"When Raford W. Peterson built his summer home in the 1880's on 1300 acres, it overlooked a valley of hops. Today The Raford House Bed & Breakfast Inn, with its splendid front porch, overlooks lush vineyards and is listed as a Sonoma County Historical Landmark. Situated on the last remaining four acres of the original parcel, this classic Victorian rests on a prominent knoll surrounded by towering palm trees and old-fashioned flower gardens that play host to hummingbirds, orioles and swallows. A lovely summer home, The Raford House is a place of quiet beauty in the hills of western Sonoma County" |
