Blue Door Inns is made up of three separate Victorian mansions a few blocks apart, which between them offer 19 plush rooms, each with its own whimsical elegance. Privacy and communal spirit go hand in hand here; the rooms are set apart and most have separate entrances, but numerous common areas offer plenty of chances to hang out and meet fellow guests. All three inns are in the heart of the absurdly picturesque village, which is chock-a-block with eclectic boutiques, bookstores, cafes and restaurants. They’re also within walking distance of Mendocino Headlands, the open bluffs between the town and the sea criss-crossed with walking paths.
