Goldilocks wishes she stumbled across The Inn at Schoolhouse Creek. This week's Escape whisks you off for a night at this Mendocino bed and breakfast, and all you have to do is choose between the charming Anderson Valley, Buckhorn Cove, Point Cabrillo, or Van Damme rooms ($115). Cottages and rooms boast roaring fireplaces, spacious decks, free Wi-Fi, and ocean views. And at half the usual price, even Goldie would agree this Escape is just right.
Forget porridge. Awake instead to fresh brewed coffee, buttery pastries, and a complimentary feast of other homemade breakfast treats. Then, indulge at the Inn's Creekside Spa, where Escapees enjoy $50 toward any Signature Treatment (Insider tip: Try the Total Escape). This two-hour taste of heaven starts with fragrant oils, custom mixed, then rubbed from your scalp to your feet.
Rested and rejuvenated, you're ready to explore. Between the B&B's nine-acre property and California's Mendocino Coast, there are plenty of adventures in store. Savor a picnic at the Inn's private beach cove, or gallop on horseback along the shore. Catch some waves at Schooner Gulch, or hike, bike, and search for seals at MacKerricher State Park. Sip through this vineyard-filled valley with vineyard tours, or witness unique sights like Glass Beach or the Drive-Thru Tree.
Named the most picturesque town by Sunset Magazine, Mendocino Village is also a must-see. Stroll through galleries of local art and pottery, or browse the town's quaint boutiques. Catch one of the Mendocino Theatre Company's shows or take in a sunset dinner at Pacific Tapas.
Whatever you crave, Mendocino lets you live out your fantasies. From seaside suites to five-star spa treatments, this Escape is one fit for the storybooks.
