LOOKING BACK ...

The home was originally built in 1885 by Eurastus M. Shelford on property given to him by his father, John Shelford III, that was purchased in 1863 as part of the Rancho Musalacon Land Grant. Six generations of the Shelford family have lived either in the house or adjoining ranch properties for over one hundred and thirty years.


All guestrooms have 300+ thread count sheets and heirloom antiques. You will feel like Royalty on the firm but cozy beds. Each guest bath is complete with fluffy towels, custom monogrammed amenities, and soft robes.


Take advantage of free wireless internet in every room, and outside on the porches and patios! Enjoy a full multi-course breakfast each morning with award winning pastries and jellies.


Enjoy breakfast on heirloom china & hand made linens, and meet guests from all over the world. Our century old gazebo is a wine tank from the famous Italian Swiss Colony Winery near Cloverdale - perfect for afternoon teas.


Enjoy the serene patios and shaded seating areas on the property. Saturday evenings in the late summer months, you may meet a local winemaker when the Innkeepers host wine tastings paired with homemade appetizers.


You can view the newly planted lavender field. Come during July and we will give you a bouquet to take home. You will surely love the vibrant colors and variety of beautiful flowers in the many gardens.


Enter the lovely Victorian garden where you can sit and watch the butterflies and hummingbirds, or you may be lucky enough to see the local red neck finches that visit the bird feeders each day. Colorful stained glass windows, doors, and lamps are thoughtfully appointed throughout the Inn. Need to rest your feet? You can see for miles from the wrap around porch while sitting with your special someone on the swing.
