welcomes you with comfortable lodging to complement Summer

The true story of the Martine Inn is on the inside,
where a Victorian mansion filled with all the trappings of your annual exam
a bygone era awaits you.
And that s not all. (530) 899-7120
Out back in the garage, you ll discover the sheer
whimsy of innkeeper Don Martine s collection of
vintage MG s. Routine Exams " Health Risk
Combine all of this with a pleasant seaside location Factor Identification & Modification
near Cannery Row, and you have the makings of a " Flu & Pneumonia Vaccines " New
memorable weekend getaway. HPV & Shingles Vaccines Available
The Victorian mood of the lovely inn is evident as
soon as you walk in the front door and see the antique
grandfather clock and the 19th-century wicker baby
carriage.
Then came the big treat: after a big breakfast, Don
Martine let us see his Mg s! 670 Rio Lindo Ave, Suite 300, Chico
These cars, all in mint condition with fine leather
upholstery and steering wheels on the right side, include
two stunning, fire-engine-red models: a 1929 speed
model that can do up to 80 mph, and a 1950 von Neuman
TD Special, which won the first Pebble Beach Road Race
that year.
Only 25 1929 s were built  and only six are left.
Martine took the von Neuman Special out of the
garage for us to inspect more closely. It s his favorite.
The car, looking brand new, started up right away. You
could tell from the determined roar of the engine that it
was raring to go.
Martine then struck a rather comic pose in his dream "
car  the best-known MG in the United States  wearing "
his antique raccoon coat and his grandfather s ill-fitting
gloves with leather flares. "
It s a rare experience, we must say, dividing your time
between a charming Victorian and red-hot MG s. But
then, the Martine Inn, like its owner, is no ordinary
experience.
