BARRETTA GARDENS INN is an elegantly restored 1904 Victorian farmhouse, fully central air-conditioned and well known for its special warm atmosphere and Gold Country views. (see our photo album)

The Inn was built at the turn of the 19th century by Albert L. Kleinecke, an executive for Standard Lumber Co., on a steep hillside overlooking the gold rush town of Sonora. It has been lovingly restored to its historic ambiance and is one the most well-known bed and breakfast inns in the southern Gold Country.

Although located only a 10-minute walk to the center of Sonora, our landscaped gardens gives you the feel of staying in the middle of a beautiful park.

Enjoy relaxing in our living room with fireplace, formal dining room with crystal chandelier, first and second floor parlors or our cheery breakfast porch.

We offer seven tastefully decorated non-smoking bedrooms with private bathrooms. One room is wheel chair accessible (ADA Compliant) with an elegant white marble walk or roll-in shower (see the Merlot room). The inn has high-speed wireless Internet access.

This turn-of-the-century Victorian farmhouse offers ample space for solitude, a romantic getaway or small business meetings. We can arrange theatre tickets, restaurant reservations, golf & ski packages. Skiing is only 30 minutes away.

Lodging is available for small wedding parties. Our old fashioned gazebo, makes a perfect site for weddings under 20 people or vow renewals with close family and friends.

We are ideally situated for you to visit Yosemite, Calaveras Big Trees, Columbia State Park, Railtown 1895 State Park, Murphy's, Moaning Caverns, Dodge Ridge ski resort or Pinecrest Lake for hiking, rafting, fishing, golfing, wine tasting or antiquing.
