Hidden Oak

Sonoma, California.

A touch of old Sonoma... Experience the warmth of this country home in the historic town of Sonoma in the Valley of the Moon. The Hidden Oak Inn is a tastefully restored California Craftsman Bungalow with beautifully decorated rooms.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Built in 1914 by Ralph E. Murphy, this large, two-story house has a high gabled roof and a front porch framed with Wisteria. The Inn was originally a home for families and later a home for teachers and nurses during WWII. In the late 1940's the Episcopal Church (which use to be next door) purchased the home to use as a refectory. The home was lovingly converted to a Bed and Breakfast 1984 and has been home to Don and Valerie Patterson and their son Taylor since 1999.

The casual elegance of this historic bed and breakfast reflects a time of serenity and beauty. In an effort to preserve the past, the innkeepers have added many antiques and collectibles throughout the Inn. The spacious rooms provide a restful interlude for two after a day of wine tasting or exploring the town. Romance abounds while reading by the cozy fireplace in the parlor, enjoying the mild Sonoma climate on the front porch, or sharing a glass of wine by the pool.

Awake each morning to the aroma of freshly baked goods wafting through the house. A candlelit full breakfast is served on weekends and holidays at a.m. in the dining room. On weekdays, a self-serve expanded Continental breakfast is available between 8-9am in the dining room. Each breakfast is complimented with fresh fruits, juices, jams, jellies and baked goods. Please let us know in advance of any special dietary needs.
