Love may be in the air this week, but all along the Mendocino Coast, romance is on the calendar every day of the year.

Spring Ranch: The historic private property on the rugged Northern California Coast is just minutes from Mendocino and state parks. The Victorian mansion boasts a wrap-around porch, stone fireplace, formal dining room and hot tub.
Crashing waves against the coastline offer a picture-perfect ceremony backdrop. But the real gem of Spring Ranch is the 1840s hay barn that came piece-by-piece all the way from our maple-leaf-loving neighbors to the north.
One of the oldest coastal ranches in California composed of a Grand Victorian which sleeps 17, an oceanview suite in an 1860s carriage barn which sleeps 2 plus a meeting room downstairs, and an 1860s event barn with expansive outdoor patios and massive fireplace. The property is surrounded by the state park on the ocean near the historic village of Mendocino.
Over by the coast, the Spring Ranch Agricultural Preserve is a 1,000-acre dairy and cattle ranch amidst a fragrant eucalyptus forest — the largest on the entire California coast. The working organic farm morphs into a rustic-chic event venue with its classic 1840s salvaged wedding barn from Ontario, Canada. On the property is a 5,500 square-foot, 19th-century Victorian home, and a honeymoon loft that invokes the feeling of being in a tree house.
