Welcome to the Carriage House Inn & Events! We are honored to be the stewards of this remarkable property. Our journey with this historic estate began with a deep appreciation for its 1875 Italianate architecture and a desire to share its unique "treasure trove" of details with travelers who value both history and comfort. As hosts, we take a very "hands-on" approach to ensuring your stay is perfect. From personally managing our technical infrastructure to overseeing the modern renovations in our 1910 Carriage House, we are committed to maintaining a space that feels both grand and grounded. We believe that true hospitality is about more than just a beautiful room; it’s about the small details—like ensuring your California King bed is perfectly made and being available to help you navigate our wonderful neighborhood. We are firm believers in the "shop local" spirit of our area. When we are not at the Inn, you can usually find us exploring our local breweries, hunting for vinyl records, or discovering new vintage decor in the old city. We love providing our guests with "insider" recommendations for the best dining and sights within walking distance of our doors. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway in one of our boutique suites or hosting a milestone celebration in our event venue, our goal is to continue the tradition of grace and hospitality started by the Watts family over a century ago. We pride ourselves on creating an environment where the elegance of a bygone era meets the reliability of modern service. We look forward to welcoming you to your home away from home!

A Historic Treasure Trove Step back in time at the Carriage House Inn & Events. Our centerpiece is a stunning Circa 1875 Italianate Mansion, a true architectural treasure trove that has preserved the elegance of a bygone era. Guests will find themselves surrounded by rich, authentic details, including nine original fireplaces, ornate mantels, period-correct light fixtures, and intricately carved woodwork. From the heavy historic doors to the original claw-foot bath tubs and sinks, every corner of the mansion reflects the charm, grace, and hospitality originally established by the Watts family.
