Since childhood, Baroness von Schlosser has had a dream of living in a farmhouse and often sketched pictures of what her ideal farmhouse would look like.  Then one night, while surfing on the Internet, she found it. "I instantly knew", she recalls.  "There's my house". "But where", she asked herself, "is Pilot Hill? "  "When I drove up to the gate, I saw that it was even more beautiful than I thought it would be."

Gold rush history abounds in this area. Rumor has it that an old supply route ran along her creek to bring goods from Cool to Coloma.  An old ruin on a nearby parcel is said to have been a brothel.     She expanded the vineyard and added an olive grove.  She placed Provencal lavender plants and stone walls around the Tuscan-style reflecting pool.  A Baroness whose family originated in Transylvania, was born here and grew up in California.  She has always loved the Gold Country and thinks it's the most beautiful part of the state.

"Looking for gold, it's the American dream", says the Baroness, whose parents sought their fortune here after emigrating from Europe.  "There is something about the ruggedness here that I can relate to, something about the energy and the echoes of what occurred here. The hopes and dreams, some got rich, some lost everything."

As Gold Rush memories linger, today birds serenade overhead,  horses peacefully graze and dragonflies and ducks occupy a spring-fed pond.   

When asked why she named this place Enchanted April, she reveals "It's a magical healing place for restorative peace. People can sense there's something here out of the ordinary.  The energy is very restful."

Enchanted April Farm is a lifelong dream born out of a desire to welcome and entertain visitors.  It is a place for people to emotionally, physically or metaphysically restore themselves from the stresses of daily life.

We invite you to come experience the magic of Enchanted April Bed & Breakfast Inn.
