Beautiful property, attentive staff, and excellent meals. Arrived on Friday, May 15, 2026 and we immediately impressed with the overall beauty of the property and the views of Sonora below. The building is decorated in as a comfortable 1920's era motif. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and surprisingly quiet considering the close proximity. Meals were delicious and served on period china. Staff is attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be back.

This was a definite Experience!!! The Inn was beautifully curated in furnishings of the 1920’s. It felt like stepping back in time. Breakfast was incredible. The host not only provided a perfectly presented gourmet breakfast but also gave an interesting history of the Inn. The property is far enough up the hill to be away from the noise of the Main Street but close enough to all of the eclectic little shops and dining options. This will most definitely be a stay we will repeat and recommend for years to come.

Amazing Breakfast; Comfortable Rooms

Amazing, specially prepared gourmet breakfasts by the host. Very fun to sit at breakfast table with other guests. The breakfast is served at 9 am so you can't just grab it and go if you're there for sightseeing. But the food is wonderful! Interesting history behind the house which the host shares. Beautiful rooms.

The Inn is beautiful. The room was very romantic with a luxurious feel. Some of the rest of the property could of used a wipe down. The sun room had spider webs on the seats and the outdoor tables hadn't been wiped clean. Regardless of these observations, the property is beautiful with a very calm, and peaceful vibe.

The unfortunate part of the stay was the rudeness of 1 set of guests that made a point to say the were regulars on several occassions. They walked around liked they owned the place with lack of consideration for other guests. They chain smoked right outside the front door so you couldn't even exit without having to smell their cigarettes. I was on a mini honeymoon and wanted a quiet, romantic evening with my new husband and was forced to listen to these guests go up and down the stairs to go outside to chain smoke. The front door has a pin pad lock so every 20 minutes when they came back inside, we had to listen to the loud mechanism of the pin pad that unlocked the front door, as our room was the one on the first floor.

There was romantic music playing in the front living room all night, which I found lovely. I really enjoyed a quiet moment here, sharing chocolate covered strawberries with my husband while wearing the complimentary terry cloth robes - until those rude guests appeared again to smoke. Ugh!

Let's talk about that fantastic gourmet breakfast - WOW! What a great way to start the day. Best morning meal I have every had.

I had a wonderful stay at this bed and breakfast! From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed and at home. The hosts were warm, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The room was eautifully decorated, and very comfortable.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious—fresh, homemade, and with lots of thoughtful touches. The location is also perfect: peaceful and relaxing, yet close enough to shops, restaurants, and local attractions.

I truly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, charming, and relaxing getaway. I can’t wait to come back!
