“Quiet peaceful getaway at Mendocino Farmhouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed two days at the Mendocino Farmhouse and had a wonderful time. We stayed in John's room which is quite spacious and has a lovely fireplace. The king bed was very comfortable and we slept great. The farmhouse is in a beautiful setting in the middle of the forest with a pond and grassy area where we saw deer grazing. Margie, our hostess, was very nice and the breakfasts she prepared for us were delicious. Each morning we ate our breakfast in her small sunroom which overlooks the front of the property. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful bed and breakfast without TV (we played games and read) in a really beautiful setting then I know your will like this place. The B & B is just a few minutes drive to the lovely and quaint town of Mendocino which has not only a gorgeous coastline, but museums and galleries and beautiful old homes, and where we found out that "Murder She Wrote" and many other movies were filmed.

“Enjoyable Weekend, Excellent Accomodations!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011

person found this review helpful

My girlfriend and I stayed for 2 nights at the Mendocino Farmhouse. We had a lovely experience! The property is tucked away in a quiet woodsy atmosphere, just outside of town. It is peaceful and well kept. The Innkeeper, Margie, was very accommodating and helpful. She suggested a few nice restaurants in the area and an array of activities for us to do during the day. We went on a lovely hike in the Russian River State Park and took a bike ride down by the Cabrillo Lighthouse.

Our room was very cozy and clean! The towels, coffee, tea and fire-log where replaced each day. Breakfast was delicious and served as soon as we stepped into the dining room. The bed was comfortable, and the room was well decorated. Overall we were very impressed and would return again!

Thanks Margie

“Lovely farmhouse, not so nice hostess”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Mendocino Farmhouse bed and breakfast in 2009. The farmhouse is a lovely, historic farmhouse in a beautiful setting. Although it is close to the town of Mendocino, it is located in a secluded, quiet setting. Our room was a large room with a private bath across the hall. We stayed four days and were the only guests during our entire stay. The hostess, Margie Kamp, was initially polite, but she was not very helpful when we asked about suggestions for dinner and activities. In addition, she was not really available when we had questions. We felt as if we were staying in the home alone. The breakfast was merely scrambled eggs and toast--one of the reasons we stay at bed and breakfast inns is for gourmet breakfasts and to meet other people. There was neither here. As our stay progressed, Margie became more and more short with us, until finally we didn't want to ask her anything. At one point our toilet backed up. My husband went downstairs to tell her and she snapped that she was on the phone. His response was "Fine. It's your house." Our last day we had to get an early start and were not even disappointed that we should not be there for breakfast.

kitchencook, Owner at Mendocino Farmhouse, responded to this review
10 December 2010
After much thought and general mulling over the last Trip Advisor review and because it’s been so long I looked at my guest book for December of 2009 when this reviewer stayed to get some insight and I’m afraid it’s been to long for me to comment on this specific complaint. However, I want any reviewer to know that I serve a different and varied breakfast every day. It is very quiet here during the slow time of the year in December. I am always here to serve breakfast and talk to my guests and answer questions and give them dinner recommendations and info about places to go and see.
I would not expect a guest to unplug a toilet. That is my job, and I do.
Over the past 26 years I have had many happy guests who love my place and they return every year.
All of this said, I have only good intentions and try my best.

Sincerely,
Innkeeper at Mendocino Farmhouse

“Woodland Retreat”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

person found this review helpful

You are staying virtually in a private home which the owner, Margie, is rightly very proud of. It is no way a "traditional inn". Nor is the owner a typical innkeeper. She is not effusive or familiar and maybe that has made her seem rather cold towards some guests. We wanted ambience, quiet, cleanliness and comfort. and that is what we got....in plenty!
The area has some excellent gourmet restaurants just a few minutes drive away.
We'll be back!

The husband and I went for a quick overnight trip up to Mendo for our anniversary. We loved this place and will come back again! Nice and quiet, pretty and the staff was very friendly! We were able to book one night instead of the mandatory two which was wonderful!!
