Team behind Mendocino Grove opens new boutique hotel near Fort Bragg

MENDOCINO CO., 10/27/25 — The old Pine Beach Inn site just south of Fort Bragg is getting a fresh start after sitting vacant for years. Now reimagined by the team behind popular glamping resort Mendocino Grove, Teresa Raffo and Chris Hougie are ready to debut the revamped property as Mendocino Cove, a resort that will incorporate Mendocino’s natural beauty with modern comfort and amenities. 

The new project is a 50-room boutique hotel that quietly began welcoming guests last week, with a full opening planned for November. The property will include a restaurant with a large deck overlooking a French-style garden with a water feature, a fire pit in a common area for people to gather around, eight pickleball courts, bocce ball and direct access to Pine Beach, where Hougie said they’re considering including hammocks. The resort will also feature a sauna, hot tub and cold plunge.
