The Inn at Occidental is a graceful clapboard mansion in the West Sonoma County town of Occidental, framed by English gardens and towering redwoods. Sixteen individually styled rooms and a two-bedroom cottage favor antiques, art, and personality. Hiking trails, a seasonal garden pool, a family-style breakfast, and an evening wine reception anchor the stay, near beaches and lesser-traveled wineries. Pet-friendly.

The Inn at Occidental is a graceful clapboard mansion in the small West Sonoma County town of Occidental, surrounded by English gardens and framed by towering redwoods. Sixteen guest rooms and a two-bedroom cottage offer accommodations larger and more relaxed than a typical bed-and-breakfast — each room individually styled with antiques, art, and personality. Themed rooms like the Safari Suite reflect the property's eclectic sensibility, while the public spaces — parlor, library, sun porch — create unhurried gathering spaces.
The property is set on expansive open spaces with hiking trails through the surrounding redwoods and a seasonal swimming pool tucked into the gardens. A daily breakfast served family-style and an evening wine reception with cheese provide social touchpoints. Pet-friendly policies welcome travelers with companions, and the West County setting places guests near coastal beaches, redwood preserves, and lesser-traveled wineries that reward visitors who venture off the main valley routes.
Matt Meblin co-owns Inn at Occidental with his wife Vicky, a property they purchased in March 2024. The 16-room Victorian tucked among redwoods has been operating as an inn since the late 1980s, and the Meblins are its fourth ownership generation — bringing fresh energy and a wine-country focus to a building that's been part of Occidental's fabric since 1876.
Vicky Meblin co-owns Inn at Occidental with her husband Matt, having taken on the historic property in March 2024. Together they host musical performances spring through fall, oversee the new OX Wine Bar with its hyper-local Russian River and Sonoma Coast list, and steward the inn through its latest chapter while preserving the antique-filled, art-driven character that's long defined the place.
