The Inn on Knowles Hill

Sonora

"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...

Forest-view Retreat: Grill & Fireplace in Sonora

Sonora

"It’s a very nice and cozy house in a quiet location. We saw deer walking around everyday. The owner replies message every quickly. No gap in communication. Everything is new, clean and well prepared. The house is decorated with all Christmas elements, even prepared a box for kids to make their own Christmas tree decorations. It’s about 40min driving distance to Dodge Ridge Ski resort. 15min to Twain Harte Grocery Market. Overall highly recommended."

"We chose to stay here for an early Christmas gathering with our family. The children loved that they were able to have their own space. Everybody had a wonderful experience here, especially being able to be around the forest and mountains. The cabin had a fully equipped kitchen, with all the necessary appliances, utilities, pots, pans, and even some seasoning. The five rooms had plenty of blankets and pillows. The bathrooms were stocked up with the necessary items such as, towels, shampoo and...

"Very cozy and spacious. It easily sleeps 8 people. The host was very nice and easy to communicate. He would keep us posted with the weather and instructions for the house. He let us check in and out without any time restrictions. The place is just 20 min drive from the dodge ridge ski resort. The place was very tidy and clean with the exception of the fridge and the microwave. I would strongly recommend it to stay. "
