Children        Welcome

The Hotel Jeffery is located in Coulterville, California on the newly designated historic hwy 132 which is the shortest, safest and most scenic route to Yosemite from the bay area. Located in the gold country of northern California, the hotel is approximately 28 miles from Yosemite National Park.

The Magnolia Saloon which a part of the Hotel Jeffery, is the oldest working saloon in California, complete with the original "bat wing" doors and is one of only a few saloons to still have them.  Coulterville is considered the hub for many of the areas attractions and historical

sites. The hotel has entertained many famous guests including Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain, John Muir and others. We must not forget to include our "other" guests as well.  The Hotel Jeffery has long been known as a haunted hotel with many different ghosts still roaming the halls and rooms.  There is said to be 17 ghosts, most of which are not malevolent.  Ghost detecting kits are available but need to be reserved in advance.

Please note:  This hotel having been built in 1850, is a hotel full of the charm of the old west.  It is not a luxery hotel and is operated as a combination hotel and Bed & Breakfast, being closed at night and not available for check-in 24/7. It is filled with antiques, artifacts and memories.  The guest rooms are small, some larger than others, some with baths in the rooms, others not (you have to share).  But, the rooms are uniquely decorated, high quality sheets and spreads and plush bathrobes for those rooms that get to share the bathrooms with other guests (these rooms are also very economical).  We have hair dryers available for everyone as well as various toiletries (in case you forgot to pack something).  Housekeeping will provide laundry service upon request.
