;
436 Main St; apt $129-169; )
Staying in this beautifully renovated 1908 Clinch building, overlooking the small main
drag of Quincy's downtown, feels just right, like renting the village's cutest apartment.
The warmly decorated rooms are modern - no fussy clutter - and apartments have spa-
cious, modern kitchens, claw-foot tubs and gas fireplaces.
Ada's Place
B&B
( 530-283-1954;
www.adasplace.com
;
562 Jackson St; cottages $100-145; )
Even though it has the feel of a B&B, it's a bit of a misnomer. Without breakfast, Ada's is
just an excellent B. No problem, as each of the three brightly painted garden units has a
full kitchen. Ada's Cottage is worth the slight extra charge, as its skylights offer an open
feel. It's very quiet and private, yet right in town.
Greenhorn Guest Ranch
RANCH
( 800-334-6939;
www.greenhornranch.com
; 2116 Greenhorn Ranch Rd; per person per day incl trail
rides from $258; May-Oct; )
Not a 'dude' ranch but rather a 'guest' ranch: instead of shoveling stalls, guests are
pampered with mountain-trail rides, riding lessons, even rodeo practice. Or you can just
fish, hike, square dance and attend evening bonfires, cookouts and frog races - think of it
like a cowboy version of the getaway resort in
Dirty Dancing
.
Before you raise an eyebrow at the price, note that meals and riding are all included.
