Dunbar House Inn and Event Property

Dunbar House Inn and Event Property blends a romantic 1880 Italianate residence with thoughtfully tended gardens to create a refined, versatile setting for celebrations in Murphys, California. Right in the heart of downtown, the property gives planners an elegant base for garden ceremonies, alfresco receptions and intimate indoor dinners, all within strolling distance of tasting rooms and Main Street attractions.

For weddings and private occasions, the grounds offer multiple picturesque locations to shape the day’s flow, from vows beneath mature trees to cocktails on the patio and dining under the stars. The venue welcomes up to 150 guests outdoors, and there is a charming indoor option for smaller gatherings or weather back-up. In-house catering and bar packages simplify planning while still allowing you to bring preferred suppliers, so menus and styling can reflect each couple or brand.

On-site, six individually styled guest rooms provide comfortable lodging for the wedding party or VIPs. For larger groups, the team can coordinate additional accommodation through a nearby sister inn and a collection of local vacation rentals, helping you keep guests close to the festivities. Corporate planners will also find a calm, characterful setting for strategy days, executive retreats and client dinners, with flexible layouts for breakouts across the house and gardens.

With its central location, welcoming team and photogenic backdrop, Dunbar House offers the charm of a historic inn and the functionality event professionals need, making it an appealing choice for weekends of celebration or polished business hospitality in the Sierra Foothills.
