected for their overwhelming beauty. The restaurant and adjoining hotel are nestled among well-established trees and offer incredible bay views.
Many guests are excited to hear about our haunted history, as several spirits have been said to take up residence at the inn over the years—but don’t worry, paranormal sightings have all been friendly encounters.
