    New hotel for wedding venue - Mendocino

    Stumbled upon this GEM of an Inn when doing site inspections with my best friend for her wedding in December. They are completely transforming the property and my friend got an amazing deal by buying out the property for the weekend & taking advantage of a pre-opening buyout offer they had when she reached out. She also gets Marriott Bonvoy points for all the guest rooms she booked! Highly recommend it.

    SO Excited to see this property come to life

    I attended two weddings here when it was Hill House Inn and loved it. I am getting married in October and I was SO excited when I visited the hotel in January and saw all the AMAZING updates Trailborn is making to the hotel.
