This place is not only the best place to stay in Sonora, California, but the best you could expect anywhere! I can't say enough about our Hosts, Rhonda and Fred. For the two short days we were there, we felt as if we were leaving good friends when we left. We stayed in the Segerstrom Room, which is huge and... More

We spent three nights at this lovely Inn being taken care of by our hosts, Rhonda and Fred. Our room, the Melvin Belli, was lovely and extremely comfortable. Rhonda made sure our every comfort was provided for. We plan to visit again and will be sure to send our friends to enjoy this wonderful experience. And, I must not forget... More

My wife and I just spent two nights in the Melvin Belli room--splendid! Can't say enough good things about the Inn and Rhonda, the InnKeeper. This is a 6000 sqft mansion that has been lovingly decorated and brought up to date my Rhonda and her husband. Everything is tasteful and sensible. The included breakfast is worth $40-50 (assuming you could... More

The Inn is lovely and Rhonda and Fred are wonderful hosts. We were quite comfortable and loved the location. Dinner is a short walk into town and back. Gourmet breakfasts were always delicious and well presented. The history of the house and its relationship to Sonora is deep and rich. My husband has a life long interest in anything railroad...

My wife and I visited the Sonora area for three nights in early April, and stayed in the Inn on Knowles Hill (in the "Earl Warren" room) after reading other recommendations on TripAdvisor. The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were uniformly excellent. The inn's owner restores classic cars, so at any given time you might see something like... More

My wife and I just returned from a visit to Sonora. We were happy to see that the property was again a B&B. In our earlier visits we liked the house and location, but it was not special. On this last visit we were pleasantly surprised to see the first- rate decor and amenities that the new owners have installed.... More

My husband and I stayed at the Inn in August and we loved everything about it! This was actually our first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast so we were hesitant at first. However, we couldn't have had a better experience! Rhonda is an amazing host and goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Everything about our... More

The Inn on Knowles Hill was a delightful surprise to me when my family and I arrived on a hot summer evening. I found the inn on the internet, loved the description and it was close to where we wanted to be the next morning to go panning for gold. The rooms were charming, clean, cozy and the air conditioning... More

It's hard to say enough good things about this new B&B. This historical house has been re-furbished exquisitely with amazing attention to detail - reflecting Rhonda's background in graphics design and Fred's in automobile restoration. Rhonda is an amazing cook - the snacks and breakfast were first-class. The Inn is situated just out of town on top of a hill... More
