A fabulous location and view! Breakfast was excellent. However, the "Ruby" Room should be avoided. It was the last available and is not on the website....for a reason. The bathroom looks charming and well-equipped but the bathtub surround does not allow drainage when the shower is used. The sour "standing-water" smell was not good. I could not enjoy the big...

Thank you for taking the time to review us on Yelp and Trip Advisor. We are happy that you liked our breakfast and the great ocean views. Sadly we were sold out when you needed a room and so offered you the "Ruby" room which we use for our family and friends and that is why it is not offered... More

I cannot say enough about Mendocino, and the Agate Cove Inn! We just returned from two nights in that area. Although we had been to Northern California several times this was our first trip to Mendocino. Mendocino is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I have even been. The town is absolutely charming, and the vistas are... More

Dear Roger and Laraine, I wanted to share with your readers about my recent visit to Agate Cove. As a previous owner of Agate Cove Inn I was excited to see and experience the changes you have have made since I was there. You graciously put my partner Doug and I in the Emerald Room. We were delighted with everything.... More

Stayed just one night on a drive from Seattle to San Francisco, but would definitely go back. Beautiful location, well maintained rooms, friendly service and an excellent breakfast. It is a short walk into town on a road without sidewalks which may be of concern to some people, but the location and view offset the minimal inconvenience.

This is our "home" in Mendocino. Laraine and Roger make us feel like members of their family --- actually more like Royal Members of their family considering the breakfasts and care that they provide. The views are outstanding, and the hammock, swing, and chairs make watching the views and reading very comfortable. Walking distance to downtown Mendocino.

My husband-to-be and I stayed here for our engagement moon (celebrating our recent unofficial engagement) and celebrating our birthdays all at once. I do not have the time to write enough good things about this BEAUTIFUL IMPECCABLE COZY CLEAN SCENIC ROMANTIC Inn.

We were attracted to the area by a two-night Groupon deal offered by the Stevenswood Resort. Because the Stevenswood Resort groupon deal must be redeemed via the internet and the website would not let us extend our stay, we made reservations at the Agate Cove Inn for three nights. We paid $279 per night at the Agate Cove Inn compared... More

We enjoy reading all of the reviews for our inn. Each review is so different and so it is interesting to read what each guest discovers and appreciates. We never want to get too comfortable as innkeepers so the reviews help keep us on our toes. Your observations about our inn tell us that we are on the right track.... More

My wife and I spent a single night here on a fantastic drive up the coast from SF to Ferndale. Medocino is a great little community, but it was nice to be on the edge of town as opposed to staying right in the thick of the action. The cottage we stayed in was beautiful. All furniture, fixtures and furnishings... More

Stayed two nights at the weekend, driving out from San Francisco. Location is good with great views of coves and the Medocino Headlands although as it is almost a mile out of town one has to drive in for dinner. The room I had was excellent with seats outside, a huge bed and a bathroom with a large tub. Decor... More

We stayed two nights at the Agate Cove Inn. It is off season so hardly anybody around. The owners are upgrading their dining area and extending it with huge windows and then extending their roof to create upstairs seating with more unabstructed views of the ocean! Can't wait to come back when that is done. Rooms are a great size.... More
