Mendocino County may be within a day-trip drive of most of the Bay Area, but we encourage you to snuggle up with your pup at one of our dog-passionate lodging partners. DogTrekker’s editors love staying in Mendo and have personally experienced all of these pup-friendly properties. Go north along the coast from Little River to Fort Bragg to find the Little River Inn, the Stanford Inn, Beach House Inn, Beachcomber Motel, Surf & Sand Lodge and the Noyo Harbor Inn.
