Fall special at dog-friendly Stanford Inn

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.

Autumn in Mendocino is one of the best-kept secrets by locals and there’s a good reason why. Beautiful days, cool nights and dog-friendly activities at your pup’s bark and call.

Where to stay, that’s easy, the Stanford Inn by the Sea, now offering fall rates at up to a 20% discount. Booking direct using your AAA or AARP card or calling directly at (707) 937-5615 will provide you with the best rates on the internet.

And remember, dogs eat inside at Ravens Restaurant with their parents, can walk the 10-acre property to see the views, explore the organic gardens, check out the horses, miniature donkeys and llamas and then ride with you on the Big River estuary in a custom redwood “canine cruiser” from Catch-a-Canoe.
