The Stanford Inn by the Sea North America’s only vegan resort, the exquisite Stanford Inn by the Sea sits atop a meadow overlooking organic gardens and Mendocino Bay.
(829)

From a Coastal hillside, the Stanford Inn & Resort overlooks Mendocino Bay and the resort’s historic farm, offering exquisite opportunities to reconnect with one another, nature, one’s creativity and joyfulness. The full-service AAA Four Diamond eco-resort is dedicated to ensuring that its guests are not only pampered, but enriched and enlivened. Every detail is attended to, from wood-burning fireplaces set and ready to light, to a salt-water indoor pool, to a sumptuous, varied organic breakfast menu. Inspired by the resort's Certified Organic farm, the nationally acclaimed Ravens restaurant provides cutting edge vegan cuisine. Guests also enjoy the Inn's Mendocino Center for Living Well which offers Massage in the Forest, and classes in nutrition, cooking, creative play shops, gardening, Chinese Medicine, nature walks, mushroom foraging, yoga and more. Canoeing, kayaking and mountain biking are available at the Stanford’s Catch A Canoe and Bicycles Too, providing access to the trails and waterways of the verdant and breathtaking Big River watershed.

Forty-six years ago today, Jeff and Joan Stanford took possession of the Big River Lodge, now the Stanford Inn by the Sea.

"The Stanford Inn was never created from a master plan. It grew from a series of choices, discoveries, relationships and sometimes unexpected turns that shaped not only an inn, but the lives of Joan and Jeff Stanford."

Find out more about Joan and Jeff's fascinating story on our website. The link is in our bio!

Thank you 🙏 Christine Gustafson!
