The "Tower Suite" is the perfect romantic retreat at our Mendocino lodging. It is built around the struts of a water tower which dates from the 1890's. The suite has impressive redwood beams which have weathered over the years to a rich and warm textured wood grain. The beams come through the four corners of the sitting room floor and remain exposed as they continue through the cathedral ceiling. A fireplace is framed by the cross-members of the tower as are two giant picture windows which look out over our pasture to the ocean. A beautiful polished wood staircase wraps around one of the corner struts leading to the bedroom loft.  

This suite is furnished in antiques with a queen sized bed, dresser with folded wing mirrors, an armoire and occasional chair. Dormer windows face east and west. It is open through the cathedral ceiling with the struts criss-crossing as they pass through the roof. Flames from the fireplace cast dancing shadows from the struts on the ceiling at night.  

Downstairs is a completely furnished kitchen with a complimentary bottle of wine in the refrigerator and a full bath with shower tub. Our $198 nightly rate includes a full gourmet breakfast.
