In 1983, Rachel Binah a renowned North Coast Innkeeper and Caterer purchased a very run-down 1868 Mendocino Farmhouse with the goal of turning it into a Bed and Breakfast Inn. Two years and much sweat later she opened Rachel's Inn, one of the first B&B's in the area and launched two decades of outstanding guest services. Later the Inn was renamed Auberge Mendocino. In July 2004, Rich and Kathy Carpenito, two native New Yorkers, came to the Mendocino Coast in pursuit of their dream to own and operate a bed and breakfast in Northern California. Over the years, Auberge has added up-to-date amenities, provided unparallel service to their guests through an exceptionally attentive staff and pampered their palate with lavish breakfasts and desserts.
