Welcome to our restored Victorian villa, located in the heart of downtown Wilmington, Ohio.
Conveniently located midway between Cincinnati , Columbus and Dayton, just off of
Interstate 71. Effie's Place Bed and Breakfast is designed for your personal comfort as your
home away from home. We have three well appointed guestrooms with private baths.
Whether you are here on business in the Wilmington area, visiting nearby Wilmington
College, or looking for a getaway in a small town setting, our convenient accommodations
are sure to please you.
Built in 1871, Effie's Place is a two story Victorian villa with alabaster chandeliers, authentic
leather wallpaper, stucco siding with a clay tile roof and a 7 foot stained glass window
overlooking the grand staircase.
We named our Bed and Breakfast after Effie Fisher, a prior owner of the home. Effie was
married to the local newspaper publisher, William Fisher, and together they purchased the
house in 1911. After William died in 1916, Effie continued to live in the house by herself until
her death in 1965. In the first half of the century, Effie remodeled the house to its current
architecture, including some of the most prominent features. Because so much that Effie
incorporated into the house has remained unchanged, we wanted to honor her by
remembering it as her place.
We serve a full, gourmet breakfast every morning at your convenience, so you are free to
plan your day as you wish. Enjoy fresh baked cookies upon your arrival, and feel free to join
us in the gathering room to meet your fellow travelers. We are familiar with the area
attractions, so we can help plan your day's activities. If you are more adventurous,
Wilmington is within a one hour drive of the three major cities of Cincinnati, Dayton, and
Columbus, so you can enjoy a convenient day trip to any of these metropolitan areas.
If you are looking for a romantic weekend away, be sure to ask for the Denver suite. It has a
whirlpool tub for two with a surrounding mural painted by a local artisan, and separate
sitting room where you can enjoy a quiet sunset.

mural created by a local artisan. Attached is a private solarium that has been converted to a
sitting room with live plants and a comfortable love seat that pulls out into a single bed.
