Welcome to Stanford
Inn by the Sea. It is obvious that something is different.
Walk into the Stanford Inn and there are no counters as
in other inns. There are two concierge desks: the innkeepers
are ready to assist you in enjoying the Mendocino Coast.
The
Stanford Inn embodies the very best of the rugged Mendocino
Coast. Rather than an inn with gardens, ours is a small
working certified organic garden and farm with an inn.
Yet,
in the tradition of the finest inn keeping we offer superior
accommodations. You feel that your have found home.

Chosen
as one of the ten most romantic California inns by Sacramento
Magazine, Stanford Inn also is suitable for families,
pets and group uses. |
In
my dreams I walk on fog-enshrouded cliffs through
wild flowers dancing in the wind with the sea booming
below me, the mist wrapping about my ankles.
And a longing fills me, settles over me
like a soft summer rain.
And I know that I must go to Mendocino.

This
is the kind of place we would all build if we were
as singled-minded, as energetic, and as creative
as the Stanford family. The Stanford Inn is wonderful...

Hats
off to Joan and Jeff Stanford, the environmentally
conscious couple who turned this parcel of prime
coastal property into something more than a magnificent
resort. It’s a true eco system, a place where
plants, animals, and people coexist in one of the
most unforgettable lodging experiences in California.

A
masterpiece of a lodge standing on ten acres, Mendo's
best inn has wood-burning fireplaces, fine art...and
no
Victoriana.

If
an inn can be simultaneously rustic and luxurious,
romantic and invigorating, quiet and exciting, then
the Stanford Inn by the Sea is such a place.

How
organic can you get? To find out, head for the comfortably
luxurious yet outdoorsy Stanford Inn.... This is
an elegant, friendly lodge with vast gardens. But
here, the working certified organic garden and farm
- Big River Nurseries- dominate the setting.

| My
favorite place to stay in Mendocino is the Stanford
Inn. High on a hill, surrounded by lush flowering
gardens and acres of rolling land on the banks of
the Big River, the Stanford Inn is Mendocino's only
proper resort. Sure, the village's tiny inns are cute,
but you can't make a move in them without running
into other guests.
Not
so here. The Stanford Inn's rooms are in modern
buildings with wood-burning fireplaces, knotty-pine-paneled
walls, excellent soundproofing, and balconies overlooking
gorgeous gardens and a horse paddock. The ocean
lies in the distance, its roar never out of ear
shot. The indoor swimming pool—a rarity on
the Mendocino coast—is gigantic, perfect for
laps, and open 24 hours. Town is a ten-minute walk
away, but there are free bicycles to get you there
faster. The inn's organic gardens provide food for
the vegetarian dining room, the Ravens, which makes
a terrific breakfast. The Stanford Inn is also dog-friendly.
