Historic Belden House   Piccola Casa   The Gate House

HISTORIC BELDEN HOUSE

Built in 1922 for Ralph and Gretchen  Belden and their son John . The architecture is inspired by the missions and homes of the early Spanish Grandees who settled Alta California. Thick stucco walls, heavily beamed ceilings & river rock fireplaces in the public rooms and graceful arches enhance this lovely Russian River Valley estate designed by noted architect, John Warnecke. 

The mansion houses a great room, solarium / game room, and reading lounge. The dining rooms and kitchen are home to the inn's cooking school. The multi - leveled terraces around the swimming pool and outdoor jacuzzi are adjacent to the mansion.
