The Brewery Gulch Inn

The Brewery Gulch Inn is your perfect northern California getaway. Tucked into the hills of the scenic Mendocino coastline, you will feel enveloped in seclusion before even leaving your car. The inn itself feels like visiting an old friend; a friend whose company you never want to leave and can't wait to return to. The first thing you see through the entrance doors is the Great Room, a wide-open space used for dining and relaxation. It is the perfect spot to eat, drink and enjoy the company of those around you. The guest rooms are quiet and luxurious, fitting perfectly into this modern cabin paradise. Enjoy a book and wine by the fire or relax on your back patio overlooking a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. Look above and around you, nothing but Redwood trees and wildlife. If you'd like to explore the local scene, Fort Bragg and Mendocino are just a short drive up the road.

Proprietor Guy Pacurar and General Manager Steven Smith are incredibly helpful, insightful and friendly hosts.  They, along with all members of the staff, greeted us with open arms and made us feel welcome. This is a truly special place and is the perfect spot for your next Northern California vacation!
