Brewery Gulch Inn

Breakfast was amazing, with several choices. All excellent. I really liked the butternut squash french toast, with millionaire’s bacon.

Complimentary wine tasting every early evening

Dinner only served from 5.30 - 6.30.

The fire pit. It was great sitting around the fire at night with the other guests. The breakfasts and light dinner were perfect.

Nothing. We enjoyed everything.

The breakfast and food in general was fantastic! Much better than the typical "included breakfast" at most hotels. The service was excellent and the staff was helpful and personable. It was definitely a laid-back and comfortable place to relax, with a nice view.

So let me start with saying that we walked away from our stay VERY HAPPY and would definitely recommend this place in a heartbeat. My initial first impression when we arrived however was a little underwhelmed, but only b/c we were expecting that it was ON the ocean based on photos (maybe the angles, etc). I thought we would be able to walk from the back porch area right down to the water, but it's actually on the other side of Highway 1 and while there is still a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset, you do hear cars, etc. In the end, it really didn't matter. As we discovered, pretty much any place that is directly on the water appears to be privately owned homes. I ONLY mention this in case you are expecting "ocean front" upon your arrival. The rest of the grounds, service, food, and fire pit all more than made up for this misunderstanding. It's a really easy short drive to Mendocino Village if that is what you are looking for as well.
