The Stanford Inn By The Sea Mendocino, CA

The Stanford Inn
By The Sea
Mendocino, CA

Moving here in 1980, we were changed by the creative and healing energies of the land.
Since then, we have worked to assure our guests have an opportunity to experience what we experience: a special place that enlivens and inspires. The energies we experience here nurture us and we reciprocate by nurturing not only our guests, but the people who work here, the farm and gardens and the Mendocino community. We believe in creating contexts to provide wonderful experiences for guests of the Inn, paddlers and bicyclers at
Catch A Canoe & Bicycles, too!, clients of Massage in the Forest and our Wellness Center, and diners at the Ravens.

We are excited by guests visiting the inn. We approach the inn as if it were a small family farm. For us it is as if friends are coming who want to experience our home at its best. We too want our guests to experience Mendocino at its best.

We treat our guests as we do our family.

We provide outstanding equipment at Catch A Canoe & Bicycles, too!; the finest massage therapists on the Mendocino Coast led by Leslee Huber; comprehensive strategies for joyful living at our Mendocino Center for Living Well led by Sid Garza-Hillman; and one of North America’s most acclaimed vegan restaurants, The Ravens.

The Inn manifests our commitment to live mindfully so that all might live well.
We look forward to sharing with you the magic of Stanford Inn by the Sea and the awe-inspiring Mendocino Coast!

Big River Nurseries is our California Certified Organic garden. We offer produce and herbs to selected restaurants and grocers. As a retail nursery, we provide ornamental plants, herbal wreaths, sprays, braids, spices and herbs. We provide vegetables and herbs to our dining room.

Using French intensive, biointensive, and organic methods, we raise a wide variety of lettuces, cabbages, spinach, radishes and gourmet vegetables such as radicchio, mizuna, arugula, and tah tsai. Some beds are used to provide cut flowers and others are rose beds. We are also experimenting with a wide variety of fruit trees, learning which will flourish on the coast.

We are excited by our gardens – particularly in that we can present this approach of gardening/farming to you. It is productive and beautiful while remaining in balance with nature.

The Stanford Inn features two restaurants – with two creative staffs. In the evening The Ravens provides an exceptional plant-based fine-dining experience! Guests don’t have to go out of their way to try an ethical, sustainable meal. They also find an outstanding wine list and a full bar.
In the morning,

Breakfast at the Stanford Inn offers a large and extraordinary Breakfast Menu. Recognizing that most of our guests are not plant-based, we offer a large variety of elegant, gourmet breakfast dishes to assure a delicious dining experience! Our dishes are traditionally associated with the finest breakfast restaurants in the United States.
