“Stepping into this Mariposa mainstay is like entering a living museum of the Gold Rush era, but with modern comforts artfully integrated. The proprietor's deep knowledge of local history enriches the stay, while the unique décor and veranda offer a relaxing contrast to generic chain hotels. Its prime spot in the historic downtown makes it easy to experience Mariposa's charm.”
