While the folks at check in were friendly this place was serviceable at best. Dated / shabby, they had done the best with what they had. The spa was closed for refurbishment but our room was supposed to have a whirlpool bath…it did not. We will not be staying here again and would not recommend.

A room in the woods
The Inn was a nice setting in the forest across the street from the ocean. The room was spacious on a second floor with a patio outside. I felt a bit unsafe. There was no gate or security. Our glass door had a lock but still it lead to the outside. I was disappointed that there was no housekeeping. At that price I was expecting at l at my beds to be done but they weren’t. The bed was a tad hard for my liking. The shower head had low water pressure. No phone in the room. We had a small bottle of wine as a welcome gift which it was nice. The Inn was about 3 miles by car to Mendocino town. Not too bad if you have a car. Overall was a nice stay.

The cottage we stayed in was very private and cozy. The bed was super comfy and nice bedding too. We asked for a second lamp so we could each read at night and they were very accommodating. The cottage is a little funky/old and didn’t seem 5 star clean, but was very comfortable for our 2 nights there.

Quaint
We had a very lovely one night stay in the Buckhorn Cove room. Overlooks the ocean. Loved having a real coffee pot with good coffee in the morning. There was a personalized note with a bottle of local chardonnay waiting for us. The staff/owners could not have been any nicer!!
