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.

Here’s what intrepid DogTrekker Tracy M. wrote to us about her family’s recent trip to the Stanford Inn in Mendocino.

“If you’re ever in the Mendocino area, I highly recommend the Stanford Inn. We went there with three of our fur babies, and were greeted with “welcome” chocolates for us AND “welcome” doggies treats for the dogs. The room we stayed in also included a fireplace and had a couch with special doggie blankets!

There is a dedicated section in their dining area where you can bring your pets and enjoy breakfast with a nice cup of coffee, while reading the Sunday newspaper. This will definitely be my go-to place in Mendocino from now on.

NOTE: The food they serve is vegan/vegetarian, so if you’re a meat lover, be sure to pack a cooler of your favorite grub to keep in your room.“
