Circa 1856. Tucked against a forested hillside, this inn is comprised of a combination of buildings from an 1856 homestead to a 1930s cottage, and the more recent 1969 and 1996 inn that offers views of the ocean from each room. The ten acres also include an expansive lawn studded with flower gardens that slope down to a duck pond and redwood barn where the inn's llamas and horses graze. Guest bedrooms and suites feature four-poster beds, wood-burning fireplaces and watercolors and paintings by local artists. Complimentary Mendocino wines are offered.

As working parents with young children, our weekends away are so terribly few in number, that every one must be precious. Thanks to you, our weekend in Mendocino was the finest of all.
