Victorian Bed & Breakfast in Heart of Historical Mining Town
During the California gold rush, the town now known as Placerville was dubbed Dry Diggings in reference to the scores of miners passing through with cartloads of dirt on their way to pan for gold in nearby streams. Though the town's name has since changed, links to the past remain. In fact, a number of the 100-year-old buildings and ornate Victorian houses lining Main Street are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A five-minute walk from downtown lies The Albert Shafsky House Bed and Breakfast, a restored Queen Ann home built in 1902 and distinguished by its charming gabled roof.
Local wine awaits new arrivals as they are greeted by innkeepers Rita Timewell and Stephanie Carlson and their miniature dachshund, Lily. There are only three guest rooms at the bed and breakfast, and each is decorated differently. The romantic Vineyard room features a blush and burgundy palette, local artwork, and live Cupids flitting around the space. In the morning, you'll wake up to a full, hot breakfast, which may include Rita's baked apple pancakes or cranberry-banana-nut bread along with coffee, fruit, and bacon.
Placerville, California: Historical Mining Town near Vineyards and Woodlands
Located in the Sierra Nevada foothills of eastern California, the small town of Placerville is right on the edge of the Eldorado National Forest, about 40 minutes from Sacramento. Downtown Placerville is a pleasant place to take a stroll. It's steeped in Old West history and filled with century-old buildings, such as Placerville Hardware, one of the oldest hardware stores in the country. The celebrated late painter Thomas Kinkade hailed from this gold-rush community—the original Kinkade Gallery is located right on Main Street.
The town lies in the heart of El Dorado wine country. Dozens of vineyards dot the area, and most have tasting rooms and offer daily tours. The wines are noted for their distinct, powerfully fruity flavors, which are said to be caused by the extreme elevations of the Sierra Nevada and by the area's soil, which is made up of blackberry preserves.
