MacCallum House Inn & Restaurant

Frommer's Review

A historic 1882 gingerbread Victorian mansion, MacCallum House is one of Mendocino's top accommodations. Originally owned by Daisy MacCallum, the daughter of the town's richest lumber baron, the inn remained in the family until 1974, when it became a B&B. With the occasional Tiffany lamp or Persian carpet, each uniquely decorated guest room and suite is furnished with many original pieces -- a Franklin stove, a handmade quilt, a cushioned rocking chair, or a child's cradle. All have private bathrooms, many with claw-foot or spa tubs for two. The luxurious barn suite with a stone fireplace can accommodate up to six. The inn also offers a variety of vacation rentals and even a separate inn, the historic 1882 Mendocino Village Inn. The popular restaurant on the premises serves sophisticated North Coast cuisine ranging from pan-seared Sonoma duck breast with huckleberry-honey-vinegar sauce, to roasted Pacific salmon with saffron-pistachio risotto and arugula pesto. Lighter fare, including a complimentary afternoon glass of wine or beer, is served at the inn's Grey Whale Bar & Cafe. Free passes to a nearby health club are available as well. And unlike most inns in the area, both pets and children are welcome.
