The Anderson Cottage Bed & Breakfast

One of Bath County's oldest buildings, Anderson Cottage has been in the present owner's family since the 1870s. A rambling house, it is actually two buildings, log and clapboard. The original four rooms, housed an 18th century tavern,  has also been a girls' school and a summer inn. The Kitchen cottage combines an 1820 brick kitchen and a 20-year old addition. Operated as a B&B since 1984, rooms in the Main House may be available to guests of long-standing.

The Kitchen Cottage at the Anderson Cottage is available year-round. With three bedrooms and two baths, it is ideal for families and small groups. The upper level with a bedroom and bath is perfect for couples and singles.

The cottage is located in the village of Warm Springs, but is at the rear of the Anderson Cottage property with privacy and seclusion. Restaurants are nearby, one just three doors away.

The warm stream from the mineral springs flows through the back yard. A small balcony overlooks this, with views up and down the valley.
