Thayer's chef  and owner, 

Sharon Gammell 

Like Caroline Thayer in 1895 (Thayer's first lady), Sharon Gammell is a talented hostess and chef who is happy to accommodate her guests with a flexible menu, wonderful staff and extraordinary surroundings.

Sharon Gammell is a self-taught gourmet chef of 30 plus years. She has had successful restaurants in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota and over the years has catered to groups as small as 2 and as large as 1,500.  Her psychic career spans 38 years plus also, and she has clients thru-out the United States. Sharon offers private readings and classes in psychic awareness.

In 1993, when Gammell's purchased the Thayer, the dining area was still managed by another party. Finally in late December 1994, they were able to incorporate the dining area into the bed & breakfast and offer guests an outstanding dining experience. Dining at Thayer's had become an event!

The food style, taste and presentations at Thayer's are amazing. Gammell cooks without recipes and has an eye and imagination for delightful twists to tempt your palate. She can take the ordinary to new and extraordinary. Preferring traditional to trendy, her food takes on a comfortable and familiar persona, but don't be fooled, her food is not traditional.

As the owner of Thayer's, Sharon Gammell wears many hats. She is an innkeeper, psychic, chef, bookkeeper, decorator,  maid, supervisor, wedding officiate, and perfectionist so, whether she happens to be making you hot chocolate or a coffee, cooking your dinner, doing a reading, making your bed, or serving your breakfast, rest assured everything will meet her high standards.
