Barb and Hank Rishel
Inn Keepers / Wellington Inn Bed and Breakfast
In 1999 Barb and Hank Rishel purchased what is now Wellington Inn Bed and Breakfast. They went to great lengths to preserve this beautiful piece of the past to its original grandeur. The property features period antiques throughout each room, attached private baths as well as the rest of the property. Following an extensive 4 year restoration, they opened the bed and breakfast in 2003.
Barb and Hank bring their years of experience to ensure the perspective of the Innkeeper is always top of mind.
