The wellness quotient: Give yourself and your dog a break at Stanford Inn

Besides the vegan restaurant, the organic garden and the pet-friendly watercraft concessionaire on the property, Stanford Inn by the Sea is also Mendocino County’s premier holistic and integrated wellness magnet. Its Mendocino Center for Living Well offers a full calendar of ongoing activities and possibilities in the fields of nutrition, art therapy, meditation, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, Tai Chi, yoga, massage, spa treatments, gardening, cooking, nature walks, mushroom foraging and more!

Some activities are dog-friendly and some not, but if you’re a (human) couple, you can of course switch off with one minding the pup while the other gets stretched or kneaded!
