Summary
Welcoming guests as a B and B for over 30 years, The Old Pioneer Garden Country Inn is located within an oasis of Northern Nevada's high desert. The Old Pioneer Garden Country Inn -- a lodge that owners Lew and Mitzi Jones have refurbished without compromise to its authenticity -- accommodates guests with 11 rooms, six with private baths. If you are celebrating a family reunion or other group occasion, the entire Inn is available for rent.
The inn was built in 1861 the same year that silver prospectors toured the area and established the village of Unionville. Among those seeking fortune in those early days was Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain). His Unionville cabin remains standing. Today, most visitors come to this ghost town of about 20 inhabitants just to see Twain's cabin and then move on, but there is so much more.
Meals are served at the Jones' place around a long wooden table in Mitzi's kitchen. When weather permits, diners trek out back to the gazebo or gather around a picnic table. The ranch yields its own produce, fruits, eggs, and milk products, and Mitzi's healthy home-cooked breakfasts are included in you room rate. Dinner is available at a reasonable price. While Mitzi's in the kitchen, Lew can often be found outside. One of his favorite pastimes involves teaching guests, especially their children, the fine arts of goat milking and goose egg hunting.
