What an amazing, historical place! It is truly magical, serene, and set back in a charming small town in gold country! Hats off to the new owner/inn keeper who welcomed us with a warm smile. Her knowledge of the property, as well as her journey to recently purchasing the property was a captivating story. The homemade breakfast in the morning was a perfect start to our off roading weekend. We WILL be back!

Our stay at the American River Inn was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and right at home. The historic charm of this beautiful Victorian inn, combined with the peaceful mountain setting, made for a truly relaxing getaway. The rooms were comfortable and full of character, the grounds were beautifully maintained. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine hospitality of the innkeeper. If you’re looking for a unique, relaxing, and memorable bed-and-breakfast experience, the American River Inn is a true gem. We can’t wait to return!

This was my second visit to the American River Inn, which is located in Georgetown (an old mining town in Northern California). The new owner/operator Dawn - is great. There was wine set out for guests & the breakfast in the morning on the veranda is great. My one night there coincided with the towns 170th birthday. The building provides a great sense of history. The rooms are nice & clean. For some, you share a bathroom. That works out fine. The road from Placerville on the east & Auburn on the west is scenic, yet also a bit windy. After two good visits, I look forward to a third in the near future. Tom

Breakfast was really delicious and the girl who cooked it for us was very sweet!! The room did have cobwebs and they didn’t provide any shampoo, conditioner, or soap, which would’ve been nice to know. Overall good stay.

Georgetown Jewel

This is a jewel we found for a birthday trip for my wife. It was like stepping into a piece of history. The decor was amazing. There was a sitting room downstairs where the hosts provided a wine and cheese reception. Breakfast at the big table in the morning was amazing. The room was comfortable and perfect for us. The staff was extremely friendly.

We were bummed that the Hot Tube wasn't working. But other then that, all expectations were met. The Inn was well decorated. We enjoyed some time in the yard. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

6/10 Good

Overall ok, not great

Staff was friendly for sure, and breakfast was good, freshly made. The house had great charm, I appreciate the antiquity of it, the architecture. However, there are things that could be modernized, like the locks on the rooms and bathrooms. 2 of the 3 rooms I booked had increasingly uncomfortable and squeaky beds, no Kleenex in the rooms, the main bathroom we used had nothing to dry our hands after washing them. While the bedrooms were very hot, the hallways and main part of the B&B was freezing.

Decent place, beautiful building

Emailed through their website and through hotels.com, but never got a response. Ended up changing my plans to arrive within the three hour check in. Nothing noted about how to get into the building, ended up having to look up the number and call. This was during check in hours. Staff was helpful, hotel was as expected for an older Victorian. Hot tub was very nice, but make sure you bring your key, or you will be locked out hoping a guest will let you back in.

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed at the Inn with my mother and we shared one of their twin rooms.From the moment I booked the reservation the Inn keeper was very corgal, she made sure we were taken care of, I needed to make sure we had a private bathroom, some of the rooms share bathrooms and I explained I was trave!ing with my mother and didnt want any suprises when she was utilizing the bathroom. She was happy to reserve a twin with a private bath. The breakfast for each morning, we stayed 3 nights, was a gormet breakfast and made me realize I missed the experience of staying in a B& B. I usually stay in Hiltons and most of the time the breakfast, when it is free , is nothing to right home about. I would highly recommend staying at the historical Inn and will definitly return when I am in the area.
