We had a blast on this property for our Fantasy Football draft. Enjoyed the bar and the yard and the kitchen and found the rooms to be comfortable. Great spot!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Avery Hotel. The location is fantastic and the property is both spacious and unique. Our whole party had an amazing time, we can't wait to book again.
The Avery Hotel was a great place for our extended family to congregate and visit. We enjoyed using the kitchen, the many inside spaces, as well as the wonderful backyard. The host was easy to deal with and accommodating!
Family reunion for 19 people,all stayed on the property. A great venue that's close to Big Trees, Moaning Caverns Columbia and more.
Terri the owner was awesome.
This is a perfect spot for a friends / family reunion. We took advantage of the caterers Terry recommended, for a few meals, and we also ate at good restaurants nearby for other meals. Murphys, a small town nearby, is very nice and has a beautiful playground by the river.
This is my second time at Avery Hotel, and my friends and I again had an amazing time! It is such a great spot with so many fun activities on site and nearby - I recommend going to the lake for a day if it's warm out! Terry is really responsive and flexible. 10/10 would recommend!
This place has been a true discovery! located in a beautiful area of the Sierra Nevada, the Avery Hotel is full of charm and character. The innkeeper was so nice and helpful I wish I had more stars to give her. Now I am hoping I can get another large group to rent it again!
We had family here for a wedding weekend. It was a wonderful weekend. The staff was fabulous, the manager was very attentive.
It was a beautiful wedding weekend. I’ll be back!
My friends and I had an amazing time at the Avery Hotel and took advantage of all that it had to offer (the bar, the lawn for lawn games, BBQ, etc.)! It's also a short drive to White Pines Lake which was nice to cool down in. Terry was an incredible host and let us check out the property a few months beforehand, and was flexible in addressing all of our needs. We will be back!
We were a group of 22 friends. Ten kids and 12 adults. Most of the kids aged 7-9 loved bunking together in the big bunk room. A few of the younger ones wanted to be near moms and the second bunk room had twin mattresses that were easily relocated to a double bed room keeping everyone happy.
Avery Hotel is an amazingly eccentric old hotel with everything you need for a fun group party. Inside bar was such a fun spot for the adults and outdoor space is huge and amazing for everyone. The house does have a lot of old black and white photographs which Terry have a nice back story. Some of the kids were a little creeped out at first but got over it by the second day and I think it added to the charm of the hotel.
Bar room is heated by a fire burning stove so you will smell like a campfire at the end of your stay.
There is a middle school up the road with an amazing track and tons of basketball courts. Gate was unlocked so we enjoyed some exercise but not sure if it’s always open or not. There was also a trailer park across the street which led to some late night screaming fights on 1 night but also made for neighbors that won’t call and complain if you’re too loud so I guess you take the good with the bad haha.
We all had an amazing time and really want to go back in the warmer months to enjoy the gorgeous lighted yard space even more.
Thank you for a fun weekend, Terry!
I booked this place to celebrate a
big birthday for my husband with
friends. I loved how many
different areas there were to
spend group time inside and
outside. Whether celebrating
small or a big event, you have
access to everything on the property--outside has a pavilion,
bar with piano and guitar and sitting
areas, a pool table, and TV
area, and more. Kitchen was fun
with an industrial washer that
made cleaning a group's worth of
dishes fast easy and fun haha.
There was a power outage our first morning--area wide--so we
were super happy to be able to
cook our bacon with a wood fire
on the outdoor grill. The kitchen
side of the house had less
reliable hot water and upstairs
water pressure (just affecting one
room) and I suspect this had
something to do with the
dishwasher. But the other side of
the house with the bulk of the
rooms and bathrooms was more
than adequate. And if you're a
person who is bothered by the
kind of things that come with a
building this old, recalibrate your expectations before your stay. I was very pleased by all the little extras--tissue
boxes throughout the house,
dishsoap and sponge in the
kitchen and bar (which I've found
lacking at other rentals so often
that I travel with dishsoap and
sponge now), extra paper towel
rolls, plastic seal baggies, and
abundant culinary supplies. The
group is talking about making this
venue an annual trip destination,
very happy with our stay!
Our family was looking for the perfect place for 19 adults/1 great-grandchild to celebrate our fathers 80th birthday and we found it! We LOVED the features of commercial kitchen, multiple bedrooms and the awesome old time bar! We even planned an old western themed dress up night to take pics around the bar our last last night. Day time entertainment included wine tasting, shopping in Murphys nearby and a car show in Arnold. Would definitely recommend as a fun, unique group get-away location for sure!!
Our stay at the Avery Hotel was incredible. The house was able to handle our 30 guests with ease. We cooked and baked in the industrial kitchen, had late nights playing pool and poker, made cocktails behind the bar (indoors and outdoors), and were able to easily drive to some local trails. Walking to trails was possible but tiring. The house has so much character, we were still discovering new rooms and artifacts on the last day. Terry was incredibly helpful, answered all our questions, made accommodations for some guests, and helped us have night gatherings with an outdoor heater. Terry would pop by sometimes, which was not a problem for us, but if you are looking for complete privacy, I recommend mentioning it.The experience was fantastic, no complaints.
What a grand place to get together with family. We had the run of the 1853 hotel and there were plenty of dishes, pots, pans and glasses for any size group. Everything we needed for our stay was there. And having the entire bar was a blast. Terry was an excellent communicator and responded to every message ahead of our visit. She was there to welcome us and show us around. The photos on VRBO accurately reflect the hotel. The grounds at the back of the hotel provide plenty of room for the kids to run around. There was also a place for a bond fire with plenty of wood and we really had a good time sitting around the fire. We all agree that we would like to visit again.
What an amazing opportunity to stay in a place with such history. A little quirky but that’s half the charm. Terry was helpful and responsive whenever we had a question. Making and cleaning thanksgiving dinner for 22 people was a breeze in the big quasi commercial kitchen, and late nights in the saloon were perfect. Thanks!
Booked the Avery hotel for our wedding day! Amazing experience, Terry the house keeper was amazing and so helpful. The weather was perfect the day of and the setting was spectacular, would gladly recommend this place for events or even just a get away!
We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday at the Avery Hotel. I couldn’t have imagined a more outstanding location. From the very beginning Terry was incredibly helpful wirh planning details, going out of her way to contact local services for me when I wasn’t able to reach them by phone. Once we arrived, the hotel was amazing for us. We were free to celebrate exactly the way we planned: we cooked, we played loud music, we celebrated to the fullest. Terry was not just always available with advice, but also was always there cleaning and organizing after us!!! All of the guests were thrilled to spend a beautiful weekend together in a magical place. Terry is an incredible asset and a wonderful host.
We all enjoyed the pool table and the outdoors a lot.
None of the bedrooms had attached bathrooms which was a bit inconvenient.

Perfect place for a retreat!
We rented this hotel for a weekend retreat. Plenty of beds for everyone. The commercial kitchen is fully stocked and the dining room table comfortably seats 12-14 people. Having enough space allowed everyone to get what they needed from the weekend. The hotel comes with a resident cat but if allergic, Terry will take him out if you let her know. Terry was responsive and fixed issues when necessary. We recommend the hotel for large groups seeking comfortable accommodations.

AMAZING House
This is a gorgeous property with amazing owners. Terry helped us every step of the way and was frequently in communication with me regarding a winter storm. The house itself is gorgeous and has plenty of space for a large group. Couldn't recommend more staying here- it was actually our second time staying! It's also super close to Arnold/grocery store so it's very convenient, but you also still feel like you're secluded and can enjoy the nature.
