Bethany’s - Charming 4-bedroom Historic Home in Downtown Jackson
Welcome to Bethany’s, a beautifully preserved historic home located in the heart of downtown Jackson, California. Built in 1877, this one-of-a-kind property offers a warm and comfortable stay infused with Gold Country history and timeless character.
Inside, you’ll find original architectural details, antique furnishings, and thoughtfully curated décor that reflect the home’s past while providing modern conveniences. The house features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a fully stocked kitchen, central heat and air, WiFi, and inviting spaces to relax and gather. Guests especially enjoy our seasonal Halloween and Christmas décor, as we love celebrating the holidays here.
Like many historic homes, Bethany’s long history has had a past. Some guests enjoy the home’s haunted reputation and unique atmosphere, while others simply appreciate it as a charming and memorable place to stay—the experience is entirely what you choose to make of it.
Due to the home’s historic design, it may not be suitable for small children or guests with mobility challenges, as original features such as staircases and thresholds may not meet modern accessibility standards.
Located just steps from downtown Jackson, you’ll have easy access to local shops, antique stores, dining, wine tasting, and nearby Gold Country attractions.

We enjoyed some of the great features of the home. the kitchen was well equipped and a great place to gather as a family. The convenience to downtown, especially the Blue Door Bakery was a real highlight.
While a little creepy with the tales of ghosts and matching decor the house was very well maintained and extremely clean. Great walking distance to old town Jackson with bars and restaurants. Host was amazing and very communicative. We would stay here again for sure. Thank you!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The location is easy walking distance to downtown Jackson. The house is funky enough to make it fun and interesting but it is still very comfortable and accommodating.
Place was clean. It was one of the most well equipped places I have stayed in. The kitchen had everything! Plenty of space. We were 6 adults and one 9 year old. Good communication from host.
My family and I loved spending Thanksgiving at this beautiful home. So close to the Casino and wineries.
Elsie was a wonderful hostess, very quick to address any questions or concerns.
Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your big and beautiful home.
The perfect place to stay for a summer reading retreat
We have absolutely nothing but love for this haunted humble abode. The house itself is charming and welcoming, the beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning is cool throughout the house. Elsie’s personal touches make the rental feel like a cozy home away from home . The memories we made during our stay will last a lifetime! I can’t recommend this property enough!!
This house is incredible! I would give it 10 stars if I could. It is beautiful, exceptionally clean, stocked with everything you could ever need, and beautifully spooky! The house is only a block to antique stores and wonderful restaurants! If you ever get the chance you should take a trip to Jackson and stay in the house. I never wanted to leave.
We so enjoyed our stay! The house did not disappoint! Not only was it immaculate, it was decorated for Christmas. There were treats in the kitchen, a full hot cocoa bar and all the makings for a delicious cup of cider, tea or coffee. Although there is definitely a spooky ambiance, we did not experience anything out of the ordinary.
10 out 10; would stay again.
Thank you Elsie, you were an amazing host!
The property is charming and as stated in the listing. the main issue were ants throughout, which should have been sprayed for or notify us that we would need to spray.
Elsie is very responsive to any needs or questions.
Everything that you look for in a historic, antique, (haunted), house - this place has. It is absolutely gorgeous and mystifying, and Elsie made the entire process smooth and seamless. Very attentive to guests and the house, and the property is literally 2 blocks walk away from historic downtown Jackson. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could need, including Keurig, hot cocoa bar, wine glass and bottle openers in addition to a complete set of cookware, dishes and utensils - as well as recommendations for local eateries and places to visit. The library is a wondrous place to relax and wind-down, and the living room has 3 full dresser drawers of board games and party games, some never even opened. This place is a treasure, and we will definitely be back.
I stayed here one night for a quick birthday girls' trip with my sister and our friend. We were so impressed by how beautiful this house is, everything is meticulously put together but it has a cozy, lived in feeling that's perfect for Autumn nights. It was such a treat to stay here during Halloween season and have the cute/spooky decorations up! The kitchen is well stocked, the bathrooms are really nicely recently redone, the beds are extremely comfortable. This was a perfect place to kickback after a day of wine tasting and exploring the charming Jackson main street. Rosebud's cafe was a standout for brunch! My group likes to be in a location that's walkable, so it was great for us that there are quite a few restaurants and a grocery store within a short walk. It was a luxurious space for the three of us, but would definitely be comfortable for a larger group. Elsie is a wonderful host, she's super communicative and readily provides helpful tips for enjoying your stay in the area - the guestbook was especially impressive! We hope to be back!
Really, really good experience! Elsie, the property owner, is so so nice and super responsive, which was incredibly helpful when I was bringing my 4 kids to the house on a last-minute snow trip. We had a lot of fun playing the board games with our older kids and had a lovely bonding experience at the house. The place is enormous - the photos don't do it justice. There is a really cool library of books that my kids enjoyed. The kitchen was well-stocked and Elsie left a wonderful basket of snacks, which my kids were super excited to try. (Pop-tarts at 10pm - yay!)
