About Us

Michel and Susan Degive, InnFuse founders, are the former owners of the Old Crocker Inn in Cloverdale, California. The Degives bought the Inn in 2003. At the time, the Inn (once the hunting Lodge of Charles Crocker, founder of the Central Pacific Railroad) was just a private residence needing major repairs. The Degives went to work implementing their detailed business plan, and opened the Inn in March of 2004. Within one short year, the Inn became a hot spot for people visiting Sonoma County.

The Degives won multiple awards for the Old Crocker Inn:

• Best overall B&B in North America from Arrington's 2006 Book of Lists.
• Consistent Guest ratings of 5 stars on TripAdvisor.com.
• Award of Merit from the California Heritage Council for restoring and preserving the Crocker Lodge.

The Degives sold the Inn in 2005 and created InnFuse. With her extensive, varied background and experience in real estate, marketing and innkeeping, Susan shares her experience and help aspiring innkeepers and innkeepers fulfill their dreams!

Susan's Bio
Born and raised in Sonoma County, California, Susan has the local insight you'd expect from a third-generation resident. She earned her Real Estate Broker's license in the booming 70's and has kept her fingers in the real estate industry ever since, even while pursuing other interests. Joining her husband in the "new" Internet world, Susan designed computer aided training courses and documented software solutions for companies including Apple, IBM, Intel, CalTrans, and California ISO. Once the kids had flown the nest, she was ready for a new challenge and again joined her husband in creating a new start-up, this time a bed & breakfast inn! In 2006, Susan is making the full circle and back to concentrating on real estate sales with an emphasis on helping aspiring innkeepers.
