My first trip to Mendocino, although I've lived in CA for over 10 years now....just returned last night. The Brewery Gulch Inn was just what the Dr ordered for a restorative B&B experience.
I must say, the website & subsequent photos do not do it justice. We booked it purely on the reviews we read here at Trip Advisor....and all the rave reviews were true, and then some!
The outside of the inn is very modest & not especially memorable, but the instant you open the lobby door, you are transported. Craftsman architecture but with a zen-like ambience. A lovely 'great room' lobby that is vaulted up to the 2nd floor ceiling with a gorgeous 4 sided fireplace in the middle. An amazing patio/deck that overlooks the lovely landscaping, with Pottery Barn/Restoration Hardward like patio furniture, all facing the beautiful cove.
Our room was perfect. We stayed in the Raven. A corner room upstairs with windows on 3 sides, all of which opened for a refreshing breeze & the sound of frogs & crickets at night (which I love!). A nice flat screen tv mounted about the nice gas fireplace (we tried to watch one of the DVDs they have from an immense DVD/book library, but honestly, watching a movie there just didn't seem 'right' somehow)
The bathroom is nothing short of stunning. My shower there was almost a religious experience....amazing.
But as beautiful as the inn itself truly is, it's the little touches & the attention to detail that impressed us the most. I won't spoil it for future first time visitors, but suffice it to say, you won't be disappointed. A vast world apart from all the other inns & B&Bs we've visited in CA.
I hope to return again & again.

“Best Place for a Romantic Celebration/Getaway”

Brewery Gulch Inn

2/2 found this review helpful

Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary (2006) at Brewery Gulch Inn and came back this year to celebrate our 27th. We were going to visit every two years but we now have decided to do our anniversary celebrations at the Inn. The hands-on Owner/Manager, the friendly staff, added amenities and the food (plus wine selections) make for a memorable stay. Looking forward to 2009 and beyond!

“The best place to go on the coast”

My husband and I took a vacation and we wanted to stay somewhere off the coast. Brewery Gulch Inn is a must to see. The place is beautiful and the food was excellent. The room was very nice with a fireplace, oceanview, comfortable bed, great TV and all the amenties that you need. If you want somewhere to stay to get some R&R or a romantic getaway this is the place to go I highly recommend it.

A very comfortable hotel in a magnificent setting, but what made it very special was the naturally friendly hospitality we received from all the staff, including the hands-on owner, who went to great lengths to make our stay memorable in every way. Highly recommended !! My only regret is that my wife and I couldn't stay longer during our two week visit to California.

If you want a very friendly, tranquil place to stay with pines, coastal views, and hosts that truly value your business, then Brewery Gulch Inn is for you!

My wife and I have taken 2 to 3 night stays at Brewery Gulch Inn at least once annually since 2002. The ambiance of the Inn and the hospitality of the entire staff, from the owner, front desk, housekeepers, chefs & servers, has been consistently outstanding on every ocassion! And, unlike some destinations, what you see on the BGI website is what you get: "truth in advertising." No "enhanced" photo angles! And the breakfasts are generous, delicious, and filling! The food & wine hour is always relaxed & enjoyable.

When the Inn changed ownership late in 2007, we wondered whether its uniquely pleasing character would be maintained. Not only has it been maintained, but we felt that the new owner, Guy, has surprisingly improved on what was already a gem! The rooms have been refreshed with repainting, improved layouts, new carpeting, & updated bathrooms. The furniture arrangement in the common area downstairs lends itself more easily to socializing, if that's your choice, without sacrificing one's ability to claim your own separate private space. The landscaping was also being beautified daily.

We have been equally pleased whether staying in a larger corner room or a loft room. Be forewarned, however, that Pine, although a very nice room, can be a bit noisy in the morning since it is opposite the kitchen which gets very busy with breakfast.
