I surprised my husband with a stay here for his birthday. It was absolutely perfect! From Charles' warm reception, to the wine and chocolates in our room, to his solicitousness to ensure that we had the perfect stay in Mendocino. The afternoon team and cookies were perfect to enjoy in the cold weather, and the room was overall very comfortable... More

Update Jan 1 2012. We have been coming to the Joshua Grindle Inn for eleven years and it never ever disappoints. Charles and Cindy sincerely want all their guests to have a wonderful stay and they work hard to achieve that goal. Once again we headed to Mendocino to celebrate New Years with daunting forecasts of rain. Just as I... More

My family and I recently stayed at Joshua Grindle Inn and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although we stayed at the Grindle Guest House, which is separate from the main complex, it was absolutely fantastic. The house is very well furnished, including a complete kitchen with a great variety of utensils, bowls, pans, etc. for whipping up meals, is immaculate, and is... More

From the friendly, courteous reservation phone call to the final goodbye's, our stay at the Joshua Grindle Inn was just perfect. Charles and Cindy have put together an inn where virtually anything one needs has been provided for or throughout of. The rooms are charming, spotless, cozy and warm. The furnishings and amenities are what one would have at home:... More

We were hoping for good things based on the reviews, and we couldn't be happier after staying here. The room was nice and warm (in every sense) - so nice to relax in that we were almost sad to go out and explore the area. The breakfasts were great and Charles and Cindy are a wonderful couple. Landscaping is nice... More

I can't praise this B&B enough. We just returned from our third stay and found it to be just as peaceful and beautiful as before. The owners ( Cindy and Charles) are so friendly and accommodating. We had to change our reservations due to an illness and it was no problem and their concern about the issue was greatly appreciated.... More

Wonderful inn located conveniently in a genuinely unique town. Cindy could not have been any more professionally attentive to her guests' needs. Felt like being pampered at home. She was forthcoming with restaurant reservations and we took note of her many guests who were repeat visitors. Hopefully, we can get back to the West coast and return to the Joshua... More

The Joshua Grindle Inn in Mendocino is the best place. Any expectations we had were exceeded from the moment we arrived. Unbelievable attention to small details (Sherry for a cool evening, dining reservations, etc). The owners, Cindy and Charles were very helpful during our brief visit to the area. The pumpkin waffles with fresh OJ and a pot of hot... More

We had a lovely stay and the hospitality was welcoming, warm, attentive and knowledgeable about the area. While we loved our room (the fireplace, the tub, accomodations, cleanliness...), after visiting the JGI for the first time we feel like we would enjoy any of the rooms there. Charming & delicious breakfasts served. We will return :) More

Joshua Grindle Inn exceeded our expectations. Room comforts include many small details contributing to our two night stay....from a bottle of wine to an assortment of magazines to the comfy bed...and not to be overlooked, a fireplace. The charming innkeepers - Cindy and Charles - prepare a delicious gourmet breakfast, explaine the nuances of local sites and restaurants, and treat... More
