Brewery Gulch Inn--Mendocino Blog
This stunning Inn is built from century-old virgin redwood logs, eco-salvaged from the nearby Big River; the design is open and dramatic, yet warm and inviting; and a beautiful dining room is adjacent to a cozy seating area in front of the ceiling-high fireplace in the majestic great room. These are only a few of the reasons why Brewery Gulch Inn is one of the most unusual lodgings in California. The warmth of the magnificent wood is a result of the beautifully burnished logs that were on the bottom of the river floor for 150 years, being enriched by minerals that gave them purple, golden, walnut, and rosewood hues.
The Inn is surrounded by 10 acres of woods and beautiful gardens on three sides, while the fourth side overlooks Highway one for a magnificent view of the ocean, which it shares with most of the rooms in the Inn.
The rooms all have fireplaces, and many have a private deck. Some have Jacuzzi/soaking tubs for two; all have televisions in the rooms, and an elegant-yet rustic-ambience.
But there's more: the service is excellent, and the breakfasts include homemade breads as well as a full meal that guests choose from an intriguing menu. Wine hour offers delicious and substantial hors d'oeuvres, with many dishes made from the organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown on the property, as well as eggs from the chickens raised in this forest high above the Pacific Ocean.
In between breakfast and dinner you can wander the wooded hills, or sit by the fire and enjoy a book from their library, or a movie from their collection of videos and DVD's. If you can bring yourself to leave the Inn, you're only one mile from the Village of Mendocino, and the Innkeeper will be happy to give you suggestions as to how to spend your day. A truly unique experience is waiting for you!
