LOVED the wood stove! We are from Alaska and appreciate a REAL fire!! But the real draw here is the VIEW, because you are literally on the edge of the bluffs!! WOW!! We had so many plans, but instead decided to stay on our deck and enjoy the incredible view. Solitude and tranquility were what we needed and we got... More

Quaint little B&B on the north coast of California, about a 4-5 hour drive north of San Francisco. Probably longer if you're taking the scenic route up CA-1 and stopping a few times to take in the views. We stayed in the ocean view cottage, which was cozy and adequately furnished for a weekend getaway. The deck yields spectacular views... More

My wife and I stayed at this place for one night in October...and it was one night too many. Our first mistake....when we walked into the room, the entire room smelled like a wood stove. Obviously, the owner never airs the room out after use. We should have left then, but we were too tired from the long drive that... More

My boyfriend and I have stayed here a few times and love it. We have stayed in a cottage without the ocean view and also one with the Ocean view (I don't remember the name of it, but it's the one on the far right hand side). We love it. The cottages and nice and maintained. The bedding is nice... More

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 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
