Power's Mansion Inn

Our Mansion is a Victorian Bed and Breakfast Nestled in the Gold Country. In the early 1880s, more than 20 years after the California gold rush ended and the mines were considered barren, Harold T. Power struck it rich on his family's mine—the aptly named Hidden Treasure. Mr. Power used this fortune to build a lavish Victorian mansion, which occupied a full city block in the heart of gold country and frequently housed Herbert Hoover, then a young mining engineer himself. The estate has since been converted into Power's Mansion Inn, an elegant bed and breakfast filled with period antiques. Owners Alfred and Peggy Lee have undertaken painstaking renovations to preserve the property—including building retaining walls to save a 108-year-old oak tree.
