STORIES ADOPT A DOG

Calling all river dogs!

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Natural beauty and colorful history converge at Mendocino’s Little River Inn, a classic Victorian establishment with 65 ocean-view rooms, a nine-hole golf course and day spa on 225 wooded acres overlooking the coast.

This summer the inn is rolling out the red carpet for dog-lovers and their four-legged friends with an amenity-rich River Dog Package. It includes two nights in a pet-friendly, ocean view room with fireplace; a three-hour excursion on the Big River estuary in an ultra-stable, dog-friendly outrigger canoe; a $100 dinner voucher for use in the dog-friendly parlor, the pro shop or for room service; a goodie bag with pet treats; an info sheet on where to hike, bike and boat with dogs; and a one-hour massage for each adult human.

Packages start at $685 (plus tax and gratuity) for two people and up to two pets. Advance reservations at least two days in advance are required; call 707.937.5942 or go to littleriverinn.com.
