| Mendocino Farmhouse is nestled in a private forest setting just minutes from the village of Mendocino, surrounded by beautiful gardens with open meadows and a pond. The farmhouse is filled with comfortable antique furnishings, wallpapered rooms, flowers and an eclectic collection of books and music. These four rooms have private baths and some have fireplaces. The barn cottage, located across from the farmhouse features two rooms, each with private baths and stone fireplaces in a separate sitting area. Each room has its own private entrance. After you have spent a very restful night's sleep in one of our comfortable rooms you will wake up to a hearty farmhouse breakfast. |

| Meals Served |
| We like to start your day with a hearty breakfast and are mindful of any dietary requests in advance. Our menus vary every morning and feature fresh fruit in season including fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries) from our garden. A typical breakfast will start with our great coffee, hot cocoa, or tea, followed by fresh fruit and juice. The entree will be one of several that change every day. Pesto eggs with herbs, tomato slices and a croissant are a particular favorite of many of our guests. Also our orange whole wheat pancakes served with sausage or ham is a menu that former guests always ask for when they arrive for breakfast. |
| Innkeepers |
Marge Kamb says:
"I have been cooking in this kitchen for the past 26 years. First for my family and now for the Inn for 17 years. My story to guests if they happen into the kitchen at breakfast is, "It's always in a state of chaos at breakfast, but then after everyone is served it gets cleaned and ready for the next one. I like to make all my own jams from the plentiful supply of berries that I get from my garden every year. I guess you would say I've got the whole breakfast thing down!"
The Farmhouse and barn were built for my family in 1976 out of a five acre parcel of land that was logged to make a clearing for the house and barn. The gardens were finished a few years later after much work and lots of mulch and horse manure. There were milk goats in the barn and a big vegetable garden. Now the vegetables have been replaced with flowers and berries and the barn was converted to rooms in 1987 with the help of my sons in the construction." |

# Montgomery Woods
Just 40 minutes from the Farmhouse is a grove of Giant Redwood Trees. In fact the tallest tree is there. You won't believe how beautiful this place is.
Hiking in State Parks
# Point Cabrillo Lightstation and Preserve
A beautiful place to stroll along the ocean with views of the lightstation and headland preserve.
# Russian Gulch
Go on the loop trail at and see the waterfall at the end.
# MacKerricher State Park
Go tidepooling and meet the local sea lions and their babies.
# Headlands trail
Walk this beautiful trail all around Mendocino and see the Grey Whales migrating in November and March.
# Big River
Hike or ride a bike on the haul road or better yet rent a canoe or kayak at the mouth of the river and paddle up the river to visit the wildlife. I do it all the time and it's truly breath-taking.
# Jughandle State Park
has an ecological staircase that takes you from the ocean to the redwood forest on a trail that passes through the Pygmy Forest.
# Glass Beach
Ask me and I will tell you the story of Glass Bleach and how it got it's name. You could spend all day picking through the sea glass and pottery on that beach.
# Cookie Beach
Up the coast close to Westport is a beach with cookie shaped rocks at the low tide. It's a wonderful beach to fly a kite and have a picnic.
