My husband and I were in desperate need of some time away from work and home and decided to visit Mendocino (we haven't been in about 4 years). I spent a whole lot of time looking at a lot of websites for B&Bs and motels in the area. I really wanted to stay in the village of Mendocino (not Fort... More

In the 1990's and the early part of the last decade, the Whitegate Inn was the place to stay in Mendocino. For the past 15 years when I visited Mendocino, I stayed at the Whitegate. The property was taken over by the bank around January, and new owners are expected in June. At this time the inn is but a... More

We immensely enjoyed our stay at the Whitegate inn. I think they are under temporary new management - Brandon and James were our hosts and they were pleasant. The inn might now be part of a chain of inns (based on the brochures in the parlor) but they appear to have kept things mostly the same: we had tasty wine... More

This place is perfectly charming, and reminiscent of all that I love about Mendocino. You almost feel like you've stepped back in time by staying here, yet everything is beautifully decorated. My room had a view of the ocean, and it was wonderful waking up to that each morning. The owners' dog, Corky, is just as sweet as can be... More

Plenty of "Foo Foo" but aging antique furniture is in need of repair. Couches & chairs in rooms and common rooms are shot, in need of new cushions and springs. Our bed was collapsed on one side and gave me an astonishing backache. Cheap wine & cheese, ho hum breakfast. They brag about attentive service, but I did not share... More

We stayed here for two nights and loved the position of the inn and all it has to offer. We booked relatively last minute and had Spring Meadow, the smallest room of the 6. However, it was still very comfortable. We looked at the other rooms whislt they were being cleaned and they are all lovely. The two breakfasts we... More

A quaint Victorian B&B with friendly staff, gourmet breakfasts and plush terrycloth bathrobes included. Aside from these features, though, it was a disappointment. The staff makes a big deal about the plush beds, but I have a bad back and found the experience like sleeping on a park bench. They have a nightly wine-and-cheese tasting from 5 to 6, but... More

This lovely B&B, set in the picturesque, very dog-friendly town of Mendocino, CA is a a great get-away, with or without a canine companion. Gorgeous breakfasts prepared by Dixia, their French-born chef, and happy hours in their elegant drawing room. In such a setting, it'd be easy to feel stuffy. Just the opposite. The staff and owners couldn't have been... More

Elegant, comfortable, nurturing, fun, and totally relaxing, we stayed in two separate cottages, as the first one (with a terriffic hot tub and sauna) was rented the second night of our stay. We were upgraded (at no extra cost) to a lovely cottage behind the main house with an amazing feather bed! My wife doesn't want me to rave too... More
