Baisley House
Bed and Breakfast

Baisley House Bed and Breakfast is a restored Victorian brownstone row house, built in 1845 by Charles Baisley. Located in Carroll Gardens, a Victorian brownstone historic district in the borough of Brooklyn, this elegant bed and breakfast is just minutes from the electricity of Manhattan. Carroll Gardens owes its name to Charles Carroll, Maryland's signer of the Declaration of Independence, and to the charming front gardens of the row houses that line its blocks. The community is rich in history, having began as a Dutch settlement in the late seventeenth century.

Relax in the stately drawing room decorated in burgundy and gold, with an Egyptian revival parlor suite and Ecclesiastical art. The dining room and library are where breakfast is served in the morning, except when it is served in the garden, weather permitting. The rear garden is an always delightful oasis. Overflowing with waves of English roses, surrounded by a perennial border, and furnished with Victorian garden furniture, it is a most peaceful sanctuary from the high energy of neighboring Manhattan. The exquisite art collection in the house ranges in period from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.

Choose from three guest accommodations: one single occupancy room and two double rooms. All rooms offer air conditioning, telephones, color cable televisions with VCRs, and wireless high speed Internet service. Enjoy a complimentary full hot breakfast in the morning as you contemplate your activities for the day.

Visit icons of New York history - the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Coney Island, with its boardwalk, amusement park, and historical legacy, is close by. Prospect Park is a wonderful place through which to stroll and observe New York life. Manhattan, with its many famous neighborhoods from the Financial District with Wall Street to Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side, is just across the East River.

World-renowned museums flood Brooklyn and Manhattan. The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College are major centers of cultural and artistic expression.

Baisley House is a great place to stay if you want to lose yourself in the many and varied restaurants of Carroll Gardens and its surrounding neighborhoods such as the historic districts of Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, and Cobble Hill.

Indulge your shopping streak by browsing the numerous fantastic shops throughout the city.

With a backdrop like New York City and a bed and breakfast described by Mark Francis Cohen of The New York Times as "...a Victorian showplace so true to form that it is as if you have walked through a time portal," you can be fairly certain of a memorable vacation at Baisley House Bed and Breakfast.
