There to see family
For what we needed this was perfect. After spending they days with our grandson we were able to kick back and relax a little before calling it a night. Close to downtown and shopping. Easy to get around. Enjoyed the time there

Very nice house and location.
The house was very cute. We enjoyed sitting next to the fire stove that kept the house warm and cozy in the evening. Very well located in downtown Sonora- only blocks away from the Main Street.
