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.

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.
