To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

As far as cool places to stay, you can find scores of them in Northern California.   But if you’re looking for something truly unique, you must check out the Zebra Cottage at the B. Bryan Preserve. Founded in 2008 the Preserve, located a little less than an hour’s drive south of Mendocino, is home to over 60 hoofed African animals.

In honor of the Zebra species that live on the property, there’s the Zebra Cottage.
