San Jose, CA
In 1903, California architect George Page was commissioned by Mary Hayes Chynoweth, to build a home for the Hayes Family. Intended to provide a triple residence for the Chynoweths and growing families of Mary's two sons, Everis Hayes and Jay Orly Hayes, the sprawling mansion incorporated every modern amenity available, including the latest fire safety features of the era. The Hayes Family sold the property during the 1950s, after which the building remained vacant for some time. Purchased by the City of San Jose during the 1990s, the property was renovated and expanded to its present state.

Claim This ListingFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a B&B and a boutique hotel?
A B&B is typically an owner-operated home with a few guest rooms and homemade breakfast. A boutique hotel is a small, design-focused hotel (usually under 100 rooms) with unique decor, upscale amenities, and a restaurant or bar. B&Bs are more personal; boutique hotels are more polished.
How much do unique stays cost in San Jose?
B&Bs range from $100-$250/night. Boutique and historic hotels run $150-$400/night. Inns are $120-$300/night. Wilderness lodges and resorts can be $200-$600+/night, often including meals and activities. Prices vary by season — summer and fall (leaf peeping) are peak in most regions.
What are the best regions for a B&B getaway?
New England (Vermont, Maine, the Berkshires), California wine country and the coast, the Carolinas and Georgia low country, Colorado mountain towns, and the Pacific Northwest are all exceptional B&B and inn regions. Each offers unique scenery, food, and experiences.
Do B&Bs and inns accommodate families?
Many do, but some are adults-only for a quieter atmosphere. Check the property listing or call ahead. Family-friendly properties often highlight kid amenities, connecting rooms, or cabins. Lodges, resorts, and larger inns tend to be more family-oriented than small B&Bs.
What is the cancellation policy for independent stays?
Policies vary by property — most require 48-72 hours notice for a full refund. Peak season and holiday bookings may require 7-14 days notice or be non-refundable. Always check the cancellation terms before booking. Booking direct (not through aggregators) often gives you more flexibility.
Why book a B&B or inn instead of a hotel chain?
Independent stays offer unique character, local knowledge from owners, homemade food, and often better value. You support small businesses and local economies. The experience is personal — owners recommend restaurants, hidden trails, and local events that guidebooks miss.
