Stanford Inn by the Sea

Nestled on a Mendocino Coast hillside, the Stanford Inn sits atop a meadow overlooking Mendocino Bay. Embodying the best of the rugged Mendocino Coast, this resort is an exquisite opportunity to reconnect with nature. The lobby of the Mendocino Inn is spacious and welcoming. Guest rooms and suites are paneled in pine and redwood. Every detail is attended to, from wood-burning fireplaces set and ready to light to the sumptuous chef-prepared organic breakfasts. The exquisitely tended gardens are a joy to walk through at any time of year. Swim in the glass-clad conservatory-style swimming pool, take a yoga class, learn to cook a plant-based diet, and indulge in Wellness Program activities. Big River Beach is just a short walk away and Catch A Canoe (part of the Stanford Inn) is the go-to place to rent redwood outriggers and bicycles to explore Big River Estuary.
