advisors.ubs.com/davisgroup Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list is comprised of approximately 5,000 financial advisors. It was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to measure factors such as: quality of practice, industry experience, compliance record, assets under management (which vary from state to state) and revenue. Although neither UBS Financial Services Inc. nor its employees pay a fee in exchange for these ratings, UBS may hire RJ Shook to be a speaker for events. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience.

The START Rescue / Bakersfield Strays Collaborative is working together to SAVE THESE DOGS' LIVES.

•

•

•

But there are many more out there waiting to be rescued.

•

•

•

Left alone to fend for themselves, these dogs, many who are pregnant or trying to raise newborn puppies, are helpless prey for coyotes and the harsh weather.

Without rescue and care, many will not survive for long. YOU can be there for them.

These rescues suffer from many health issues as a result of their abandonment.

They need medical attention, boarding and lots of care while they recover.

IT'S COSTLY TO RESCUE EACH DOG.

THEY NEED YOUR HELP. WE NEED YOUR HELP. DONATE AT:

fter a long, extremely hot summer, the idea of a late fall stay at a working cattle ranch in a rustic luxury setting is quite appealing, especially among those who enjoy riding among cool breezes and fall foliage. The good news is that one doesn’t have to travel outside of California to enjoy an immersive vacation taking full advantage of the rugged landscape.

The recently completed and opened Inn at Newport Ranch, three and a half hour’s drive outside of San Francisco, is part of a 2100-acre coastal working cattle ranch and timber preserve on the site of what was

the former town of Newport just outside Mendocino. Although the ranch itself has been under the same family ownership since 1986, the recently constructed Inn is the culmination of the family’s dream to share this magnificent property with others.

The Inn, devised by renowned architects Dave Sellers and Jim Sanford of Warren, Vermont, is flanked by a mile and a half of oceanfront, three miles of ridge tops, panoramic coastal views and 25 miles of world class trails through redwoods and along the coast. The architects’ design is contemporary yet harmonious with nature as well as the history of the area. Distinctive architectural hallmarks throughout the

property include a 20-foot-wide walkin stone fireplace, a building with an impressive cathedral-like ceiling supported by 24 individual redwood trees, and a hot tub on top of a water tower that presents commanding views of the ocean and redwood forest.

As a whole, The Inn has six rooms and four suites that can accommodate up to 26 overnight guests and build upon the public areas’ architectural style. Depending on the room or suite (each with its own theme and appointments), guests may find paneling and a mantel piece from the original ranch house, headboards from single burls and redwood slabs, fireplaces with single stone

mantels, and a stained-glass entry door depicting a local scene. Other unique features include door knobs, handles and coat hooks made from tree branches, bones and kitchen implements, lamps made from trees, A bar sink carved into a rock table, and wrap-around porch provides panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean on the west side and the ranch land and coastal hills on the east side of the property.

The Main Inn building, with three rooms (Captain’s Quarters, The Chute, Ridgeview), features hallways paneled with wide redwood boards, a six-person rooftop hot tub, and a cozy living room lined with flooring made from 30-inch-wide old growth redwood planks–some crafted out of logs left behind by the old loggers. The Redwood House, meanwhile, has a romantic ambiance projected through its Grove November 2022 |

Dining options include a full breakfast is served during a guest’s stay, while an evening Fireside Happy Hour is also included.

Barbecue and picnic sites such as Council Bluff are scattered throughout the property, if guests would like to enjoy a meal al fresco – next to the ocean, by a stream or on a magical hilltop with a 50-mile panoramic view. Just outside the property, guests can take advantage of horseback riding, hiking trails, whale watching, and guided UTV tours through the redwood forests and along the oceanfront.
