Fred and Rhonda Buess The Inn at Knowles Hill

Fred and Rhonda have been married since 1992. They are absolutely in love with one another. Fred remembers when Rhonda's mother was about to deliver her! He has a degree in mechanical engineering but decided to use his talent in the area he enjoyed more than anything else...restoring prewar cars, mostly Rolls-Royce. At Knowles Hill you may see a 70, or 80, or 90, or maybe even a 100-year old Rolls-Royce drive by. Sometimes they are beauLful and perfect, and sometimes they look like he just drug them up out of a swamp. Frankly, there is no place Rhonda would rather be than snuggled up beside her best friend riding along Hwy 49 in an antique car--as long as she's driving, of course. She has a degree in Graphic Design and worked many years as Art Director for a prominent firm in Southern California. Rhonda loves to create and design - anything! She is usually found cooking a gourmet meal, designing a room, sewing curtains, working in her organic veggie garden or designing on a computer.


Their son Andy was a healthy baby born in 2001 and became autistic after his 18-month vaccines. Knowles Hill is a place for him to grow and learn and he works closely with his therapists there. Megan joined the team in 2015 and is like a daughter to them! She has mastered the art of innkeeping and may be the one who greets you when you arrive.

The Buess Family Megan will welcome you
