Introduction
Close to Yosemite National Park, Bradford Place in historic downtown Sonora, California was built in 1889 as a residence. Today it is a very small inn offering the warmth of a bed and breakfast and the privacy of a hotel with accommodations that vary from cozy and intimate to gracious and luxurious.
It's a casual atmosphere, nothing stiff or pretentious. But the little jewel has the flair one would expect of a lovely small property, very well cared for - white market umbrellas, a winding stone pathway and gardens with lots of white picket fences yet only one short block off the town's main street. The inn itself has thick almost sound tight walls and offers nearly every imaginable amenity including wireless internet access. And each room has the absolute ultimate in temperature control, each with its very own private climate control system that is highly efficient and eco-friendly, yet virtually unobtrusive. And you can have room service for breakfast until 11 A.M. at no additional cost. In essence, comfort and attention without intrusion.
Yosemite Room
Bradford Suite
Since opening in 2000 this lodging showpiece located 130 miles east of San Francisco has become known as the place to stay in California's central Sierra foothills for discerning business and leisure guests. In recent years fitness icon Jack LaLanne and his wife Elaine have stayed here. A couple of times the inn has hosted the legendary Hollywood actress and Broadway star Miss Carol Channing and her husband Harry Kullijian. And we have cooked breakfast for gospel artist TaTa Vega who worked with Quincy Jones on four featured vocals in The Color Purple.
Given the limited number of rooms at Bradford Place, the inn's considerable appeal and its ideal location in cute downtown Sonora, advance reservations are suggested. So give us a call and book a night or two - we'd love to add your name to our guest list!
Whether you are an early riser or someone who prefers sleep over food, you've found the right place. The inn has a Breakfast Menu just for lodging guests where you may order such Mother Lode entrees as the Gold Miner's Stuffed Potato. Breakfast may be delivered to your room from 6:30 to 11:00 each morning at no extra cost. Dottie Musser, inn owner, the decorator supreme and breakfast chef demonstrates her creativity and consideration for individual tastes and dietary needs, a testament to her graduate work in dietetics and to her experience as a Santa Barbara bed and breakfast innkeeper.
Bradford Place is in an ideal location smack dab in the middle of historic downtown Sonora "Queen Of The Southern Mines" (population 4,610) and it is right next door to the county offices and the impressive court house, circa 1898. Its lovely restored neighborhood is one block west of the domed building with overhanging bay windows on Sonora's popular main street (CA Highway 49) which is lined with antique stores, art galleries and wonderful dining. In the central Sierra foothills and in the heart of California's gold country, Sonora is close to the gold rush villages of Columbia and Jamestown, twenty minutes or so to the wineries, caverns and shops at Murphys, and just an hour to the grandeur of Yosemite National Park.
You are invited to relax in Gold Rush Splendor and stay awhile, set your own pace and take in the fresh air.
Maybe do a little winery touring, cavern exploring or what have you. There's absolutely no need to rush
because this is California dreamin'. And check out isn't til noon!
