We stay in some pretty interesting places all over the world and we love sharing our experiences with you! We hope you find our Historic Cary House hotel review helpful as you plan your journey. Today we’re sharing our wild west experience in California’s Gold Country, Placerville.
A Look At the Historic Cary House Hotel
Just as many legends had found themselves in Placerville, so did we. And a night at the Historic Cary House Hotel in Placerville, California was just what our ‘Wild West’ adventure needed.
Our Cary House Hotel review follows our journey through the Sacramento Valley and into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It’s there where we found ourselves in Placerville, a historic gold mining town just outside of Coloma where the first gold discovery was made in 1848, and where Robert James, the father of Jesse James, lived his last day.
Naturally, given our predisposition to epic legends and folklore, we knew a fairytale sleep was in order. What we didn’t know is that we were staying in one of the most legendary hotels in all of the Wild West.
About the Historic Cary House Hotel
Before I get into the thick of our Cary House Hotel review, let me tell you a bit about its history. The Historic Cary House Hotel was opened in 1857 by William Cary. At first, this three-story hotel had 77 luxurious rooms.
It was a place where only the wealthiest of people would stay. From famous politicians to gold striking miners, the Cary House Hotel was suited for people with money.
