Discover Brewery Gulch Inn

Brewery Gulch Inn, which opened in March, 2001, combines yesterday's history with today's comforts. On ten acres encompassing mature pine trees, redwoods, hundreds of rhododendrons, and many native plants, Dr. Arky Ciancutti has built an extraordinary inn featuring ancient virgin redwood timbers, eco-salvaged from Big River. The site, overlooking Smuggler's Cove and the Pacific Ocean, is one-half mile south of the historic town of Mendocino at 9401 Coast Highway One North. The Inn provides a peaceful retreat for those enjoying the North Coast's many recreational opportunities and the delights of Mendocino.

The distinctive Craftsman-style redwood-shake Inn with its impressive open-sided entry, dramatically lighted ceiling timbers and pitched roof leads to a handsome handcrafted redwood entry door. The use of the first growth virgin timber is evident throughout the Inn in the rafters, paneling, windows, door frames, and deck rails. Guest rooms and common areas have details featuring the subtle beauty of the redwood's warmth and character. Craftsman-style furnishings with colors chosen to harmonize with the Inn's natural setting add to the comfort. The reception room features redwood beams and paneling, a soaring truncated, stainless-steel-faced, wood-burning fireplace, and an impressive two-story skylight. The reception desk and adjacent wine bar, featuring local wineries, are also handcrafted from the salvaged redwood. The Inn offers its guests a small gift shop with unique gifts and a library with a selection of good reading, videos, and CDs for use in the rooms. The first floor Great Room has 14-foot ceilings and redwood-framed French doors leading to a spacious ocean-view deck. Guests can relax or use the deck's telescope to explore the beautiful surroundings or view the night's starry skies.

Besides his passion for wood, owner Arky Ciancutti is an inveterate gardener. Over the past eleven years, he has planted over 3,000 bulbs each year, as well as vegetables and herbs. Groves of over 600 rhododendrons of every color and ferns grace the hillside. Visitors enjoy the variety of birds and butterflies attracted to this rural retreat. Much of the property sits within a natural hollow that provides shelter from ocean-borne winds and temperature extremes.
