A Green Destination

At The Inn at the Cobbler’s Walk, we are surrounded by the spectacular beauty of nature everyday, and we want to help protect that beauty by providing green Mendocino Accommodations for our guests.

We use organic wheat flour for baking, organic juicing oranges for your fresh squeezed morning OJ, and of course our eggs are organic from our own chickens!

We are an official Tesla Charging station location, as well as a Clipper universal charger for all other cars. This is a free service for all inn guests.

We use 100% recycled paper including for our offices and in your room for your bath tissue!

We strive to minimize our carbon footprint as much as possible.

As our part of our ongoing effort to be an environmentally friendly Mendocino Inn, we continue to work on finding new ways to buy locally and maximize use of environmentally sound cleaning supplies.

We also use all compostable and edible kitchen waste for composting or supplemental chicken feed.

We are committed to maximizing our recycling efforts and minimizing our contributions to landfills.

Private Wine Tour

Take a private customized day trip in our luxurious Audi Q7 through the redwoods into the heart of the world-renowned Anderson Valley wine country on a memorable private wine tour. Tours are daily from 9:30 to 4:00 pm by pre-arranged appointment

From Wine Spectator, “The Anderson Valley AVA is 16 miles long and 5 miles across at its widest, and is bordered on three sides by low mountains as it twists and unfurls through small towns and vineyards, following the Navarro River out to the Pacific.”

After a leisurely in-room breakfast, your experienced and knowledgeable driver will take you from the Glendeven property departing at 9:30 am. You’ll head down the coast, through the redwoods, and into the spectacular Anderson Valley. Enjoy the views of the sky and the towering redwoods through the panoramic all-glass roof as you make your way inland to the Anderson Valley.

Your tour is customized to your tasting preferences, and we offer opportunities for behind-the-scenes experiences as well. Lunch at an Anderson Valley eatery is included, as are any tasting fees. You’ll return to the Glendeven property by 4:00 pm.

NOTES: Driver gratuity not included. The vehicle holds up to six guests, but most people want to use the rear storage for wine purchases!

$425 for two guests (includes lunch)
$100 per person above two (4 maximum)

Our Animals

Glendeven’s Llamas

Glendeven is home to llamas that traveled to the Mendocino Coast with owners John and Mike from their mountain home in Southern California when they bought Glendeven Inn & Lodge in 2007.

They are not aggressive and can be seemingly aloof. That’s because they know you are the Alpha in their hierarchy. Glendeven Inn & Lodge guests are welcome to go out into the pastures, just be sure to close all the gates behind you. Please do not go out in the pasture after dark.

Please do not feed them unsupervised – we feed them in the morning and at dusk, and you are welcome to come and feed them at that time.

Llamas do spit, but only at each other to establish pecking order, and generally their tiffs are over food. Their diet consists of browsing on leaves and trees and grazing on grasses. For a treat, and in harsh or dry weather, their diets can be supplemented with hays and grains. They require a low amount of protein – their native habitat is in the Andes at high elevations where forage can be sparse.

Llamas are in the genus Camelid and are related to camels, alpacas, guanacos, and vicunas. They are originally from the Andes and were the first domesticated animals and are used for their fleece, milk, packing ability, and even meat. But not here. We just have them because we like to look at them.

Glendeven’s Chickens

We love our chickens!

We feed them organic feed and let them out each afternoon so that they can hunt for bugs and peck for greens. This way they stay healthy and happy so they’ll lay the best eggs.

Guests are welcome to go feed the chickens located between the Inn and the Lodge.

We leave a satchel of chicken feed in each room on arrival just in case you want to go out in the chicken yards and thank the girls for their contribution to your breakfast.

Safety & Security

Traveler Safety

Do not admit anyone into your room without first verifying his or her identity. If you are unsure of someone claiming to be a hotel employee, call the Front Desk for verification before allowing entry.
Keep your room key with you at all times. Do not leave it unattended in your room or elsewhere.
Report any suspicious activity that you observe to the management.

Fire Safety

If you hear an alarm or smell smoke, act immediately; don’t just investigate.
To report a fire, dial 911. Then go to the door. If it is hot, do not open it. Cover the crack at the bottom of the door with wet towels, fill your bathtub with water, and signal from your window. Do not break the window or jump from it. Cover your mouth and nose with a folded wet towel. Wait to be rescued.
If the door is not hot, and there is no dense smoke in the corridor, take your key, lock the door behind you and head for the nearest exit. If there is some smoke, crawl; the freshest air is near the floor. Proceed quickly but calmly. Do not panic.

Earthquake Safety

If you feel any shaking:

Drop, cover and hold on: drop down to the floor as soon as you perceive an earthquake has started; drop down before the earthquake drops you down. Then seek shelter under a desk or table. Crouch down on your knees so that you can move with the table. Hold on to the table leg(s) so you can keep the table over you.
If there is no nearby desk or table, sit on the floor against an inside wall, away from windows, tall furniture or bookcases. Draw up your knees, bend your head toward your knees. Protect your head and neck with your arms.
Go outside once the shaking stops. Make sure you are wearing sturdy shoes before leaving the building. If possible take valuables and medications. Avoid touching downed power lines. If access to exit doors is blocked by earthquake damage, wait for a rescue team.

Tsunami Safety

If you are at the beach or near the ocean and you feel the ground shake or see rapidly rising or falling coastal water levels, move immediately to higher ground and stay there until local authorities say it is safe to return. DO NOT wait for a warning to be announced. If the tsunami is caused by a remote earthquake or volcanic eruption, you will be alerted by a siren, radio or television broadcasts, local first responders and/or an alarm at the hotel.

Often the first wave may not be the largest. The danger from a tsunami can last up to 12 hours after the arrival of the first wave. Tsunamis move faster than a person can run, and can be 30 feet high or higher; sometimes much higher. Never stay near shore to watch a tsunami come in.
