We felt an instant sense of calm from the moment we arrived. Our room was warm and inviting, with beautiful wood accents and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The real fireplace with complimentary firewood added an extra touch of coziness.
One of the highlights of our stay was dining at Ravens Restaurant, where every meal is 100% vegan and made from ingredients grown right on the property. The food was not only delicious but also nourishing, making us feel great about what we were eating. We tried the ravioli, sushi, and the beet salad! It’s the kind of place where you can truly savor each bite, knowing it’s been thoughtfully prepared.
Stanford Inn is all about relaxation and wellness. We loved starting our day with a peaceful yoga session, followed by a refreshing dip in the saltwater pool. The spa is a must-visit, offering soothing massages that melted away all our stress.
For those looking to dive into something new, the inn offers a variety of engaging classes—from gardening and plant-based cooking to foraging for mushrooms. And if you’re feeling adventurous, they provide canoes at Catch a Canoe, so you can explore the stunning surroundings at your own pace. We took our dogs out on one and it was the best experience!
A unique touch to our stay was the presence of rescued donkeys, horses, and llamas on the premises. Interacting with these gentle animals added a special kind of joy to our trip.
