The heart of Glendeven is a beautifully restored New England-style farmhouse set on 2½ acres of ever-flowering gardens with cozy outdoor seating areas.

Guest quarters in the Farmhouse , nearby Stevenscroft annex and the private Carriage House Suite provide undisturbed luxury, combining tasteful antiques, comfortable furniture and fine art. All accommodations feature well-lighted reading areas, private bathrooms, feather beds, CD players, hairdryers and robes. Most have fireplaces, private decks and views of the ocean.

Delicious hot country breakfasts are brought to your room to begin the day, and informal early evening gatherings in the Farmhouse living room with wine, hors d’oeuvres and fellow travelers prepare you for Mendocino’s extraordinary dining experiences.

Owners Higgins & Sharon, who bring a unique array of restoration talents and food and wine savvy to the art of innkeeping, serve as active hosts, welcoming guests as friends staying in their home.

Glendeven offers more than just lodging and a respite from phones, TV and daily pressures. The inn is a place of natural and cultural beauty, even magic, that refreshes body and spirit. With time to relax in its intimate, elegant surroundings, you’ll discover what is truly memorable on the Mendocino coast .
