Perched high on a bluff top overlooking Smuggler’s Cove and the Pacific Ocean, the Brewery Gulch Inn is a bed-and-breakfast property that is cathedral-like over the dramatic Northern Mendocino coast. Constructed in 2001 from 150-year old redwood that was eco-harvested from the bottom of the nearby Big River, the romantic inn is scenic and aesthetically refreshing. It is surrounded by serene gardens and restored wetlands. Its main building boasts a 15-foot cathedral ceiling in the Great Room, complete with a stunning, four-sided glass-and-steel fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows for guests to take in the dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean.

It’s no wonder the Mendocino Coast’s romantic Brewery Gulch Inn is one of the recipients for the Condé Nast Traveler’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards. On the heels of being named #3 “Best Destination Resort” in the USA Today’s 2019 10 Best Readers' Choice travel awards.

Architect Caroline La Pere utilized these woods and more to create an environment that is expansive yet cozy, modern yet timeless, and light-filled yet earthy. Hummingbirds buzz and birds chatter outside the windows, while deer, turkeys, and other wildlife roam the meadow outside the Inn. 

All of the inn’s 10 romantic guestrooms provide picture perfect views of Smuggler’s Cove, while many of them offer deep soaking tubs and private decks. Each guestroom offers soothing earth tones, feather beds cloaked in Sferra linens, state-of-the-art flat panel televisions, DVD players, charging stations and Bluetooth speakers. And in the bath, Molton Brown and Asprey products, Himalayan bath salts, and thick Abyss towels allow guests to indulge.

“We feel privileged that our guests enjoyed their stays so much that they took time out of their busy lives to cast their votes for our inn,” states Guy Pacurar, owner of the Brewery Gulch Inn. “We strive to provide an inimitable experience and to have a highly regarded publication such as Condé Nast Traveler recognize the Inn in this way means the world to us.“

The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and are commonly known as “the best of the best of travel.”  The 2019 Readers' Choice Awards are published exclusively on Condé Nast Traveler's website and celebrated in the November 2019 issue (on newsstands nationwide in October).

The Brewery Gulch Inn features three extraordinary acres of mature pines and redwoods, wooded glens, wetland ponds, and gardens. While surrounded by nature’s finest, this serene property does offer many modern amenities and a full-time executive chef with an extensive array of culinary offerings, from a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast, to an innovative dinner buffet highlighting locally-sourced, organic ingredients.
