The main house has three rooms to offer: Lover's Fancy, the Flower Garden Room and the Oak & Rose Room. Upstairs, 
Superior Bed & Breakfast
The Fleming Jones Homestead Bed & Breakfast Inn is a charming historic 1883 homestead and working horse ranch on 11 acres nestled between art and antique filled Placerville and famous Apple Hill. The bunk and main houses reflect comfortable furnishings and period antiques. Rates include full breakfast, welcoming treats, all have private bathrooms and all rooms air-conditioned. Dogs are welcome in the bunkhouse by reservation. We invite you to enjoy the "Pharms" many comforts or use it as a home base while exploring the local California Gold Country or Lake Tahoe Regions. We are the closest bed & breakfast to both the Fairplay and Apple Hill wine regions and about 40 miles away from both Sacramento and Lake Tahoe; 3023 miles west of Ocean City, MD. Voted One of the Top Ten B&B's; Best for Stargazing in 2004; Best Customer Service for 2005; and Best Kept Secret in 2006! And of course, we have WI-FI (wireless internet) available free of charge! For those who prefer to keep up with news the hard-copy way, you will find The Wall Street Journal and Sacramento Bee plus our local Mountain Democrat available.
Room Descriptions
The separate bunkhouse is located but a few paces away from the main house and has a private deck overlooking the horse pastures in the back. It has two separate rooms with private bathrooms, which can either be reserved separately or together as a suite. Old-fashioned cast iron tubs enhance the bunkhouse's western theme of this former working cattle ranch that supplied Placerville prospectors and pioneers with food and produce. On one side of the bunkhouse is the room called the Bunkhouse Room and this has a full sized bed. The other half of the bunkhouse building holds the Woodshed Room. Woodshed pictures coming soon and this has a Queen sized bed.
So What's For Breakfast?
While our menus are ever changing, our breakfasts include traditional beverages (coffee, tea, choice of juices, hot cocoa and etc), fresh seasonal fruit, muffins/scones/breads, a main dish which could be an egg dish/french toast/pancakes/waffles and bacon/sausage. The "Pharm" chef sometimes adds suprises like Lemon Panna Cotta with Blackberry Sauce or fresh Orange Mint Sorbets. More like brunch, we delight in tailoring our menus to your likes/dislikes if warned in advance and particularly appreciate knowing of any dietary restrictions, so that we can make your stay as pleasurable as possible. Our dishes are whipped up with fresh ingredients - many right out of our own garden or from the local Apple Hill growers. For some examples of morning treats, click here.
2013 Room Rates
2013 room rates shown below INCLUDE the 10% county occupancy tax, full breakfasts and reflect DOUBLE occupancy, so what you see is the total room price per night with the following three exceptions:
1) Lover's Fancy does have a day bed that a third party could occupy for an additional $33.00 per night.
2) Prices are reduced for single occupancy and $10 is added to one night stays (NO minimum stays are required).
3) Those guests with dogs (allowed only in bunkhouse and not in main house) are charged an additional $11.00 ($10 + 1.00 tax)per dog per night plus any cleaning or repair fees incurred during the stay.
NOTE: If you book directly with us and have a family member belonging to the DAR or SAR, let us know your chapter number and we will send in a donation check for 10% of your stay with us to your chapter!
SPECIAL: We realize that not everyone is up to eating a full breakfast in the morning. For those who want only a light something, we also offer a $25 off per couple per room night - just ask for the Italian Breakfast Special at the time of booking. If you don't ask, it is assumed you are going for the full gourmet breakfast experience. This offer is ONLY available directly from the proprietors - not through any online booking and if you are taking the combined Bunkhouse-Woodshed Suite, it is a total reduction of $35 for 3 or more people ($25 for two).While in Italy, we were consistently treated to lovely coffee (or tea) and fresh baked goods for breakfast. So, we are offering those who would prefer a light meal of simply a continental breakfast comprised of that morning's fresh homemade baked goods and your choice of beverages. While our "Pharm" Chef is a fabulous bakery chef, breakfast entrees are not to be sneezed at. So, should you change your mind while you are here and let us know the night beforehand, you are most welcome to join in on the full brunch-like experience and we'll add the $25 back into the room price.
Please call or email us, your hosts and innkeepers - Mark or Robin Miller, as we would be delighted to send you a brochure, give you more details or help you set up a reservation.
