Little River Inn

Come stay with us...

A world apart, yet so complete you don't want to be anywhere else...

You'll love it here. After all, the same family that founded the Inn some 8 decades ago is still happily on the job, doing what it takes to make you feel more than welcome. The hillside property provides dramatic ocean views from your room. Come enjoy the finest Mendocino lodging, for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or just to relax and enjoy our incomparable hospitality.

Dine with a view...

Recipe for a perfect North Coast evening: start with fresh local seafood, straight off the boats at nearby Noyo Harbor. Or if you prefer, thickly succulent steaks and chops form local guru of grilling, Roundman's Meats. Add the finest produce, picked from the gardens of Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, then seasoned to perfection in the hands of our master chef. Welcome to the Restaurant at Little River Inn, where you'll encounter exquisite cocktails, lovely company, scads of our neighbors and fine dining in country garden elegance.

Ole's Whale Watch Bar
The bar’s character says a lot about the inn itself. Welcoming. Unpretentious. Relaxed. For those who wish to complement the view with dinner we offer a complete bar menu offering lighter fare. The bar menu allows Dym to explore his creativity with dishes like Dungeness crab ravioli in sweet pea puree, a tart of fig, prosciutto, and roasted onion with a balsamic reduction, and combining Little River Inn’s classic fried calamari with Asian slaw. Blend in with the locals - order from the bar menu and sip a martini as you enjoy an incredible sunset over the Pacific Ocean from your seat at Ole’s Whale Watch Bar.

Third Court Salon and Day Spa...
Relax even more during your stay at the Little River Inn using our Third Court Salon & Day Spa… Treat yourself to a massage or body treatment to help you unwind and relax. Our Salon offers professional hair care, facials, and more.

Coastal golf and tennis...
An unexpected challenge awaits golfers here at Little River Inn… Tucked in the hills among the redwoods, the course offers stunning ocean views. On the course, deer, frogs, blue herons, raccoons, and other wildlife join with golfers enjoying the fresh air. The tennis courts are available free to our guests, or at $10 an hour to the public. Tennis rackets are available for rent.

Little River Inn provides the ideal setting for an unforgettable celebration. Exchange vows on the untamed beach, before the splendor of a sunrise or sunset, or under the starlit sky with the ocean's poetry whispering in the background.

At the center of the property, the handsomely gabled Victorian inn rests in quiet elegance over the Pacific Ocean surrounded by inspirational views. Your entire party will enjoy our fine amenities that make for a memorable multi-day event: pampering at the spa, unexpected challenges on the golf course, a friendly match on the tennis courts and a collection of unique rooms and cottages.
