Carrville's original owners were James and Sarah Carr, who bought the ranch in 1854 when they were on an inspection trip of the original California-Oregon Stage Road, which Mr.Carr was instrumental in building over Scott Mountain. The ranch became one the most popular stops for the stage. Gold and other mining played a big role in the local history which saw Carrville grow to over 2000 people at its peak.
The original building was destroyed by fire in 1917 and was rebuilt the following year with lumber milled on the ranch. A six year restoration was completed in 1988, that saved this historic landmark, bringing it to better than original condition. The beauty and grace which Mrs. Carr found over 165 years ago still enchant all who visit Carrville Inn Resort
From 1997 - 2020, Carrville Inn was owned and operated by David and Sheri Overly. Through their dedication, they maintained the historical life of the resort, while making modern improvements to bring it to its current beauty. The baton was passed in 2020, when two families - each with their own pleasant history - joined together to purchase Carrville, continuing the legacy of those before them, while making it their own.
