Inn at Occidental of Sonoma Wine Country
-
Our Veranda has been featured on the cover of two B&B guidebooks! Guests relax here while enjoying our evening Wine & Cheese.
The Main building, built in 1876, has eight guestrooms. All rooms have private baths and each showcases a collection of antiques. The living room is the nightly scene for the wine and cheese reception and the Dining Room, with the huge stone fireplace, is located downstairs. Some rooms have spa tubs and fireplaces.
Inn at Occidental is close to Sonoma County's finest wineries, the Armstrong Woods Redwood Forest, the Pacific Ocean, and the mighty Russian River.
The living room, with three sitting areas, provides the weary traveler a colorful respite from the busy world. Adorning the walls is a rare collection of green Majollica plates by Wedgewood. Relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and catch up on reading. A selection of magazines as well as our very popular book, "The Secret Language of Birthdays," offers a variety of topics for lively conversation during our evening wine and cheese reception.
We take great pride in the food we serve. Breakfast includes juice, seasonal fresh fruit, baked goods from our Inn's recipes, and our "world-famous" granola. A hot entree is served and changes daily. We do our best to accommodate any dietary restrictions...just let us know when you make your reservation.
Marble Suite - This roomy suite has a King Bed, living area with loveseat that can convert to a bed, and two easy chairs. A gas fireplace and a whirlpool tub offer the perfect amenities for romance. A collection of marbles is displayed in a thimble case.
Sandwich Glass Suite - Spacious and romantic, this multilevel suite features a queen bed and a wonderful garden view. A spa tub for two and a window seat sit tucked into a cozy nook. The large sitting room offers an antique mahogany writing table, overstuffed easy chairs, and a fireplace. Named for the curtain tiebacks crafted in the Cape Cod town of Sandwich, this room displays a large collection of the Victorian-era gems.
Cut Glass Suite - This suite features a secluded private patio and a full-size hot tub. An electric fireplace and two Adirondack chairs complete the outdoor area. Black-and-white landscape photographs, sleek mahogany furniture, and chocolate-brown leather chairs add to the refined and cozy décor. A striking red and white quilt sits on this king bed, and a collection of clear cut-glass bottles from 19th-century England and Ireland grace the bedside shelf.
Quilt Room - With its bold golden walls and vibrant quilts, this fun room is one of the Inn's most colorful rooms. Whimsical and bright, it offers a spa tub for two and great garden views out the large picture window. Floor lamps in the form of folk-art characters stand sentry on each side of the gas fireplace. A giraffe painting hangs over the sitting area, and big-bellied ceramic friars are now lamps on each side of the queen pine bed. A folk-art rocking cow toy and a five-foot pair of scissors — formerly a tailor's trade sign — complete the quirky setting.
Tiffany Room - The original 1877 bedroom of the property. Queen Charlston Mahogany furniture and featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a four-poster queen canopy bed, and a two-person shower, this dreamy room is a great choice for a honeymoon or an ongoing romance. A tiny mahogany loveseat and wicker easy chairs comprise a cozy sitting area in front of the hearth. A large private deck with two lounge chairs overlooks the Inn's patio gardens and the redwood forest beyond. The lavender walls display a Tiffany silver flatware collection housed in a unique shadow box.
The Sugar Room- The French doors of this classic room open to the beautiful courtyard garden and bubbling fountain. Overstuffed easy chairs sit in front of the fireplace and antique horse-hunting prints hang over the luxurious king bed. A corner shelf displays pressed-pattern glass bowls made for the coarse sugar of the late 1800s. This first-floor room accommodates the physically challenged with a roll-in shower, a hand-held shower head, and a fold-down shower bench.
Ivory Room - Filled with intricate, hand-carved "netsuke", this sunny room features a marvelous collection of 19th-century ivory miniatures from Japan. Over the king bed hang a pair of hand-colored fish prints with intricately carved frames. The sitting area's patchwork swivel chairs cozy up to the brick fireplace.
Leaf Umbrella - Rich green walls provide a vibrant backdrop to this inviting first-floor room. Eyelet bed hangings and an antique quilt adorn the romantic queen canopy bed. Out the window, our courtyard garden with its bubbling fountain provides a picture-perfect view. An original watercolor of prickly pear cacti by local artist Woody Payne is the focal point of this very inviting room. A cozy sitting area with its corner potbellied stove complete the room.
Enjoy our hosted wine hour on the veranda or in the livingroom.
The focal point of the Courtyard Gardem is the bubbling fountain. The surronding roses interspersed with hydrangea, perennials and annuals beg for one to "stop and smell the roses". Lounge on the chaises and watch the world go by. The arbor is the perfect venue for a garden wedding.

5 out of 5A Must Stay!!
October 13, 2009
I had always wanted to try a stay at the Inn at Occidental and finally got the pleasure to stay there a night as my husband and I took a road trip on our motorcycle. Everything about the inn met our expectations and we only wish we could of stayed longer. We will return again to experience one of the other charming rooms!!! Thanks Tina & Jerry..........
5 out of 5Sonoma's Best Little Secret
February 08, 2008
I had not been back at the Inn at Occidental for a few years and decided to extend a business trip in they area to check on Jerry & Tina, the proprietors-innkeepers, and on one of my favorite inns in Sonoma. For all of those who have had the chance to visit and feel as I do about this property: be reassured. The Inn at Occidental is alive and well, as charming and whimsical as ever. After all their years of experience working in large hotels, Jerry and Tina have effortlessly -at least it seems- slipped in the much more casual world of innkeeping but brought with them a professionalism that is unfortunately often missing at other inns in that price range. (It's a member of both Unique Inns and Select Registry) Mixed with the tongue in cheek, quirky, luxury of the atmosphere, this is a winning combination! They brought a peacefulness to the inn that only added to its charm. Casually elegant is how I would describe the Marble Suite where I stayed. (No, the marble does not refer to a Vegas style decor but to these little round balls we played with in the school yard, now displayed artfully in a few places around the room). Rooms have no TV's but, when I asked Jerry about it, he offered to bring one in. Even though I was traveling solo this time, I declined and opted to enjoy the peace and quietness the absence of cell reception and of TV would provide for one night.Sitting in my private oversize spa tub, looking at the fireplace and listening to calming music provided on the cd player, I thought: "This is just what I needed after three days of conference in a generically nice chain hotel". After a great night of sleep under (the linens are so luxurious - Frette towels too) a delicious breakfast awaited us before our trip back to Oakland Airport and the real world. I am already looking forward to be back!

We were treated like royalty. Breathtaking decor and if I could get there each year, I would be back. Everything was top notch and staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. A perfect romantic escape. We look back on this stay here as one of our finest B&B experiences, and we have been to many. Don't miss this one! Fall in love all over again.

June 08, 2007
The Inn at Occidental is all its Website promises plus more. The innkeepers and staff are wonderful, the decor (throughout the inn) is high-style as well as charming, the courtyard is magnificent, the food (breakfast, homemade cookies, evening hors d’oeuvres)is outstanding, and the location is ideal. I have visited hundreds of inns in this country and abroad, and Inn at Occidental is one of my very favorites. I endorse it whole-heartedly.
