About
The Inn Keepers Virginia Smalldridge was born in Indiana. Bearl Smalldridge was born in Newton Iowa but raised in Missouri. They have spent many years in Southern California after an adventurous life as missionaries in West Africa. Virginia is a retired school teacher and
Bearl has many accomplishments in addition to teaching. |
| During the last 20 years we owned and operated a non-profit retreat/ranch in
Southern California just outside of San Diego. After the fires came through in Oct.
2003, our ranch was completely burned down. Instead of rebuilding we decided to take
on the challenge of the bed and breakfast. We love entertaining and look forward to
meeting you as you travel our way. Bearl has many stories to share if you are
interested and he has never met a person who wasn't soon a friend. We have six children, two boys and four girls, all are grown and have children of their own. |
