Bed and Breakfast Description

The home's casual elegance is complemented by rich carpeting, Douglas fir flooring, fresh flowers, and exquisite window coverings and linens. Spacious living areas & porches allow guests to relax and observe horse-drawn buggies touring the Victorian neighborhood.

This charming Victorian, built in 1856, is considered the childhood home to 19th century opera star, Emma Nevada. In the early 1990's, the house was completely restored to reflect its original elegance and beauty. Many antique items were refurbished and modernized, including gas-lit chandeliers, claw foot tubs, transoms, and doors. Rare antique glass windows throughout create a light and airy atmosphere.

At afternoon check-in, tea and home-baked cookies welcome you. Once you settle in, cuddle by the fireplace in the Living Room or enjoy the spectacular Sun Room, which is wonderful for afternoon reading. It has six walls of floor-to-ceiling antique windows and is surrounded by tall trees. Take in the stunning Sierra scenery and lush garden from lounge chairs on the wrap-around front or back porches.

In the mornings, savor a full breakfast served in the Dining Room and Sun Room overlooking the garden. Breakfast includes fresh fruit, juice, freshly baked muffins or scones, special entrees such as tomato Gruyere quiche or blueberry waffles, and Emma's special cobbler. Of course, breakfast always includes freshly brewed coffee or an espresso, cappuccino, latte or mocha.
