2 Best Hotels in Weaverville, The Far North

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.

Near shops and restaurants in Weaverville's historic district and shaded by black locust trees, this Victorian inn has five rooms, two with a shared bathroom. In keeping with the home's period, some have four-poster beds, claw-foot tubs, pedestal sinks, and fabric wall coverings but woo contemporary travelers with comfortable mattresses, free Wi-Fi, and central heating and air-conditioning. The two most popular rooms are the Garden Room—the inn's largest, it has a view of the landscaped courtyard—and the Rose Room, whose furnishings include pieces owned by the grandmother of innkeeper Noelle Roget.
