    A FOUR DIAMOND AAA/SELECT REGISTRY PROPERTY - Pure Elegance in a Wilderness Setting: Nestled in a quiet forest hollow, where majestic California oak, cedar and pine trees mark the edge of the Stanislaus National Forest and Emigrant Wilderness, is the McCaffrey House Bed & Breakfast Inn. A delightfully warm and charming three-story country home, the Inn was designed and built by your hosts, Michael and Stephanie McCaffrey. The home is located high in the California Gold Country, noted for a traditional four-season climate and breathtaking Sierra beauty; all good reasons why the McCaffreys were first lured here some 30 years ago.

    McCaffrey house - A great B&B

    May 06, 2013

    If you plan a trip to Yosemite, stay at the McCaffrey House. The rooms are lovely, the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. It is only 90 minutes drive (but what a beautiful drive). They did recommend some other places not even mentioned in my California book and they were simply gorgeous. Not to mention the breakfast: home made eggs benedict and fresh fruit...a pleasure for the eyes and the palate! Our only regret: we only stayed there one night!

    Nice But Pricey

    April 24, 2013

    The McCaffrey House is a beautiful home and the setting in the woods is beautiful. However, we found it a bit odd that the moment we were shown our room the quilt was immediately removed from the bed and never to be seen again. I didn't even get to take a picture of the room to show the family. The shower was old and needs replacing. The water shot out like a stream rather than a shower. The smoke alarm battery needed replacing and started beeping at 4:30am. No one tended to it until well after 8:30 am. the tiny bottle of shampoo and 1 1/2 inch bar of tiny soap was not replaced and was not sufficient for 2 people for 2 days. The breakfast was awsome and the inn keepers very nice. All in all it was a pleasant stay, but felt it was a bit over priced.

    Great getaway

    February 20, 2013

    We had a great time. The room was fabulous. Its in a great location. Terrific for summer or winter vacationing. Best breakfast i've ever had at a B & B. We especially loved that it was dog friendly (and for big dogs as well), and our dogs had a great time as well. We'll definitely be back. Thanks again.
