Loved this B&B. The host was so inviting. The house was beautiful. Bed was comfortable and the room was large. Breakfast was delicious and the story of the house and its furnishings is one I’ll never forget. If you’re hesitant just book it, you won’t regret it.

Beautiful property. Wonderful hospitality. It is a step back into history when guests are graciously received. This is more of an experience than an opportunity for a good night's rest. The morning breakfast is divine. A definite must when you visit Sonora.

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!

Perfect getaway weekend location

We stayed at the Inn on Knowles Hill for one night, it was a perfect weekend getaway location. It’s a beautiful historic place in the center of Sonora. Both inside and outside the entire experience gave us flashbacks to another age. The house is in an amazing spot, located atop of a hill, but still in a walking distance to the downtown. Rhonda is an amazing host, we felt very welcomed and had a delicious breakfast. This was the best B&B experience we’ve had so far, highly recommended!

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.

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!
