What Our Guests are Saying

  • Ana
    We thoroughly enjoy our stays at Joshua Grindle, consistently choosing the North cabin. We visit Mendocino every March to commemorate our wedding anniversary, and we always opt to stay here due to the excellent location and outstanding customer service. We also love the complimentary breakfast, and their scones are exceptionally good.
  • Marisa
    We’ve loved visiting this Inn! It was our third time here, we’ve stayed in a different room each time. Great breakfast on the patio in the mornings. The owners and staff have always been lovely. Walkable to the coast to take in the ocean views.
  • Brandon
    We've loved coming to the Grindle Inn since 2023. It's always been a relaxing and comfortable retreat away from the city. The owners Ken and Kate are two of the kindest people you'll meet and their cat Gemma is very sweet. Each room has its own character and the water tower has great views. If you're looking to visit Mendocino you can't go wrong staying at the Grindle.
  • Ethan
    This was our third time at the Inn - the owners, Ken and Kate, are the best! Joshua Grindle is such a cute bed and breakfast with comfy historic rooms, a beautiful garden, and a yummy breakfast with fresh fruit and delicious homemade scones. This has become one of our favorite escapes. Mendocino is a serene getaway with beautiful nature and fantastic restaurants. Don't miss out on the excellent hospitality and charm found at this inn!
  • Mike
    Wonderful surprise! A nice piece of history with a nice room in the water tower. Breakfast was great with everything freshly prepared, including the best scones I've ever had. We had our E-bikes with us, and I'm sure they would have been completely safe on the property, but the owner let us park them in his garage. Top notch experience, don't miss it.
