We had wanted to stay at the National Hotel in Jamestown (my husband was fascinated by the ghost) but they were booked so we stayed here instead. It was a cute Victorian house with several guestrooms. Our room was barely big enough for us to fit both our suitcases, although the bathroom was huge. The bathroom had two old clawfoot tubs but no shower (one of the tubs had a shower hose and nozzle but there was no shower curtain or place to hang the nozzle to take a real standing up shower). Still, it was kind of fun to be able to take two bubble baths at the same time! The bed was not particularly great quality and we both had trouble sleeping. The breakfast was very good and we enjoyed sitting with the other guests and hearing about their adventures. It's in a great location - just a few minutes walk to the stores and restaurants in Jamestown.

Our family of 14 (ages 10 to over 50) descended on Anita and Ken at the Victorian Gold B&B for our annual family get together. Their rooms are flexible enough to accommodate our various sleeping arrangements (with 3 and 4 persons in some of the rooms) that are not generally found in many B&Bs. They even reconfigured their dining area to accommodate our group for breakfast. One of the morning we had to get to Groveland early for our rafting trip (highly recommended Sierra Mac), Anita gamely cooked a hot breakfast with scramble eggs and sausages for our group of 14 at 7:00 am (we were expecting continental only). Her homemade biscotti was a hit with many midnight cookie raids.

Jamestown is a central location for many activities and by using Victoria Gold as a base we did the aforementioned rafting in Groveland (45 min drive); went to Black Oaks Casino for bowling, casino and buffet dinner one night (20 min); Jamestown for gold prospecting/panning (2 min); Columbia for live theatre (Annie-great cast) (20 min); Sonora for dinner (10 min); Moaning Cavern for ziplining, caving, rappeling (35 min'ish). Would have gone to horseback riding--Ken was trying to arrange for us--but we dawdled and did not decide until the morning of--and could not get a reservation.

We drove by the Groveland and Sonora area accommodations we had considered to stay. Given the location, cost, hospitality, and quaintness, we were very glad to have stayed in Victoria Gold.

Traveling to Yosemite at the height of summer leaves almost no options for close, affordable lodging. This B&B is an hours+ drive to the park but was worth it. The decor was excellent, the food was superb (although too much), and the accomodations very comfortable. The cookies and tea available 24 hours was a nice touch. We never made it back in time to visit the stores in town but did enjoy a few meals at different restaurants (sit outside at the National Hotel for a great dinner). It's a short drive to Sonora.

We recently stayed for four days while visiting Yosemite National Park. I picked the large room , Sunset (?), because it was my wife and son and because, as usual, we way over packed and had a lot of stuff. The room was just right, big and airy and was very comfortable. We slept with the porch door open and the fresh cool air was fantastic. The breakfasts were good but make sure you tell the staff if you have any dietary issues.
It's a bit of a ride to Yosemite, about an hour to the Big Oak Flat Gate, but not a big deal. I would definitely stay here again. It was a bit pricey but for the size of the room it was well worth the money.
