History
The China Clipper Inn was built from the ground up in the 1990s and opened in 1995 by Earl Yarbrough, a Navy Commander, and keen nautical enthusiast. The majority of the units honor notable Clipper ships with marine names. Yarbrough also wanted to preserve the town’s traditional Victorian aesthetic.
3-Star Amenities
A complimentary full daily breakfast, a patio, a hot tub, and a garden are just a few amenities offered at the inn. Guests who drive themselves can use the easy-to-reach and free parking spaces. Wi-Fi is available in all the rooms and each of the common areas.
Winter visitors like to stay at this location due to its proximity to places to do cross-country and downhill skiing and other cold-weather sports like snowshoeing and snowmobiling.
