Fodor's Expert Review Noyo Harbor Inn

Craftsman touches abound in this luxury inn's lavishly restored 1868 main structure, which overlooks Noyo Harbor, and in a nearby newer wing with Pacific Ocean views. Rooms contain plush beds and wide windows to enjoy the setting; all have French-press coffeemakers and spacious well-lit bathrooms stocked with high-quality bath amenities. Some rooms also have gas fireplaces. An excellent base for exploring the harbor and coastal trails, slipping down to Mendocino's shops and restaurants, or heading inland to Anderson Valley wineries, the property sits on carefully landscaped grounds with something in bloom much of the year. The restaurant, which has the feel of a grand Craftsman parlor, serves brunch and dinner except on Tuesday, outdoors on the harbor-view deck weather permitting. The accommodating staff members provide warm service.
