The Power’s Mansion Inn in downtown Auburn, dating back to 1884, makes an ideal home-base for a getaway.

It is a well-restored B&B, centrally located in the heart of the Gold Country. It has 15 themed bedrooms, authentic furnishings and a charming lobby with a traditional tea service.

An Irish-themed restaurant and bar, also on the premises, is a fun gathering spot. The Power’s Mansion Inn specializes in wine escapes, which include a chauffeur-driven private bus tour of the nearby wineries for the day.
