About The Inn
The inn was built in 1889 as a private home for a
Wells Fargo agent and it remained so until 1988 when it first opened as a bed
and breakfast inn. In March 2000 it was christened Bradford Place Inn
and Gardens when it reopened under the ownership of Dottie Musser.
Within the first six weeks of opening, Bradford Place received a three
diamond rating from the American Automobile Association, a rating it has
consistently held each year. The inn has received several awards
and certificates of recognition.
Bradford Place is a fully licensed and inspected four room bed and
breakfast.
