Five Generations of Mendocino Coast Hospitality

Perched on the edge of the Pacific, just a few miles south of Mendocino Village, Little River Inn has welcomed guests for five generations. The family-owned resort offers guest rooms for every budget, each with sweeping ocean views. Many rooms are also pet-friendly and feature fireplaces, soaking tubs, steam showers, or private hot tubs. A trail leads down to Van Damme State Park, where guests can relax on the beach, explore tidepools, kayak, or hike through the redwoods. Warm hospitality, a scenic nine-hole golf course, and a popular restaurant and bar add to the inn’s enduring appeal.
