The Twelve Mile House was a rest stop on the stage line between Monterey and San Jose. As the name indicates, it was located twelve miles south of San Jose in the Coyote area. Twelve Mile House also served the local population as a general store, saloon, hotel and post office. Items for sale are written onto the porch's support posts.
