radford Place.  Location.  LocationLocation.
 
Truly an understatement.  This little inn enjoys an enviable location smack dab in the village of historic Sonora, California  
—  you know, the kind of town you dream about visiting with a vintage main street that has historic lamp posts and lots of cute stores. Where you can window shop after dark without a care in the world after the sidewalks roll up around 6 at night when the evening hush settles in.  Well, just one block off this main street is Bradford Place. Built in 1889 as a private residence, today it is a very small inn. Just four rooms — each totally renovated with Karastan® wall to wall carpeting, each room with bath en suite, some with whirlpool. The inn has a bed and breakfast warmth  — no restaurant, bar, butlers or valet parking here but hotel privacy is evident from the moment you step inside.  Accommodations vary from cozy and intimate to gracious and luxurious, all with spacious ceilings. Eleven foot ceilings on the main floor, nine foot ceilings throughout the second.

 

  Quiet.  Personal.  Comfort.  It's a casual relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely nothing stuffy or pretentious. No attitude. Blue jeans and sweat shirts are fine. Yet the little jewel has the flair one would expect of a well cared for property — white market umbrellas, a winding stone pathway with gardens and white picket fences. You probably get the idea.  The inn itself has solid doors and virtually sound tight walls and offers nearly every imaginable amenity: wireless internet access, Frette® bath robes, Frette® dining linen and each room has the ultimate climate system that's highly efficient and eco-friendly, yet virtually unobtrusive. And for those who don't care to mingle at breakfast or might be running on a tight schedule, the inn has breakfast room service 7:00 til 11:00 each morning at no extra charge.  The experience offered, in essence, is comfort and attention without intrusion.

  

  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. Business clientele who frequently stay at Bradford Place include health care consultants, professionals and staff; financial consultants; government personnel; and various law firms.

 

  Given the limited number of rooms at Bradford Place, the inn's considerable appeal and its ideal location in the village of old 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!   If you want to just drop by without a reservation,  please do so after our 3:00 o'clock check in time but before 5:30 in the evening when the front desk closes.   We'll be happy to show you what might be available for the night.  Or call us.  You may always call us!

KEEPING IT GREEN

We’re "Keeping It Green" wherever possible. The inn has five eco-friendly climate systems, and they are amazing! Our primary cleaning agent is isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and we purchase only eco-friendly bed pillows — they’re filled with shredded water bottles. For hot weather activities, we purchase chilled bottled water for guests to take with them on hiking trails and for other outdoor activities.
WE recycle — but it's optional for our guests

Featuring Ghirardelli ® Gourmet Double Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa


  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 for lodging guests where you may order such Mother Lode entrees as the Gold Miner's Hot Skillet Breakfast with seasoned mashed potatoes mounded in a baked potato shell, scrambled eggs, steamed veggies and a light dusting of cheddar cheese — shown right. Breakfast may be delivered to your room from 7:00 to 10:00 each morning or you may come to the main dining area which has tables set for two.    Eli Shahar, resident owner and French pastry chef demonstrates his creativity and consideration for individual tastes and dietary needs with his amazing repertoire of winning recipes.  

 

   Bradford Place is in an envious location smack dab in the middle of the quaint historic downtown. The inn is next door to the Hall Of Records and the impressive Tuolumne County Court House, circa 1898.  In a lovely restored neighborhood, it is one block west of Sonora's popular main street (California Highway 49) which is lined with antique stores, art galleries and wonderful dining — a favorite street for late night strolling and window shopping. In the central Sierra foothills in the heart of California's gold country, Sonora is a gold rush mining town known as the "Queen Of The Southern Mines."  It is close to the gold rush villages of Columbia and Jamestown, twenty minutes to the wineries 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!
