At the Mendocino Tree House, we believe unforgettable stays should leave more than memories — they should leave a positive mark. Beyond the dollars our guests spend in local shops, restaurants, and parks, we’ve proudly contributed over $100,000 directly to fellow small businesses — creatives, craftspeople, and more — whose talents help bring our guest experience to life. As stewards of this special community, we’ve also pledged to donate 10% of our profits back to the town of Mendocino, with a focus on preserving wild lands and nurturing the local artist community. Because when you take care of the roots, the whole forest thrives.

Sustainability | Mindful by Design
Vintage & Upcycled Interiors
Every piece of furniture and decor within the Tree House tells a story. From mid-century finds to original one-of-a-kind art, 100% of our furniture and décor is vintage, upcycled, or restored, chosen not just for aesthetic, but for integrity.
By celebrating what already exists, we preserve craftsmanship, reduce waste, and allow history to live on beautifully.
Plastic-Free by Principle
You won’t find single-use plastics here. Real glassware replaces disposable cups. Bath amenities are refillable, and every product we use or provide is consciously packaged in glass, aluminum, or compostable materials.It’s simple, elegant, and kind to the coast we call home.
Organic Linens & Textiles
Our linens and towels are crafted from 100% certified organic materials, sourced for comfort and conscience alike. Every thread — from bedding to bath — is toxin-free, soft on the skin, and gentle on the planet.
Paper & Print with Purpose
From guest stationery to printed materials, all paper goods at the Tree House are made from 100% bamboo or other rapidly renewable, FSC certified fibers.These subtle details reflect our belief that every touchpoint, no matter how small, carries the potential for impact.
Clean Chemistry, Naturally
We maintain a microplastic-free, non-toxic cleaning protocol throughout the home. Every product used is certified clean — free from synthetic fragrances, harsh chemicals, or hidden additives — so the air you breathe and the surfaces you touch are as pure as the forest outside.
Waste, Energy & Waste Practices
Stewardship extends beyond design into daily practice:
Water conservation: drought-tolerant landscaping, low-flow fixtures, and thoughtful towel reuse
Energy efficiency: all-LED lighting and smart heating systems reduce waste while maintaining comfort
Waste reduction: robust composting, recycling, and minimized packaging across procurement
These efforts work quietly in the background, ensuring your stay leaves no unnecessary trace.
Rooted in Community
We believe sustainability also means connection — to people, place, and purpose. From local artisans and growers to eco-minded suppliers, every partnership reflects our values of creativity, craft, and care for Mendocino’s unique ecosystem and culture.
