The MacCallum House Inn, owned and lovingly restored by the Reding family, occupies a beautiful turn-of-the-century Victorian, built as a wedding present for town belle, Daisy MacCallum. Situated in the center of historic Mendocino village with a short stroll to live theater, art galleries, fine shopping, ocean bluffs and beaches, the “Mac” became the social center of town, where Daisy would offer tea and cookies to passersby. You are equally welcomed as her sunporch remains a gathering place (now the Grey Whale Bar & Cafe) where locals and visitors talk over tasty bites from the kitchen, run by Chef Alan Kantor and Julie Vetter-Kantor, sweethearts who co-own this romantic restaurant where they met a decade ago. After a drive along one of California's greatest backroads through the fine wine and champagne-producing Anderson Valley and Navarro redwoods to the coast, guests enjoy the inn’s delightful rooms, richly appointed with sleigh beds, cherry wardrobes and clawfoot tubs for two, offering amenities including fireplaces and ocean view balconies. Choose a room in the main house (including one with a ghostly visitor) or a unique accommodation in the greenhouse, barn, water tower or carriage house. In the evening, whether you dine in the casual cafe or the elegant dining rooms, all are warmed with riverstone fireplaces and offer Chef Kantor’s renowned North Coast cuisine nightly.
