The main veranda of this 1860 Queen Anne Victorian overlooks lush gardens that roll past a rose-covered arbor to the creek below. You can even pan for gold in the creek. All rooms have private baths, as well as king- or queen-size beds. Nevada County wines and a three-course gourmet breakfast are included. Pros: Cozy ambience, relaxing creek sounds, afternoon wine gathering. Cons: Pricey.
