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 at home.



Our second level and tree top accommodations offer the amenities of our garden level rooms with a more panoramic view, sweeping over our gardens and pastures to the Pacific and the village of Mendocino.
