  • History

    Step Back In Time ... A Piece Of Case Ranch Inn History

    Built around 1894 by Joseph Walker, the Case Ranch was purchased by James L. Case in 1910 when it consisted of a Victorian farmhouse on 50 acres in the rolling hills of the Russian River Valley --- in beautiful Sonoma County where apples were the reigning crop. Mr. Case, the Methodist Church minister, was an active voice in the farm labor movement, and the Case Ranch was the center of much protest activity during the Great Depression.

    Years later, the Russian River Valley now boasts the finest of wines rather than apples, and the Case Ranch now sits on two acres on a quiet, country road with many remaining fruit trees. It is now a registered Sonoma County Historical Landmark.

    We purchased the Case house in 1992 with the dream of converting it to a bed and breakfast inn. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience ... and a tremendous labor of love! During the remodel, a friend of ours kindly lent us a 34-foot motor home to park on the property - living quarters during the remodel. Twenty-one weeks later (too many weeks in a motor home!), in October of 1999, we moved back in with still much work to be done. In all, it took two years to create the exquisite bed and breakfast that is now enjoyed by guests from all points around the globe.
