We stayed at the Packard House for 3 nights during the end of November/begining of December. We had stayed at the sister property the John Dougherty House the last time we visited Mendocino and wanted to try the Packard House this time... we were not disappointed!

The Packard House has all the charm and comfort of a B&B, but offers more modern amenities. (LCD TV's, jetted spa tubs with separate showers, etc... Many of the other B&B's I checked out looked like they were decorated by my great-great grandmother...) The property is well kept and the Inn keepers were warm and inviting (Stephen made amazing gourmet breakfasts that were the perfect start to each day. The baked banana was beyond delicious!). We stayed in the Pacific View room. It had lovely views of both the village and the ocean. The room was neat and clean and looked as though we had stepped into a Restoration Hardware catalog. The Inn is an easy 2 minute walk to downtown shopping and restaurants. A perfect location and an amazing B&B!

Thank you Packard House staff for making our trip to Mendocino a relaxing one!

I spent over 3 hours on line looking for places to stay in Mendocino that were contemporary, renovated and offered amenities that I was wanted-Packard House was a fabulous choice. The Garden Cottage is like home away from home--the furnishings were clean and modern, the room had cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, soft inviting bedding and towels. We spent five days hardly getting in our car, hanging out, walking around town, hiking the highlands, eating great food at the local restaurants. Our days started with a basket of yummy fresh baked goods, homemade jam, yogurt, tea and fruit brought to our door every morning. When the Inn was not full, we had the option of eating a hot meal inside, which on the day we chose, was a wonderful egg souffle. The Inn Keepers were so warm and friendly and created an ambiance in the Inn proper and two cottages that cannot be found elsewhere in Mendocino. Believe me, I have looked! This is a get-away you will not forget. We are already thinking of when to go again!

We stopped in Mendocino on the third leg of our San Fran, Sonoma, Mendo trip. The B&B is decorated in a modern way, with beautiful furniture and bedding. We loved our room, complete with a large whirlpool and views of the ocean. Breakfasts were gourmet looking and delicious. Restaurants in the town were hit or miss. We got terrible service at MacCallum House, as did another guest of the B&B (on a different night and with a different server). The Moose was the best place we ate at. The Mendocino Hotel bar was a friendly place to have a drink after dinner.

My husband and I spent two nights in the Village View room during our honeymoon and we were definitely wowed! Damien was a gracious host who made great dinner recommendations. Our room was even bigger than the photos portrayed but otherwise they hit the mark.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything: the bed, linens, jetted tub, decor, house, and food. The chef was a delight both mornings and the food tasted great. It was so refreshing to finally find a B&B that isn't a stuffy old Victorian.

We certainly look forward to returning to the Packard House as often as possible.
