Mendocino is worth the twisty drive to get there. My wife and I enjoyed our one-night stay at the Joshua Grindle house. We stayed in the lower level of the water tower (photo). The room was roomy, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was very good. The owner Ken was friendly and informative. We recommend it!

A charming place: old-fashioned in appearance but with modern conveniences inside. (Except no tv.) Friendly service and a satisfying breakfast, with home-baked delicious scones, banana bread, fresh fruit and more. A 10 minute walk from downtown.

Beautiful property, comfortable rooms, beds, and pillows. Very friendly and accommodating hosts! The breakfast in the morning is yummy (including home made scones!) It’s walking distance from all the best places in town and you can see the ocean. There’s even a friendly cat!

The experience and inn is just fantastic! Great setting and Grindles are just right in everything they do from breakfast to rooms to firepit! Meadowview was quiet and great with deck and chairs to enjoy the surroundings. Steps into village and all the wonderful amenities!

The Grindle continues to be a delightful stay in beautiful Mendocino. In keepers Ken and Kate carry in the tradition well, scones for breakfast are their signature on that tradition. A short walk to shops and restaurants, as well as the gorgeous headlands is the traveler’s delight. You can of course drive from here to the many scenic and educational sites, even take a Redwood outrigger canoe up Big River. Don’t miss dining at Luna, Beaujolais or Trillium.

This place is an absolute gem. Everyone was so friendly (including the resident cat who would come out to greet us each morning), the scones were delicious, and the garden totally stunning. We stayed in Tower II and it was perfectly quaint and cozy for weathering the ill march weather. For anyone looking to stay in the area I'd quickly recommend this place.

Absolutely delighted to discover this gem. Charming clean and so well accommodated. From breakfast to plenty of outlets and towels. This place is fabulous. If you want to spend time in Mendocino grab a room at the Joshua Grindle Inn and say hello to your hosts Ken and Kate!
