Journey into the historic Volcano Union Inn, a testament to Sierra Foothills’ rich past, and a beacon of contemporary California hospitality. Located in the idyllic village of Volcano, within the scenic terrains of Amador County and the illustrious California Gold Country, the inn unfurls stories from the Gold Rush era while providing a haven for modern adventurers.
The Past and Present of Volcano Union Inn
The Volcano Union Inn, a prominent landmark in Volcano, Amador County, is a testament to the 1880s architecture. Crafted by four French Canadian visionaries for just $400, it served as a refuge for miners and the local community of Volcano during its early years. As decades passed, the inn traversed through multiple phases, from being bustling with activity in the 1950s to experiencing moments of quiet. The dawn of the 21st century brought a revitalization, thanks to the David/Burney Family’s restorative efforts. Since 2009, this Amador County gem has emerged as both a buzzing hub for the residents of Volcano and a must-visit attraction for those exploring the county.
Today, it stands proud as a blend of California Pub and a Four-Room Bed and Boutique. Guests can luxuriate in the four modern yet cozy rooms that whisper tales from the past. Every corner, every brick, every beam has a story to tell.
