Joshua Grindle Inn

Cozy lovely place to stay! I found this second floor of the water tower such a unique and well appointed little spot - it truly feels like a tree house stay! Perfect for the solo traveler or a couple. I would absolutely stay again. The word burning fireplace was lovely - they provide a log for each night so I popped it in before I fell asleep and it was just perfect

We stayed at The Joshua Grindle Inn In Mendocino for one night during our trip around Northern California and Oregon, we wished we could have stayed longer but we were on a tight schedule. After a long drive from Trinidad and through the Avenue of the Giants we arrived during in the afternoon. We were warmly greeted by the owner who gave us a brief history of the Inn. He then showed us to our room The Library. Our room had everything we needed. Mendocino is a beautiful place with a rugged coastline. There are plenty of places to eat. We enjoyed our breakfast which included home made banana bread and lovely scones. A wonderful place to stay.

We have been to Mendocino many times over the years but this is the first time we’ve stayed here at Joshua Grindle. It could not have been better in any way. The grounds are beautiful, our cottage north was comfy and cozy and the big bed was lovely. Outside of our window are 4 giant centinal trees. We could also see the sunset through these windows. Ken and Kate, the owners were lovely and welcoming and there is nothing we wish were different. Continental breakfast with homemade granola, scones and banana bread along with fruit and yogurt was perfect to start our day. Because Mendo is a small village, we could walk everywhere. We will definitely return. Thanks Ken and Kate for a perfect getaway.

Due to the treacherous weather during our stay, we were moved to a lovely safer room inside the house, the library. The room was charming, clean, and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the warm fire at nighttime, and the lovely breakfast in the morning. It was our second time here, and we will be back again!

We stayed in the 2nd floor Watertower room. It was very comfortable. It is interesting to see how the exterior geometry of the building shows up in subtle ways from the inside. The location is just a short walk to get to the main commercial part of town. The staff was very friendly and thoughtful. We would certainly stay here again if our travel plans bring us back to Mendocino.

In a town of great inns and BnBs, this one stands out for its comfort and warmth. Missy, who greeted me on arrival, could not have been kinder or more helpful. She seemed genuinely to care about her guests and to take an interest in our experience. I stayed in the water tower (middle level!), which had a gorgeous view of the town all the way to the ocean -- and a real fireplace as well. I enjoyed having the option to use the main house and living rooms for cups of tea and homemade cookies, just to lounge and chat to other guests after the buffet breakfast or in between my walks to town. Really fabulous books on history of the area -- and the owner Ken is very friendly and happy to share his knowledge too. I will be back.
