where to stay
Mendocino County is a beautiful place with plenty of lodging options for guests to choose from. On-site rooms are limited at SCP Mendocino Coast Lodge and will be prioritized for family and close friends.
For our other guests, we’ve reserved a block of rooms at Seafoam Lodge in Little River (less than 5 mins from venue). To take advantage of our special rate, please book your stay by September 30, 2025.
You can reserve your room by calling 707-937-5500 and mentioning “Lizzie Cootsona.”
If you’d like to find your own accommodations, we recommend booking accommodations in Mendocino, Little River, or Fort Bragg, all within a short drive from the venue. There are many charming inns, boutique hotels, and Airbnbs available, but Mendocino lodging fills up quickly—especially in the fall—so we encourage you to book early!
