Wonderful and beautiful place to stay! Was initially trying to stay at Chicken Ranch but it was all booked so settled here and it was the best decision. Such a great lovely place with beautiful grounds and Rhonda was so amazing and accommodating! Already shared this place with others and will definitely be back again.

This is a unique property. It’s a short walk down the hill to the historic downtown of Sonora. There are large sitting rooms that we were able to use during the day and in the evening. So much more comfortable than a traditional hotel. Wonderful breakfasts included. The furniture and decor are over-the-top late Victorian, but that’s part of the charm.

We loved our stay. The breakfast was sublime. This is a value for a B&B in an historic location. They even have some outdoor cats and a couple ducks for furred and feather vacation friends. We'll be back!

Fantastiskt B&B

En upplevelse att minnas! Rent, snyggt, lyxig inredning. Så mycket vackert att se på detta hotell. Superb frukost med en supervärdinna/ägare som visar stort intresse för oss gäster och den magnifika historiska byggnad de förvaltar väl. Kommer gärna tillbaka!
