My husband and I had an incredible stay at the Stanford Inn. We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary and we were absolutely delighted by the care and thoughtfulness of the staff and the absolute beauty, luxury, and comfort of our room. We strolled the beautiful gardens and enjoyed the peace and serenity of the grounds. We chatted with the garden... more

Rooms and restaurant above expectations of creature comfort and delicious delight. It is its own wonderful world within a world and more. Can't say enought to encourage others to visit for an extended stay. Views and amenities are astounding, in proximity to the vibrant village of Mendocino, a coastal jewel. Canoes, bikes, massages and organinc gardens with llamas and lobby... more

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 dogs over thanksgiving. The location was amazing, the rooms cozy and inviting, service outstanding and the vegan thanksgiving dinner beyond description. I have never had such an incredible meal. Breakfast the next morning was equally as good. To top it all off, we have never been to a hotel that has... more

Very enjoyable, scenic rustic setting and exterior lodge set on hill overlooking the inns' organic garden with view of nearby ocean, Mendocino and river. Very comfortable beds with fresh linens encasing the blankets with down comforter and bed toppers. The inviting lobby area has two sitting areas in front of fireplaces & is open until 11 PM. Indoor swimming pool,... more

We had a Reimeriner for 14 years. Chloe was more family than most of our cousins and in-laws. She spoke with us, the way that dogs do. She things about each us that none of us know about each other. And since she was getting a little long in the tooth, we wanted to take one last Chloe vacation before... more

Jillian Koski, Owners and Manager

This truly touched our hearts. I cannot express enough, how honored we are to have made such a wonderful impact in Chloe's life. It is remarkable to see what a little bit of healing energy, which we too benefit from and try to nurture, can do. We are also glad to hear that our Catch-A-Canoe staff was so accommodating to...

Our stay at the Stanford Inn was beyond our expectations. The service was very friendly and helpful, and the Inn came with all sorts of nice surprises such as cookies in our room each day, a fantastic complimentary tea service (with awesome baked goods) and a full complimentary breakfast each morning. Dinner was great too. Best of all was our... more

We could had a delightful 3 days and everything was perfect. I traveled with my spouse who is disabled and the staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus that my husband could enjoy. We were also very impressed with the Inn's recycling efforts, their dedication to sustainable farming and... more

We booked five rooms at the Stanford Inn to celebrate a 60th anniversary (no children - all adults). The location is spectacular. The service, particularly the front desk, aloof and cold. No walking or hiking maps at front desk. Glasses in room never picked up or cleaned. Breakfast was almost inedible. Service in the restaurant was very sloppy and slow... more

We received harassing phone calls about guests smoking at the Inn during our stay and were threatened with a $400.00 fee if the Inn found a cigarette butt near or around our room whether we are responsible or not! Blatant and open discrimination against smokers but they do encourage pets and wood burning fireplaces in each room.... Great place for... more

If falling asleep at the sound of a crackling fire does not appeal to you, then probably this is not your hotel. If you cannot survive 24 hours without your cell phone, then maybe reconsider the trip and stay in San Francisco. I was guided to the Stanford inn by the Mendocino forum: thanks so much for the suggestion. The... more
