So cool to step back in time. The room was clean, beds comfortable and the staff was helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this spot.

8/10 Very good

The kitchen was a nice feature, but I was only there for a quick overnight stay. The property is an exceptional example of a gold rush era hotel and is well kept, and in the heart of a rustic gold rush town. I recommend a weekend there to experience the incredible history that NorthernCalifornia has to offer. (Heard the place was delightfully haunted!) I seem to be immune to that sort of stuff though…

We have stayed at the Historic Cary House for many years while visiting wine country near Placerville. It is very convenient and walkable to Main Street restaurants and to regional wineries. The hotel is clean and quiet. The front desk manager is very helpful.
