We had a wonderful 1 night stay in this B&B, and very happy we did not check in to another impersonal chain hotel. The innkeeper was very generous with travel advice and she prepared a lovely breakfast for us served on quaint china. If we are in the neighbourhood again we certainly would make the detour to stay there again.... More

The Chalfant House was my first experience with a B&B and now I'm hooked. I just returned from my second visit and will continue to stay there the next time I'm in Bishop (if rooms are available). The house itself is quite charming, the bed is comfortable, and the breakfasts 'to die for.' Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This was our fourth visit to Chalfant House, the first in a couple of years. Like an old friend, it's a bit frayed at the edges, but you still grin with pleasure at revisiting. Yeah, it needs some paint on the outside trim, and yeah if you look closely you'll find the occasional bit of wallpaper curling back, but heck,... More

We stayed two nights and it was very comfortable, you felt like you really were in someone's home. The innkeeper was there to check us in, give us a key and answer questions. She does not live on site but it was not a problem and the first night we were the only guests. The living room was a little... More

I have stayed at this B&B 4 times now. It has gone down-hill in service. While my room (Pleasant) was fine, and having a separate entrance a plus, the lack of on-site staff for much of the day was problematic (it took a while to find someone to check me in, other people needed help and had to call the...

Motels in Bishop are grungy or overpriced, so we went for this B&B. There was too much clutter of unstable, fragile antiques and oversized furniture. We could barely fit our suitcase in the room and kept ramming our toes into the heavy bedframe or rocking chair. Every surface was covered with dried flowers or cutesy junk. The bathroom door banged... More

A gem of a place. The owners have done a wonderful job of decorating this historic house. Peaceful and close to great restaurants. The owners are very friendly and breakfast was great. And the prices are an amazing value!

We could not have asked for better, we were greated by Lisa who was wonderful...!!!! Because of the last minute booking we had to take two rooms...which was less for the two rooms than the dirty motel... More

Chalfant House B&B is great - It's CLEAN & QUIET. The cost was about 100.00 per night. We love the fact that it is not right on the main street located about 2 blocks off and it' quiet.Close enough to walk to the main drag, where the restaurants and shops are located. The owner Pattie is very accommodating. She carries... More

After a long drive from Los Angeles, we were ready for a rest. As soon as we saw the beautiful exterior of the Chalfant House, we knew we'd picked a winner. It's on a sublime little avenue just a few, short paces away from the main street. Patty gave us such a warm welcome, she is the most wonderful hostess!... More
