Click on the picture for a view of the parlor.	Our Albion CA lodging offers three common spaces in the main building for your enjoyment. An open wood burning hearth in the entry greets visitors. The walls and ceiling feature warm, rich-textured redwood. A library/reading room includes a TV with satellite programming, books, a FAX machine and a telephone for guest use. The "Tavern Room," a namesake common for waystations in the raucous early western days, still shows bullet holes in its original redwood ceiling. A couch and overstuffed chairs look out the large windows to the ocean while a glass-front wood burning stove adds warmth and charm during the morning meal and social hours. We serve a full gourmet breakfast and late afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres here. Back to top

	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 rate includes a full gourmet breakfast and wine and hors d'oeuvres. January 2 - April 30- rates are reduced $10. Back to top

	In the water tower structure is our "Water Tower Room." Inside you will find a beautiful cathedral-beamed ceiling and a corner brick fireplace. Three picture windows look out across the meadow to the ocean. The view is through majestic cypress trees where deer frolic with their new-born fawns and fog swirls through the tree branches. An overhead fan casts shadows from the fireplace across the timbered beams of the ceiling. Your comfort is assured by two wicker chairs, antique queen bed and dresser. A walk-in closet and separate, private bath with shower and bar refrigerator with a complimentary bottle of wine are also included. Guests are treated to a gourmet breakfast and wine/hors d'ouevres; all included for just $198 with a $10 reduction during January 2 - April 30.Back to top

Furnishings are original antiques including a table that belonged to Nathaniel Hawthorne, sideboard, chaise lounge, chairs, queen canopy bed, dresser, armoire, and bar refrigerator with a complimentary bottle of wine.

.	The "Navarro Room" takes its name from the river's name and the country lane connecting the Inn to the highway. It is bright and roomy; furnished with warm antiques, gas fireplace, bar refrigerator with a complimentary bottle of wine, and a queen bed. The Navarro is located on the second floor of the Inn and features a wide balcony which overlooks the entry gardens and waterfall-pool. The garden lights at night and the splashing waterfall immediately below the porch set a poet's theme with music and shadows for a night of romantic memories. Guests often enjoy having their morning coffee on the deck, watching the sunrise filtered through the cypress-lined pasture to the east. The private bath has a large tiled shower and a floral-pottery lavatory set in a tiled vanity. A full gourmet breakfast and lste afternoon wine is of course included. The room rate is $149.

.	The name of the "Ridge Room" commemorates the tradition of the coastal range with its finger ridges running from inland mountains to the ocean's shore. During the mid-1800's lumber mills were established at the mouth of the rivers and creeks which run between each ridge. Workers' homes were built along each of the ridge crests (which is just what the Inn became following its stint as a Stagecoach Way Station). The Ridge is large, even with its King bed, nightstands, antique rocker, desk, gas fireplace and bar refrigerator with a complimentary bottle of wine. Tasteful art decorates the walls. The extra-large bath includes a tiled shower and antique dresser-lavatory. An entry door opens to a private porch, which is adjacent to a garden pool and water fall. Our full gourmet breakfast and wine are included in the $159 room rate. January 2- April 30- rates reduced $10. Back to top

Click on the picture for a larger one.	For those wishing to get away to privacy and quiet repose I offer "The Bungalow." Located at the north end of the acreage, it is set at the head of the pasture. The view to the ocean is unobstructed and is often graced with deer frolicking with their new-born fawns. The Bungalow is rustic but modern. The main room has exposed weathered redwood paneling and beams. It is fully carpeted and features a glass-faced, gas-burning fireplace in the center. This is surrounded by a love-seat, two rockers and several throw pillows. A queen bed is at the east end of the room and a dining table at the west end in front of a large picture window. The view is across the twenty-acre meadow to the ocean. With a 400 foot elevation, the view is spectacular! There is a sleeping alcove with a queen bed; and two lofts, each with a twin bed. All furnishings are matching antiques. A fully furnished kitchen with a complimentary bottle of wine in the refrigerator, a full bath with Jacuzzi bathtub, skylight, and separate redwood shower are also included. A porch provides a perfect place to sit while watching the whales migrate, the deer browse, hawks soaring overhead, the midnight star-carpeted sky or the panoramic multi-hued sunsets. Our traditional full gourmet breakfast and evening wine/hors d'oeuvres make your stay complete. Rate: $253. January 2 - April 30- $10 reduction. Back to top
