Tarabino Inn
“A co-owner once listed the spirits for the local paper like regular tenants.”
The Tarabino brothers built this U-shaped Italianate in 1907, and Barney apparently never checked out — he's said to keep to the Walnut Suite. The house did a stint as a funeral home, which might explain the rest of the roster: a little girl who knocks, an elderly woman on the stairs, and cherry pipe smoke drifting through a library where nobody has smoked in decades. A co-owner once listed the spirits for the local paper like regular tenants. You can book the room.
The move: Book the Walnut Suite for the night, then sit up late in the library with a Scrabble board and see who else wants to play.
📍 Before you go It's a small B&B with only a few suites, typically reserved through the big booking platforms rather than a staffed front desk — ask for the Walnut Suite by name if you want Barney's room. Street parking on East Second Street; the house sits a few blocks from Trinidad's brick-paved downtown, an easy walk. Breakfast tends to be self-serve pastries delivered to your suite rather than a hosted sit-down. Pair the stay with dinner on Main Street, where the brothers once ran the Famous Department Store.
