No it's not posh, no its not cold and impersonal, or icy and sterile.
Yes, its warm, clean, cozy, romantic, secluded, special, unique and quaint.
We stayed in the Quail Cottage, a private secluded cottage on a small hill behind the twice painted Dennen's Victorian Farmhouse Inn (by Painter Thomas Kincaid).
Homemade hot private and personally nutrition needs/wants based breaksfast served and delivered to our secluded hideway each morning, absolutely scrumptuous!
The bed was Divine and the two decks overlooking redwood trees, and the Pacific Ocean were relaxing and perfect for rainy coastal winter escape respite.
But what truly makes this place shine--it's care takers and owners Jo and Fred.
Jo's friendly spirit is authentic as is her depth of knowledge of the surroundings. Name what you like and she will match you to the right venue--be it a restaurant or in room/cottage massage or even acupuncture!
We stayed here for our honeymoon and we will be back next year on our anniversary. the privacy, the beauty, the sanctuary created here offers us something we look forward to retruning to again and again.
This spot is unique and sacred---I let go of city life easily and felt nurtured and nourished here. We enjoyed romance with ourselves and the divine as nature hugs you here.
Not just another B&B---we highly recommend for writers, those who are in need of R&R and beautiful peaceful surroundings..while on the magical coast of Mendocino....you cant go wrong with a stay here.

We have been staying at Dennen's once or twice a year for over 5 years now. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. We've stayed in 5 different rooms and all were wonderful. The Mendocinc Suite is our favorite for obvious reasons. We love the jetted tub and having not just one but 2 fireplaces. The beds in each room have been "heavenly" soft and comfortable. The decor in each room is quaint and authentic. Jo and Fred have put a lot of time and effort into making sure the furniture fits the time period of the House's heyday. As for the food- I don't know enough superlatives. We have never had a bad (or even mediocre) breakfast. The menu is imaginative and the fruit is the freshest - no matter what time of year we stay. I love having the food brought to our room. I simply wrap myself in the Inn's comfy robe and enjoy my tea and food in front of the fire. Jo and Fred, the innkeepers, are warm, welcoming and go out of their way to help make each of our stays as fun as the previous. They have a wealth of knowledge about local restaurants and activities. I have looked at the websites of other B & B accomodations in the Mendocino/Fort Bragg area and the first thing I noticed was how reasonable Dennen's rates are compared to some others - especially the "in town" places! We look forward to staying at Dennen's for many more years!

We came to Dennens to spend the final four days of our honeymoon. We stayed in the Quail Cabin which is located by itself on the back of the property. The cabin itself was exactly what the pictures looked like. Loved and made great use of the wood burning stove.

Jo and Fred are two people who you meet and you realize you will never forget. We did not feel like guests for four days, we felt like family. They were attentive to our every need but were basically in the back ground the entire stay. Very non intrusive. They were both extremely helpful with anything we needed, dinner suggestions, sight seeing suggestions, etc.

I haven't even gotten to the best part yet. The breakfast. In one word, it is awesome. Something completely different everyday and equally delicious. After making the reservation, Jo called me and asked about our dietary preferences. Trust me, if there is anything you can't or won't eat, you will not have to. Jo even made us hot chocolate on a cold rainy night.

Let me conclude by saying all I was looking for was a quiet low key spot to hike, sight see, and relax. The farmhouse and Mendocino/Ft. Bragg area exceeded our every expectation. Thank you Jo and Fred for being so caring and making the last days of our honeymoon so memorable. We will be back.

We ended up staying five lovely nights. Each morning we looked forward to our gourmet breakfast. The innkeeper (Jo) was attentive to our every need. My wife has food allergies as well as being allergic to feather beds. Jo modified our breakfast to accommodate my wife and completely changed out the feather bedding and re-vacuumed the room for us. If you are staying in the Mendocino area, we highly recommend Dennen's Victorian Inn.
