Winter is a great time to visit the Little River Inn with your dog, and this season comes with a little extra incentive. Fewer crowds and cooler weather make everything feel easier and more relaxed—and there are two winter specials that make a coastal getaway at the Little River Inn even more tempting. The inn offers many dog-friendly rooms, so your pup can stay comfortably by your side, along with heated, dog-friendly dining cabanas where you can enjoy a meal together (or in your room). These winter specials are worth planning around.

The “Cozy by the Coast” offer runs through February 28, 2026: book two nights with the code COZY25 and receive a $25 to $75 discount per night, depending on room type. (Excludes holidays and special events.)

In March, the “Whale of a Sale” runs from March 1–31, 2026—book two nights using the code WHALE26 and get a third night free from Sunday through Thursday. make winter at the Little River Inn an easy yes for travelers who like to bring their dogs along. (Excludes holidays and special events.)

The quieter rhythm of winter suits dogs and their people just fine. Cool coastal air is ideal for long walks along the bluffs, and stormy days bring a kind of drama you only get this time of year. Start your morning slowly with coffee and ocean views from your room, use the afternoons to explore all that the Mendocino Coast has to offer, then come back for drinks and dinner at the Inn. A lovely winter break and your furry friend can come with? Yes please!
