“Perfect Honeymoon Getaway!”

First of all we were blessed with the most glorious sunny and clear weather. Locals said the weather is generally great in the Fall.
My husband and I recently got married and took our honeymoon in Mendocino. We stayed in the new Lupe Gorden Suite for 4 nights of the Joshua Grindle Inn. It's a short walk from the main house. It was absolutely perfect! It was quaint, secluded, and very quiet. It was the perfect antidote to a relaxing break from wedding planning.
We loved the separate sitting room from the bedroom. We were welcomed with freshly baked cookies and a nice note from the innkeepers. The bed was very soft and comfortable. We slept very well because it was incredily quiet. Also, we liked its modern amenities with a TV and DVD player.
The innkeepers, Charles and Cindy, were the nicest hosts. We loved their breakfast, especially the artichoke souffle and the berry stuffed french toast. Freshly baked muffins were a wonderful addition. The breakfast area is quaint and we had an opportunity to meet other guests. We love that breakfast was served until 10:30. Charles and Cindy shared some great ideas on things to do while on our honeymoon.
We enjoyed a sunset picnic on the beach with a bonfire. Go to the nearest market and grab some dinner. We also took a canoe trip up the river. Charles packed a picnic for us to take on our trip. We ate at some great restaurants. 955 Ukiah had great food. Ledford House had a great view for a beautiful sunset. It was all very romantic and perfect for us. We will gladly return for our anniversary in the years to come.

“Beautiful, Immaculate & Welcoming Property!”

My husband and I were headed for a much deserved vacation to Mendocino, CA. We happened to find Joshua Grindle Inn on a web site, which is our first time staying at a bed & breakfast. What a find... it was an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip! The property was immaculate, breakfast was incredible, the warm feather bed was as if we were sleeping on a cloud, and the grounds were absolutely beautiful! Charles, Cindy & Staff treated us as if we were best friends returning back home. A warm touch was a personal welcome note when we entered our room, with a bottle of wine and cookies. Another added touch; each evening in the parlor was your choice of coffee, tea, a glass of sherry and fresh cookies (a bottle of wine was also available). We were treated with such kindness, we will definitely make a point of going back to the Joshua Grindle Inn again...we highly recommend this property.

Best regards,
Jon & Barbara

The Joshua Grindle Inn is a treat... a B & B run by real pros who have an eye for detail and a genuine interest in your comfort and well-being. We stayed in one of their nearby houses and it was quiet, charming, and well-appointed, with a real tree swing in the garden and a deep old-fashioned tub. The breakfast at the house was simply delicious. The Innkeepers are warm and welcoming. You'll love this place.

I arrived at the inn and was overwhelmed by beautiul flower gardens and a picturesque inn. The stay was magnificent. The inn was spotless and beautifully decorated with amazing attention to detail geared towards the visitor's comfort. Having breakfast on a porch overlooking the ocean was surreal. The breakfast was scrumptious and the inn and Mendocino went above and beyond my expectations. Hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. Planning a trip back in the Spring ! Also... hats off to providing a single's rate for us solo travelers- the 1st time I have ever seen that.

I've stayed here a few times, most recently this summer. Great location and staff; a bit old but still delightful.
