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. |

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. |

the butterflies and hummingbirds, or you may be lucky enough

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. |
