The Inn’s History
Built in 1897
Oldest B & B in Cedar City
These rooms still feature the original fireplace, doors, floors, and windows of the original home. The plush gardens are kept the same as in the days of ole, providing shade from the hot summer sun, with some of the same mature fruit trees supplying apples, plums, and peaches for a number of breakfast entrées. The garden patio with honeysuckle adorned-arbors bring a lovely aroma in the warmer months, and separates different areas of the garden laden property, allowing one to find a special place for themselves and experience this welcoming home. That hospitality lives on today at the Iron Gate Inn.
Originally, this second empire Victorian home had 3 large bedrooms and one bath with only one fireplace to heat its approximately 1900 square feet. Other than the change, around 1908, from a picket fence to the scrolled iron gated fence, (still surrounding the front today); the home underwent few changes until it was bought and completely renovated in 2001 and became The Iron Gate Inn.
The house remained in the Thorley family until the late 1960s when, with the death of the last remaining daughter-in-law, it passed to her relatives.
The property’s landscape went through a total transformation as well. Beautiful and secluded patios grace the grounds for outdoor dining and relaxation. The entire garden area surrounding the home now provides a perfect spot for outdoor weddings and receptions, private parties and events for any occasion.
