Our stay was delightful. My husband and I were the only guests for our one night stay. We chose a room with a private bath and were also given a room with an air conditioner. We were on the second floor. There were three "shared" bathrooms there. One was open and was quite modern compared to the bathroom in our room. The Inn is quite large and it is filled with antiques and so many other  interesting things. Our hostess was charming. We enjoyed talking with her as we had cheese, fruit and wine in the afternoon. Breakfast was delicious with orange juice, fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, an English muffin and coffee. There is WiFi and parking is on the street.

A Beautiful Historic Building

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the American River Inn. It was like stepping back in time. The period furnishings throughout the inn were beautiful. Breakfast each morning was exceptional. We made ourselves at home even inviting local friends in for wine before dinner. Jason and his staff attended to our every need. We look forward to our return. Dick & Kate

Wonderful experience 

I really struggled whether to give this property an "Average" or a "Very Good". I chose "Average" because one interaction with a staff member during our stay. That being said, it is a lovely property and I do not dissuade readers from staying at the property. The interaction I had was hopefully isolated.  

The property is very well maintained, the rooms are clean and overall the property is absolutely lovely. I especially enjoyed the evening sitting in the living room space on the first floor. The room has two pianos, the wood stove was nice and cozy. 

Upon our arrival, Jesse greeted us, showed us around and was overall very great!  That evening an older woman said she was going to adjust my rate higher because I was in a shared bathroom, but using it as a private bathroom. Though, there were very few guests  at the property. I was taken aback by this. I did end up speaking with the woman again and she agreed not to charge me a higher rate. She asked that I leave a good tip for the housekeeper, which I did. 

I totally get running a property is very very difficult and I definitely am more than happy to support the business. I was just a bit disappointed with the interaction I had. I would have been agreeable to pay the higher rate, if I had been approached more hospitably. That being said, after talking with the woman, I do feel we came to a consensus. My stay was flawless up until that point. I went back to my room shocked. 

I didn't get to meet the owners and I suspect the woman was one of the owners mother. I get the job is tough and running a business is very difficult.  I appreciate the opportunity to stay at such a beautiful, historic property in a cute town. I wish the best to the property owners,.

Great Stay, minus one interaction with staff

Experience going back to the late 1800's in an adorable Victorian inn. The rooms were all decorated with the times. The staff were superb and attentive to all your needs.  They offered  more than one bed if you need it.The food was great.The local bar offered live entertainment.

Experience the late 1800's in a Victorian Bed and Breakfast.

Our room was comfortable. Some loud partier noise from the street on Fri and Sat nights though it didn't keep us from sleeping. Breakfast on the porch was lovely. The only wrinkle in our stay was that Saturday evening I came in from the day and was chatting with the innkeeper and two other folks she was hanging out with. I mentioned I was from Oakland and each of them proceeded to criticize Oakland in multiple ways. It was unpleasant and disheartening to say the least. Not a way to be with your guests.

Cozy and gracious but watch what you say

We wanted a weekend getaway, and prices were expensive everywhere. I decided to search off the beaten path, and discovered this great value in the hidden town of Georgetown. Only an hour and a quarter from downtown Sacramento, the town feels like big cities don't even exist. The air was clear and smelled like snow (even though there was no snow visible anywhere). 
The price of the room was about half what I saw in the Sacramento metro area, and it included breakfast! 
The hotel dates from 1853, and has been restored semi-authentically to that time period. Antiques abound throughout, some tasteful, others quirky, but all good. Most rooms share a bathroom with others, which was fine. The shower was a claw-foot tub with a curtain enclosure. It is an 18-step stairway to most of the rooms, but I did see that there are a couple of ground-floor rooms as well. Keep in mind that there are no televisions in the rooms, or anywhere else! This is a good place for a true, quiet getaway. I imagined myself as a famous author on a writing retreat (Murder, He Wrote). 
Guests are expected to keep the front door locked, and are supplied with a key for doing so, in addition to the room key. Rooms do not have a deadbolt; just a doorknob lock. 
In the morning all us guests gathered in the sitting room; I was surprised at how many guests there were (about 10 couples), since I hadn't heard anyone all night. We enjoyed discussing the supposedly haunted rooms, but none of us had experienced anything metaphysical. We moved into the dining room for breakfast, which was outstanding. We enjoyed coffee, tea, and orange juice while eating individual egg and vegetable souffles, toasted English muffin, and fresh fruit. Checkout was at noon, so we felt like we could take our time and lounge a bit.
The hotel staff was friendly, polite, and helpful, from the innkeeper to the young workers. 
You can see in my picture that they're working on the place, redoing the roof, as well as part of the exterior. There was no activity while we were there, so it was not a problem. I suspect that the work is limited to weekdays only.
There were several restaurants within walking distance, as well as interesting gift shops and an art gallery. The town hosts a jeep event each year in July, and I suspect the town is crowded on that weekend. Our weekend in March was wonderfully quiet. I recommend the American River Inn for an easy-to-get-to, but away-from-it-all retreat.

Great Stay and Great Value

This little gem sits in a *tiny* little town and we would have missed it altogether if we hadn't gone river rafting close by. This is the oldest B&B we've ever visited and it is beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious and they were excellent in making sure my husband, who has strict food allergies, had a delicious breakfast as well.
The only drawback is we were on the 3rd floor (definitely got our steps in!) which had a LOT of stairs! You will also most likely need to drive to a restaurant for dinner as all but one of their restaurants were closed (July 2021).

Beautiful Historic Inn

Truly beautiful! This Inn is a historical landmark. Built in 1853 and trapped in a beautiful Victorian style. It's like going back in time. The customer service is really amaizing. The small time feel of these private owners makes it such a warm cozy atmosphere. They are right there to assist you or go over some of the history that riddles this amaizing place. They even have a ghost story attached to one of the rooms that has been documented in a hunted America book. If you are interested ask about or Google Oscar the Love Sick Ghost. in Every room is a different but glorious Victorian adventure. It is a clean and relaxing place from sitting in the living room listening to the music of the erra to the home-cooked country meals served with a smile in the dining room. The tiny city of Georgetown is where this landmark sits. The town also has this old fashion flair. I will be back and suggest you visit as well. You will not regret it.

Most Beautiful Historic Inn

We have never been to a B/B before and what a wonderful and exciting time we had. Out in the mountains like back home where we come from, plus the Inn reminded me like my Grandparents place. Everyone there was fantastic we stayed in the claw tub room with a private bath and loved it with no TV it was wonderful. And can't wait to go back again, oh ya there breakfast is fantastic. Great Place

Wonderful

2nd time visiting!!!! This place is amazing and the Staff is exceptional!!! Jason and Janine truly make you feel welcome, that this is your home away from home. We had a cocktail hour in the Parlor with a group of friends who were not staying at the inn. Jason and Janine were so hospitable and accommodating to us, they even served us wine and appetizers. The Inn is amazing, so beautiful and so well kept! Jason has so much pride in the Inn and it shows. It takes a lot of dedication to keep an Historic building such as this running and Jason has done major renovations over the last year. 
If your considering visiting just stop and do it, you will not be disappointed!!!
