We just returned from our second stay at the Joshua Grindle. I agree with the other comments. The Grindle is just spotless and you feel so comfortable there. I have been to other B&B's and was kind of lukewarm on the idea. The Grindle is wonderful. Charles and Cindy are so warm and down to earth and really want to... More

I just returned from my second visit in this lovely Inn. As before, the room was very comfortable, complete with lots of a pillows, armchairs and good lights for reading, and a little gas "fireplace". I especially enjoyed the beautiful view across the garden and town to the Pacific. All sort of little touches made me feel very welcome, such... More

We drove up the coast from San Francisco and had a 2 night stay. After an all day coastal drive to get there, plus having an interesting old town and nearby state parks et cetera, you need to stay for 2 nights (or more). I always look for a cozy B&B, friendly and helpful hosts, tasty breakfast, and good location... More

We had a two night stay at this B&B and it was a wonderful experience overall. Breakfasts were wonderful, service excellent and the room was spotless and nicely decorated. Great location too. Within walking distance of everything in Mendocino. We stayed there aprox. 2 years ago in another room but liked this one much better. The "Master" suite was very... More

This was my dream birthday trip come true! Our weekend in Mendocino (my first!) couldn't have been more wonderful. Our close friends introduced us to the Joshua Grindle Inn, where they have stayed many times, and who consider it their Mendocino "home away from home". Charles made us feel so welcome and at-home immediately upon our arrival. Our beautiful room... More

Used a Groupon for this visit. Made it a great value. Cindy and Charles are wonderful hosts. Food was good and the room delightful. Beautiful grounds. They make your dinner reservations for you and will tell you all about the area.

The Joshua Grindle was the perfect place to stay, whilst enjoying Mendocino and it's wonderful nature surroundings. Cindy and Charles were very kind and helpful and the breakfast they served - gourmet deluxe! Thank You! Catherine

We completely enjoyed our visit to Mendocino in no small part to our stayat the Joshua Grindle Inn. Charles and Cindy were just wonderful hosts and hostesses. They are so gratious and all of their suggestions were perfect. We brought our bikes up to Mendocino and wanted to find a good place to ride. They suggested the Little River trail... More

Mendocino is a charming town on the north California coast and Joshua Grindle is just the kind of B&B you hope to find in this kind of town. Cindy is a gracious hostess and makes every guest feel welcome. Charles & Cindy work together beautifully to cook and serve wonderful breakfasts. I scheduled a massage for my first morning there...

I stayed at the Joshua Grindle Inn 15 years ago, and remembered a lovely room, an incredible breakfast, and friendly innkeepers and staff. It's just as good as I remembered. I stayed in a different room, which was spacious and quiet, and had a spa tub and gas fireplace, among other amenities. The location is perfect--a short walk from the... More
