The Swan Levine House, the oldest Grass Valley Bed and Breakfast, has a unique history as a local hospital turned art center. The largest of Grass Valley’s Bed and Breakfasts, this Queen Anne Victorian building sits back on a hill overlooking the town through its grand Magnolia trees. The Bed and Breakfast features four large guest rooms with private baths, sitting rooms and lots of public rooms with a large library and art collection. Check out the August 2008 issue Old House Journal for a four-page spread about the Swan Levine House!

A unique Inn with outstanding ambience -- spectacular views from each room, hearty gourmet breakfasts, private trout pond, soothing sounds of the river - all will enhance your stay at the High Country Inn! High Country Inn is located in western Sierra County, California. We are just off Highway 49, the famous "Golden Chain Highway" that winds its way through the historic California Gold Rush country of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The North Yuba River flows swiftly by, literally at our doorstep. The awesome Sierra Buttes tower above us, providing an incredible backdrop to the beauty of the Inn itself. Our four guest rooms are cozy and charming, comfortably furnished and beautifully decorated.

Built as the city mansion for the Williams family whose ranches were too far from town to be convenient, the red brick Gothic Revival four story landmark termed the 'castle rising upon the hill' in 1859, is singularly unique in style and setting creating the experience of stepping into the 19th century. Meandering garden paths, Koi swimming in a moonlit fountain, Victorian sentiments, ceremony and entertainment transport our guests to that period known as the 'Tasteful Interlude'.
