Step back in time to experience the “Old West” at one of Northern California’s oldest hotels. The Lewiston Hotel has been hosting visitors since 1863, when it first opened as a stage coach stop. Located alongside the picturesque Trinity River in the charming Gold Rush town of Lewiston, The Lewiston Hotel gives travelers a taste of the Old West. Today this historic establishment is a charming and rustic hotel, restaurant, and bar.
The allure of gold brought thousands of fortune seekers to Trinity County, resulting in a population boom and the rapid establishment of businesses to cater to the burgeoning community.
The Lewiston Hotel owners celebrate these stories, and are happy to share them with guests.
In 1863, during the Gold Rush era, the Lewiston Hotel & Stables was established as a stagecoach stop catering to the needs of travelers passing through the town.
With a beautiful two acre lawn overlooking the Trinity River, and plenty of fresh air and a dark night sky, you’ll also want to spend time outside soaking in all the beautiful nature.
The hotel is well-equipped to accommodate groups and they collaborate with other local businesses to arrange activities such as fishing, wine tasting, hiking, and river rafting. We think the lawn would be an ideal place to host an intimate wedding!
In recognition of its historical significance, the hotel earned a place in the National Register of Historic Landmarks in 1988.
As you explore the hotel and town, you can picture the bustling mining community that once thrived in this area, where fortunes were made and lost.
The town of Lewiston is located about 40 minutes west of Redding in Trinity County. Lewiston was originally known as "Louis Town," and was a hub of economic activity during the Gold Rush.
Founded by Frank B. Lewis, a man with a questionable reputation, who met his demise in the Oregon Territory for horse rustling in the 1890s. During the early years of the town’s founding, it no doubt experienced some wild times as part of a new settlement of the “Wild West”.
To book your stay and immerse yourself in the history and warm hospitality of the Old West, consider reserving a room at The Lewiston Hotel through Airbnb. This charming Gold Rush hotel is a special place!
