DogTrekker readers rave about Mendocino County’s dog-friendly accommodations. Just south of Mendocino, Stanford Inn and Little River Inn are known for coastal charm and comfortable luxury. Spa treatments and striking Craftsman style distinguish Fort Bragg’s Noyo Harbor Inn. Also in Fort Bragg, three Beachcomber Motel properties put adventures and attractions within easy reach.
Set on 10 acres along Big River and Mendocino Bay, the Stanford Inn emphasizes wellness, sustainability and plant-based dining. It’s equally convenient for outdoor recreation and spa getaways alike, and innkeepers Jeff and Joan Stanford have happily welcomed pups for more than four decades. Nearby, the Little River Inn has a nine-hole, Audubon-certified golf course, Victorian architecture, a garden patio with dog-friendly dining, and treats for furry guests. Choose from cottages or classic rooms and suites when staying with your pup.
In Fort Bragg, the Noyo Harbor Inn has Craftsman architecture with amenities like gas fireplaces, soaking tubs and balconies. The pup-friendly patio at the resort’s HarborView Bistro and Bar is set along the Noyo River. Dogs are greeted with a handy welcome kit at the Beachcomber Motel, Beach House Inn and Surf & Sand Lodge, which share a dog play area and offer easy access to beach walks, outdoor dining, and other activities.
