The Stanford Inn (B and B) in Mendocino, California

While in Mendocino, California, I had to meander over to the Stanford Inn. Just over the bridge and down the road from Mendocino’s heart, I’d heard so much about this resort, hotel, bed and breakfast, wellness retreat, and farm. I loved the simple act of wandering the grounds and eating at their in-house organic restaurant. It served hearty plant-based (+ gf) food to guests and locals alike. I thought we’d only treat ourselves once to their full sit-down breakfast. We returned three times. The staff, rustic Zen lodge energy, fireplace, meaningful books, satiating food (love the breakfast potatoes!), grounds, and cute little raccoon family rattling around … soothed the senses.
