Albert Shafsky House B&B

Very nice B & B. Lovely home that is beautifuly maintained and decorated. We stayed in Alberta’s Attic. What a treat after the dark crowded place of the night before. It was a light and airy spacious suite with plenty of plugs for phone charging, etc. The breakfast was delicous and Rita seemed like a good friend – willing to chat but not to intrude. And the WiFI worked!

Beautiful, historical B&B. Rita is very considerate & made us feel right at home. Clean home, clean room, delicious breakfast & a warm, comfortable environment. It was everything we had hoped for. What a blessing! We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Rita and Stephanie are wonderful. This was our first B&B experience and these ladies made us big fans. The rooms are spacious and each decorated with its own theme. Definitely check out the photos on their website. I recommend Alberta’s Attic which has its own separate sitting room. I could spend hours in the living room: the woodwork, the décor, the pellet stove. It was wonderful. The hot water in the showers is no joke! We had some cold Placerville mornings but the hot showers did the trick!
Before we stayed, I read some reviews and noticed some people complained about traffic noise but we didn’t notice it at all. While there were cars along that road, it certainly didn’t wake us up. Lastly, the breakfasts! Rita made us several breakfasts, including an eggs benedict that I will pine for and Stephanie made us a kahlua french toast with bananas that we hope to recreate in the future.
Overall, it’s worth the experience. We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at this attractive well kept B&B. Rita made us feel right at home and over a glass of wine in the living room gave us impartial assessment about the local.restaurants. She eats out often to stay informed. It was just a short walk to town from the B&B.
Our main floor room with a king was comfortable and quiet. Upstairs there is one room with a Queen, and another with a single which had it’s own sitting room. All were nicely furnished. The temperature was in the 90’s that day but it was perfectly cool inside.
After the well prepared tasty breakfast the next morning we were ready for our day on the river.
We will definitely stay there again when we are in the area.

Rita and Stephanie… many thanks for a comfortable and caring stay at your B & B. We left only to wonder when we’ll get back there. Rita, your breakfast was beautiful and delicious. Thanks to you both for doing what you do.
Always look on the bright side of life…(I can’t get this out of my head)!

Ever go back to a place time and time again to relive the last awesome experience and hope the magic happens… again? BOOM! This is that place! These Chicks Rock! We have stayed at our ‘home away from home’ over a dozen times in the past 10 years. The Owners deliver a great experience every time. There is a feeling of private and yet a ‘relaxing calmness’ in the house with still plenty to do – the location is incredible. We feel so welcomed every time we stay, just like the first time we stayed there. The Owners have also recommended other local businesses that have always been great, including Grace Patriot Winery; HOT FRESH Apple Donuts (Rainbow Orchards); plus a local restaurant they seem to like the best… every town has restaurants that go through cycles — so to get a real unbiased thought on local eateries really helps to make the entire trip. We have never been disappointed! Truly a great weekend experience. Just show up and smile, treat the place like home. We kind of feel like they’ve become relatives we can visit (and we actually like)!!

Delightful place to stay. We stayed two nights recently and it felt as though we were staying with friends or family. Rita went out of her way to ensure our every need was met. The room was comfortable and the sheets were so soft. Breakfast was gourmet and served beautifully. I left an item behind and after a call to Rita she shipped it to me the very next day. We will definitely stay there again when in the area.

Rita and Steph are not just innkeepers, they are family. We always feel like we are coming home when we visit them. The house is beautiful, the bed is comfortable, the breakfast is delicious, and the hospitality is second to none.

We stayed at the B&B for two nights… we were attending a wedding on Saturday. Beds are really cozy and the sheets are wonderful. Although the house sits on a busy corner, we found this B&B to be quite peaceful and quiet. The breakfasts were delicious, especially the apple pancakes. We enjoyed Lily also. I would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the Placerville area.

We stayed at the Shafsky House over Labor Day Weekend. The house is very quaint and we were extremely happy with our room. The 2 breakfasts we had were absolutely delicious! Rita is wonderful. She had great suggestions for places to have dinner and places for us to visit while we were in the area.

I absolutely adore this quaint house! Each room is decorated beautifully! Rita and Steph definitely make you feel at home and welcome… Not to mention their amazing breakfasts! It made us want more for sure.
The beds were very soft and comfy, the room was really clean and cozy, and the hospitality was great! We would definitely come back everytime were in the area.
The gandy dancer room was our favorite!!! Love everything about this place and we plan to come back.

Traveling for business. Nice place. Clean, seems somewhat historic and nice service. Marilyn was filling in for owners on vacation and did a stellar job. She cooks a mean breakfast, as well.

My wife and I have stayed at the Shafsky House a couple of times and very much enjoyed ourselves, comfortable beds, beautiful period furnishings, and super clean.
Rita made us a yummy breakfast! We have referred the Shafsky House to our friends and family and they enjoyed their stays as well.

Stayed at the Albert Shafsky house for my girlfriends birthday. The room was very cozy and Rita (home owner) was very helpful. She gave us a great recommendation for dinner and even made us a reservation. The house is located just a short 5 minute walk from the downtown strip. Next time we are in Placerville we will be staying here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. We have stayed at quite a few Bed and Breakfast, and this is one of our favorites. It has a very welcoming and warm atmosphere in nice victorian style home. The sheets are suppppper soft. It is in a 5 minute walking distance to the little main street that is filled with great little shops and restaurants. Breakfast here is sooooo wonderful. lilly the pup and super sweet. My husband loved the Boeger wine. We loved hanging out with Rita and Steph so much at Rainbow Orchard and Para Vi, which is my favorite. Thank you Thank you Thank you for such an enjoyable visit. Definitely already planning our next trip to see Rita and Steph again. Love Y’all.

Always friendly and warm, I look forward to going back every time. Rita’s breakfast is by far the best B&B breakfast I have ever had.

What a lovely place! My husband and I really could not have asked for more. The room was lovely, the sheets were soft, and the wifi was reliable. There are lovely robes waiting for you to wear– and they aren’t those skimpy little robes that only fit petite people. The home cooked breakfasts were delicious, and were served on lovely china. Our hostess made sure that the food was safe despite my allergy. We will definitely recommend Shafsky house to all our friends.

Loved the place! Me and my husband snuck away for an overnighter (3 teenagers at home) for some R&R. It was perfect. It was very charming and cozy. Clean and well maintained. Walking distance to shopping. Owners were very hospitable and accommodating. Breakfast was creative and delicious. Small and private yet rooms were ample size. Will definitely reccomend to stay here.

My girlfriend and I stayed two nights here. It was our first time staying at a B&B and it warms our heart to say that Rita and Stephanie have been great hosts.
The room was clean and the sheets were soft. Qtips, shower gel and shampoo are available in the room. The décor was all train based in our room and it brought us back to a time when trains ruled the transportation era.
Breakfast was delicious and it brought just the right amount of fullness to start out the day. You can get a cup of tea or coffee whenever you needed it.
The only negative was the road noise from the street but they’ve included earplugs on the nightstand if you need them.
Overall it was a great stay and we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Rita & Stephanie innkeepers are the Best!
Very friendly and accommodating. The B & B is convenient to town, short walking distance over a footbridge. A lot of nice restaurants a short walk from the foot of the bridge. Rita made a great suggestion for each of the three nights we were there. We were greeted with bottle red Wine from Boeger Winery, very nice touch. Especially since we don’t care for white wine. Found time to visit Boeger and bought several more bottles of the Barbera wine.
Room and bathroom were very clean, the sheets were as soft as silk. The bed was very comfortable. I saw the earplugs next to the bed that people have talked about, but we didn’t need them in the Vineyard Room. Loved the décor of the house.
Rita outdoes herself preparing breakfast. Cup of mixed fresh fruit for starters. Scones or apple baked bread follows. Special baked apple pancakes or eggs Benedict garnished beautifully. Could be in a magazine and are delicious. The French toast made with a croissant was delicious.
Lilly, the Miniature Dachshund, is as cute as a button as she tries to be the guard dog.
