History


The Cambridge House was built in 1916 and was the home of the local doctor and his family.

'Doc' Whiteman and his wife Carrie were prominent citizens in the community and are fondly remembered by the locals who love to tell amusing anecdotes about their experiences with the good doctor, or their relationships with Carrie and the children. After the passing of her husband, Carrie lived in the house for many years until she moved to the Council.The beautiful old craftsman-style house was purchased in the mid-1980s by Mr. & Mrs. Jack Huff but left unoccupied for many years.

In December of 2008, the house again changed hands. David and Sheila Marchbanks, lifelong residents of rural Canyon County near Notus Idaho, saw the great potential in the house as a bed & breakfast.
