We stayed at the Griffin House for 4 nights, Wed thru Sunday. The room we stayed in was called the Gunderson. It did not have a view of the ocean, or anything else for that matter. It was definitly rustic, which is fine. It had a wood burning stove for heat and they supplied us with plenty of fire wood.... More

Spent two nights again at the Griffin House Inn in Elk, CA nearing Valentine's Day. We stayed in one of the three cabins overlooking Elk Cove. No need to go anywhere! Robes are provided to lounge around either inside the cabin or out on your private deck. In both places the views of the ocean, cove and sea stacks are... More

I was given a night stay to this charming spot for a Christmas gift. My fiance and I were on a northern california road trip and we made this one of our stops. It was such a special trip especially because of our stay at Griffin House. It was winter time on the Mendocino coast and a cold storm came... More

We have stayed at the Griffin house in Elk California 3 times and each time totally enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The cottages are on the water they are quaint, clean and very comfortable. There is a pot belly stove stocked with wood to keep you warm on a cold night. About 9AM the staff will knock on your... More

We stayed in the LiFoo cottage at Griffin House Inn last weekend after visiting Ft. Bragg's Sea Glass Beach -- a must! We were checked in at the inn's pub by a worker who said she was new to the place. She was friendly and did a fine job making us feel welcome and leading us to the cottage nearby.... More

I stayed here a while ago and I'm still thinking about it! It's very rustic and relaxed, so if you are expecting luxury, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for seclusion, quiet, and a million dollar view, then this is the place. I would suggest paying the extra money for a cabin with a direct ocean view. Overall... More

We have been going to the Griffin House Inn for more than 20 years, mostly because we love the quiet and beautiful location of Elk. The view from the spacious decks of the three ocean-view cottages at Griffin House is gorgeous, and you can hear the ocean clearly below. The cottages are old (there's a pot-bellied stove for heat), but... More

Our two-night stay in the Matson Cottage was perfect. Beautiful, cozy room. Comfortable bed. Impeccably clean. Full breakfast served on your front steps every moring. But all of that pales in comparison to the real reason you go to the Griffin House: as you walk to the back of the cottage, you face three windows and a glass door to... More

We stopped at the Griffin Inn while traveling along Highway 1, and it proved to be a wonderful place to rest and relax. The staff was really nice, and welcome us with a bottle of wine. When making the reservations, they inquire about our food preferences, etc. The Inn is just a short walk from the top of a cliff... More
