The inn was conveniently located off Hwy 1 and close to Mendocino. It provided nice views of the coast line. The room was clean though somewhat dated. The kitchen and sitting areas were useful.

The first room we were in (the Van Damme)was so-so and had a malfunctioning toilet. Then we were moved to the Captain’s Watch, which was excellent—-spacious with great views. Katie was especially helpful and welcoming.

We loved our stayed here sadly we only stayed one night plan to return. We picked the garden cottage was lovely was able to see the moon at night from our bed. Our Vizsla also had a great time and felt welcome with her own personal welcome amenity. The cottage was away from other ones so it made our stay more private.

The property was beautiful but it was cold, even with the fire. The heat didn't reach the bathroom. I am sure that the weather is usually much better so warmth is not such a problem. We just happened to be there during a cold snap. We didn't see any staff but didn't expect to. Parking outside the rooms is tight but there is plenty of parking elsewhere.

Really lovely property - the views and grounds are serene. Very pet-friendly as well. The only thing to note is some of the rooms don’t have blinds over the top window near the ceiling (e.g., Captain’s Watch) so you may wake up with the sunrise.

Love this place. We had the whale watch room with partial ocean views. The room is spacious and very pleasant. The deck is a nice place to sit, enjoy, and take in the views. Lots of vista points and hike options nearby. Super quick to pop into Mendocino. Fort Bragg is worth the short drive, too. We should have stayed another night. Can't wait for an opportunity to come back again.

What a quaint and cute cottage. Loved the room and freshly ground coffee! It's a ROKU TV, so have your passwords ready, but all was great! Would have been nice to have a couple of breakfast items. Otherwise, enjoy! Beautiful view!

Quiet with all we needed for a comfortable stay. We were in a single room cottage. The closet was tiny and our cottage had no additional storage so come prepared to keep your things in your suitcase. Also no streaming on the TV so we didn’t turn it on. Kitchen area also with minimal storage and a tiny refrigerator Ok for a short stay

Our cabin was quiet and tucked away. The bed was comfortable and our view was to natural forest behind - two chairs and a coffee table on the deck were a nice touch, the bathtub is okay for those who like to soak but we prefer showers and would rather that space provided a more up to date shower. The shower was small and faucets etc. Cold and corroded. If you stay, ask for daily maintenance or they don't do it. We were four miles south of Mendocino and that worked out just fine, it was quaont and comfortable.

Cute cottages by the ocean. There was not a great view of the ocean compared to neighboring residences. The temperature control was a bit finicky as it was controlled by an electronic fire stove. Okay location to get to nearby towns and hikes.

It was lovely to be just 2 miles from Mendocino, with views of the Ocean and having a full cottage with kitchen and dining table. Fairly rustic, not luxury in any means but great value for the price. Careful, the Rose Garden cottage is not a 2 bedrooms cottage. It can sleep 4 but the entire space is open (bedroom has no door) and has large opening to the living room where the sofabed is for the other 2 guests.
