It’s not hard to be happy while watching a Pacific sunset, sampling organic fare or hiking redwood-shaded trails with your dog. Moments like these define the Stanford Inn experience. In fact, happiness and health are woven into every stay at this coastal Mendocino resort. Expect outdoor access, first-class amenities, plant-based dishes at Ravens Restaurant, wellness classes and warm, welcoming service.
At the Stanford Inn, you’ll enjoy an authentically great getaway that leaves you feeling refreshed and renewed. With four state parks set within two miles of the resort, plus trails, beaches and river routes at every turn, you’re never far from nature. On the property, thoughtful wellness workshops outline simple steps for healthy, joyful living – from instruction in acupressure, Pilates, mindfulness or herbal medicine, to foraging, cooking and creativity experiences.
VegNews has called the Stanford Inn “a vegan rite of passage,” and for good reason. Ravens Restaurant, the inn’s signature dining venue, puts a fresh spin on vegan offerings that delight even guests who are new to plant-based food. Made-to-order breakfasts, to-go lunch items and a range of dinner entrees feature local ingredients, edible flowers and produce grown in the surrounding gardens. Organic and biodynamic releases headline the wine list. Furry friends enjoy fresh steamed vegetables and sweet potato treats here, as well.
Whether you engage in resort activities or simply spend your days watching ocean waves and wandering through the gardens, you’ll find the time to reconnect with loved ones – and nourish your own spirit.
