Fodor's Expert Review Glendeven Inn & Lodge

If Mendocino is the New England village of the West Coast, then Glendeven—an 1867 farmhouse and several other buildings—is the local country manor, with sea views and 8 acres of gardens, complete with llamas and chickens that provide eggs for three-course breakfasts served in-room. The farmhouse has five guest rooms, three with fireplaces. The 1987 Stevenscroft Building, with its high gabled roof, contains four rooms with fireplaces. The ten large-windowed rooms of the Lodge, also erected in 1987, have flat-screen TVs (which the other two buildings' accommodations lack) and fireplaces. The carriage-house suite, above an art gallery, makes for a romantic retreat. The inn is just off the road; the quietest rooms are on the far side of the property.
