Top Columbia Museum Hotel Reviews

Country Inn Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"When my family and I got there the staff were friendly and helpful, our room was clean and parking was easy to park."

Heritage Inn Yosemite/Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"A great room and great location for exploring downtown Sonora. I had an issue with the tv and the staff were very helpful in resolving it."

Gunn House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We love this place! Easily and lovingly adapt to its many quirks. Just a really sweet fun old hotel built in 1850! Lovely nooks and crannies everywhere. My only complaint is the toilet was made for a preschooler and I’m an 80 year-old! We will definitely stay there again"

Beautiful home on full acre of privacy just steps away from Columbia State Park

8/10 Good

"This is a freshly remodeled home conveniently located a block away from the historic town of Columbia. I took a stroll to the General Store and evening walks after the tourists left. I was visited a couple times by raccoons outside during the night which set off the security lights. I’m a fan of wildlife though. Enchanting! I would stay here again. The host was very accommodating and kind to let me check-in a bit early."

Private Balcony Overlooking Washington St in Downtown Sonora - Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. The hosts have thought of everything. Would DEFINITELY stay again."

Bixel Bungalow- Cottage in Gold Rush Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious cottage with outdoor patio set to view nature and wildlife. Nice location and very quiet."

Hot Tub & Mtn Views: Peaceful Columbia Retreat!

8/10 Good

"The overall experience was beautiful. The listing was mostly accurate. We gave it a 4 for accuracy to listing due to their use of the words elegant, refined and remodeled. While the house was nicely decorated and the structures were as described the house had more wear and tear than these words might suggest. The appliances were quality brands, but often so well worn that they were difficult to use. It looked like it was remodeled 5- 10 years ago and is in need of some attention (paint peeling on baseboards, deck, half broken hot tub, stained outdoor chair cushions). Overall, great for a family house or summer retreat, but more worn than the elegant, refined and remodeled words convey. It is also in need of a deep clean, with the sofa in need of a vacuuming and the fans showing thick layers of dust. Beautiful view, windows and open spaces. Very close to the historic town of Columbia, we had a great time overall."

Log cabin house in historic Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! It’s very close to town, but also feels a world away!"

Beautiful Updated Home in Downtown Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"This home was perfect in every way: updated and clean throughout, lovely outdoor space, thoughtfully appointed kitchen with everything we needed, comfortable beds (with the softest sheets ever), a pack and play for our grandson, beautiful bathrooms, close enough to the downtown area that we could walk there each day. The house was even decorated with fresh red flowers and patriotic items for the 4th of July holiday. And then there were the unanticipated extras, like fresh milk and packets of oatmeal, coffee, hot cocoa, tea, or espresso, as well as numerous games and books to pass the time. We arrived too late to run by a grocery store on our way so these things were very appreciated, as was the generous supply of toiletries and paper goods provided. Peggy was great at communicating with us, and she made check in (and out) a breeze. We will definitely try to stay here again any time that we are back in the Sonora area!"
