The Inn at Newport Ranch will open this month in Fort Bragg along Northern California’s Mendocino coast.
Located north of San Francisco and the historic town of Mendocino, the newly constructed inn will sit on a 2,000-acre, oceanfront cattle ranch—where the town of Newport once was—that has been in property founder Will Jackson’s family since 1986.
Warren, Vermont-based architects Dave Sellers and Jim Sanford designed the inn with an emphasis on rustic craftsmanship and locally inspired materials. The building itself will be supported by 24 individual redwood trees and will sport soaring cathedral-style ceilings, a 20-foot-wide stone fireplace, and a stained-glass entryway. A communal kitchen area will feature a 10-person table crafted from a single redwood slab.
The Main Inn will feature hallways paneled with redwood boards, a living room with matching plank flooring, three intimate guestrooms, and a six-person, rooftop hot tub and sauna.
The adjacent Redwood House will offer three themed suites that can accommodate more than 14 guests with private hot tubs, outdoor terraces, kitchens, and an outdoor grill. Also adjacent to the Main Inn, the private Sea Drum residence will accommodate as many as ten people at a time.
Guests will have access to 20 miles of hiking and riding trails, a hot tub that sits atop a water tower with ocean views, a spa, horseback riding, whale watching, and guided ATV safaris through more than three miles of ridge tops and redwood forests.
