 The Blair Sugar Pine Bed & Breakfast in Placerville is a wonderful base from which to explore California's Gold Country.

Historic Placerville is rich in gold rush history and your stay at our bed and breakfast will provide a wealth of activities for a year-round vacation getaway.  

Our inn is located less than 10 miles from where gold was first discovered on the South Fork of the American River in 1848. Visit Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park for a first-hand look at the event that changed California's history. The Gold Bug Mine in Placerville offers tours of a once-rich mother lode.

El Dorado County is also known for its vineyards and wineries, which offer tours and tasting year round. In the fall—or any time— head for "Apple Hill," where you can find countless varieties of fruits and berries, along with pies, cobblers and other pastries. The wineries and Apple Hill are both excellent places to find unique and welcome Christmas gifts.

This gracious Victorian home was built in 1901 by James B. Blair for his sweetheart and wife, Erla Witmer. He was part of the prominent Blair Brothers logging empire, she from a well-known Mother Lode mining family.

James set out on a labor of love, to build a house for her. He built the house of top-quality sugar pine in Queen Anne Victorian style, with a three-story turret, bay windows, and extensive woodwork, including oak and red fir floors.

James and Erla married on December 4, 1901. When the couple returned from their honeymoon in Santa Cruz, Erla planted the redwood seedling she had brought home. Her "Honeymoon Tree" now graces the view from the Lotus Room and can be seen from the Blair Suite turret.

Come visit historic Placerville and the Gold Country, and stay with us at Blair Sugar Pine B&B.
