The night sky
You'll see the Milky Way on clear, moonless nights, with a little glow low on the horizon.

Massive disappointment
Setting and building are lovely. Room was spacious and clean with a nice sitting area . Beds comfortable.
Disappointing experience and absolutely not worth the money (over 700 dollars a night). Food was very poor. Evening bento box was billed as gourmet and illustrated on website as such but what got produced was like a bad TV dinner... and stone cold unless you were there when they put it out... nobody tells you to be there at 5.30. Staff was pleasant but amateur... no extra effort or anticipation of guests needs. Gardens of hotel, which apparently were previously lovely, were a mess with broken furniture, hose pipes strewn around, poorly maintained paths and unfinished building work. Garden furniture heaped untidily at the front of the building. Deck unaccessable... a shame as the birdlife was good and it would have been nice to watch them from there. Will not return.
Property was beautiful, if staff was more attentive it would have been excellent.
The property was beautiful
Service was poor. No follow through, tried to get a massage asked multiple times for a massage. The day before we went there no follow through. Breakfast service was poor. Vegetarian asked for bacon 🥓 n the side that came with meal to give to mother. Very specific about this and bacon came on top of their meal. Room was above kitchen could hear workers talking in room.
Ok, but the price is too high
Good location. tesla charger is a bonus
room is too small for the price paidf
Peaceful Retreat on the Mendocino Coast
We had a wonderful first stay at Brewery Gulch Inn with our family of four. The location is absolutely beautiful and incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent, with every meal fresh and delicious. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely recommend Brewery Gulch Inn to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway on the Mendocino Coast. We look forward to coming back!
Did not disclose construction and lack of follow through
We have stayed here many times over the years and while I saw the recent critical reviews, we wanted to return. I wish we didn’t. The major problem was construction that was not disclosed. The front desk made an excuse that the owner had just decided so they couldn’t have disclosed at time of booking. Then they should have reached out or discounted the room. Construction lasted throughout the day on deck and there was a saw right under our deck. Part of the reason for booking a property like this is to be able to relax on your deck, maybe take a nap. That was impossible. The remainder of things that went wrong were more minor in comparison and if it were only one or two, than not worth mentioning but in total really highlight the lack of attention to detail or ability to follow through. For the price I would expect excellent service. -Did not response to rate inquiry before stay -made pre arrival arrangements for massages and picnic. Said they would confirm and did not. We were able to confirm once we got there, but given they said they would confirm before, we didn’t know if we would be able to have those services. - out of the same breakfast items all 3 days. Given French toast was only sweet option, they should have subbed something in. -our toilet backed up. This was resolved but gross. - the room walls are very thin, we could here constant coughing and snoring from other room. -gratuity charge, I did not see this noted at time of booking. It should at least be disclosed. $22 tip for each $30 breakfast. -agree with other recent poster on the staff, while nice, they didn’t seem to be that experienced. I brought up the construction and a few of these at checkout. There was no apology, just excuses. If there was even a hint of apology or trying to make some of this right I wouldn’t post such a critical review. Really disappointed. The good things: The bed was comfy The picnic they packed for us was yummy The massages were great
