Circa '62 at the Inn at Schoolhouse Creek

In 1862, just ten years following the arrival of the first settlers on the Mendocino Coast (and a year before Lincoln's Gettysburg Address), mill owner and rancher Charles Perkins, built the Inn's historic Ledford Farmhouse. In 1888, Perkins built a mansion on the hill to the south of the Inn and, in so doing, renovated the farmhouse to give to his daughter as a wedding present. The coffered old growth redwood ceilings you see while dining at Circa '62 were added for the wedding and were quite the statement of affluence and style for the time.

Since September of 2012 we have done our best to live up to the beauty of our historic farmhouse setting by serving a great breakfast that shows off the best local stuff, has a sense of fun and is really just an extension of our own home... we can't wait to meet you!

If you are traveling with children we are happy to cater to their unique culinary desires.

Breakfast in bed is always an option for our guests; simply call the desk and we'll be happy to bring breakfast right to your cottage.
