Fodor's Expert Review Weaverville Hotel

Originally built during the gold rush, this restored hotel is filled with antiques and period furniture. Each of the seven rooms is named after a Trinity County gold mine; all have luxurious linens and towels, and most have claw-footed tubs and fireplaces. Only one room has a television, but guests usually prefer to spend their time exploring the area's mountains, lakes, and hiking trails. Breakfast isn't served, but for each day of their stay guests receive vouchers worth $10 at nearby restaurants.
