Our Facilities, Second to None!
Planning a getaway to a remote destination can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, especially when it comes to the amenities on offer. We’re here to put your mind at ease. Whether you're staying in one of our cozy rooms, looking for leisure activities to enjoy with loved ones, or seeking relaxation, we've got everything covered for you.
The Great Room
The heart and soul of Brewery Gulch, the enormous Great Room, is anchored by an iconic, four-sided glass and steel fireplace fabricated by a local shipbuilder. This gathering place is filled with light tumbling down from the central core’s three-story-high skylight and flooding in from a bank of 13-foot-high, redwood-trimmed French doors overlooking Smuggler’s Cove. Guests can relax in a comfortable living room seating area with overstuffed furniture in the style of Gustav Stickley.
Surrounding this area are tables of quarter-sawn oak where guests sample the chef’s creations. A small library of books, an amazing 700+ DVD collection featuring classic, contemporary, and foreign films, and an extensive selection of games can be found along the south wall of the Great Room. A guest computer and printer with Internet access are located on a desk across from the reception desk. A large selection of coffees and teas, along with fresh pastries and fruit, can be found on the sidebar in the Great Room.
Guest Accommodations
Soothing earth tones, tasteful furnishings, and a Zen-like style and ambiance connect this inn to the California coast. All of our individual guest rooms, with the exception of the Meadowview Suite, feature ocean views. All accommodations feature gas fireplaces, down comforters and pillows (hypoallergenic option available), feather beds, Sferra fine linens, turndown service on request, and Le Labo Hinoki bath products.
For added comfort, you'll find Abyss thick cotton towels, lighted makeup mirrors, Giessdorf showerheads, flat-panel televisions with built-in DVD players and Direct TV, Wi-Fi access, complimentary local and long-distance calls, plush robes, and rich leather club chairs for relaxing by the fire.
Farm-to-Table
The cuisine at the inn draws primarily from organic and locally sourced products. In 2009, a heritage garden was planted in a garden plot provided to the inn by Ferrington Vineyards in the nearby Anderson Valley. The bounty from this garden provides some of the seasonal fruits and vegetables used in the preparation of the acclaimed breakfasts and afternoon appetizers served to the guests.
The coffee served at the inn is a special blend crafted by Thanksgiving Coffee, a local Mendocino roaster. Coffee grounds and all organic kitchen matter, as well as used ashes from non-treated firewood, are composted. All of the inn’s laundry products are scent and phosphate-free, and an in-house recycling program is in place to address non-recyclable and non-compostable waste.
The Grounds
The efficient drip irrigation system at the inn was installed by hand over six months with no machinery; tunneling was done under tree roots with a crowbar in order not to damage trees. After fifteen years of planning and several years of permit work, the ponds that were envisioned as part of the property’s overall wetlands restoration were completed in 2005.
The ponds are kept clean and are conducive to plant and animal life through a system of natural rock filters. They require no chemical additives. The majority of the plantings surrounding the ponds are plants, grasses, shrubs, and flowers native to this region. Throughout the grounds of the inn, no herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides are used.
