Checking in to Room 208? You might have a roommate!

Guests have often reported the faint scent of floral perfume or finding their luggage neatly rearranged by an invisible hand. It seems some of our past residents loved the room so much, they never truly checked out.

Would you spend the night in our most "active" room.

Meet Stan, our longest-tenured "employee."

Legend has it that Stan, a former front desk clerk from the hotel's early days, never actually checked out. Guests often report hearing piano music or feeling a playful tap on the shoulder near the lobby stairs.

Don't worry—he's mostly just looking for a bit of gossip! Have you ever had a "spirited" encounter during your stay? Tell us your stories in the caption below- or send us a tale for a chance to be featured on our page!

The Jewel of Placerville.

After the great fires of the Gold Rush era, the Cary House was rebuilt in 1857 with sturdy brick and iron to stand the test of time. It wasn’t just a hotel; it was a symbol of luxury and resilience, earning it a sparkly nickname that we still strive to live up to today.
