Willits, Mendocino County

We’ve spent part of the last few summers visiting friends in Mendocino County and it has been truly the most magnificent experience—the landscape, the scents, the feel of the air and the look of the sky. The way the roads twist and turn over mountain passes. The vast expanse of space. Nothing on the east coast could ever prepare me for that.

Everyone talks about Mendocino but I rarely hear anyone speak about inland Mendocino County—and they are MISSING OUT. I’m working on my personal guide to the area but if you are heading that way, drop me a line and I’ll send you the very, very best place to stay.
