Property description
Experience the only AAA Four Diamond B&B in Mendocino Village. Situated on a 2-acre knoll overlooking the historic Mendocino village, our lovely home was built in 1879 by Joshua Grindle, the town banker.
Our beautifully landscaped gardens offer many places to sit and view the ocean while enjoying a picnic lunch. Our rooms all have private baths, and are located in the Main House, the Cypress Cottage, and the Water Tower. The Main House is a stately 2-story Victorian with a wraparound veranda; our saltbox Cypress cottage boasts elegant cathedral ceilings and the Water Tower is a 3-story replica with a widows-walk around the top. The rooms are furnished with Early American
and Shaker antiques and have well-lighted, comfortably arranged sitting areas. Some have ocean views and several have fireplaces and deep
soaking bathtubs. A full gourmet breakfast is served in the dining room around an 1830s pine harvest table. Afternoon refreshments are
served in our parlor where a fireplace, an antique pump organ and a selection of games await you. Once you have arrived, forget your car--
a short walk will take you to shops, galleries, superb dining, and the rugged ocean headlands. Unwind, relax and enjoy the splendor of the
magnificent North Coast at the Joshua Grindle Inn.

Additional information
After arriving at the Joshua Grindle Inn, guests find that Mendocino is surrounded by beautiful, historic and exciting destinations, each encompassing an array of activities.
The beauty of the North Coast is easily admired in the four State Parks which are within a half hour drive of the Inn. These parks offer walking trails through redwood laced fern canyons, across creeks, along pristine beaches and even to a waterfall. To the East are beautiful redwood groves, engulfed with those magnificent giants. Another haven for natural beauty is the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens just seven miles north, where trails wind through perennial gardens, into the natural gardens created under the cover of a pine forest, and ultimately to the ocean.
The North Coast is also rich in history. In addition to the village of Mendocino, there are several historic sites in Fort Bragg just fifteen minutes to the North. Fort Bragg was the site of a U.S. Army Fort which was established circa 1852-54. It is no longer an army fort, but the original fort building still stands on Franklin Street between Laurel and Pine Streets. The town also hosts the Skunk Train Railroad which has run an historic steam engine since 1885 through the redwoods offering passenger rides daily.
There is truly a myriad of things to do in the Mendocino area. To name but a few of the exciting activities and excursions, there is: canoeing, bicycling and horseback riding; horse-drawn carriage rides through Mendocino, golf, tennis, scuba diving and chartered whale watching boats. This should satisfy the sports person in all of us. For those who prefer to just relax and take in the ocean views, there are several stretches of beach and headlands to wander about, have a picnic, or view the whales (seasonal) and harbor seals.
One will not be left without a list of splendid destinations and activities during their visit. As a favorite destination for many, Joshua Grindle Inn and the Mendocino Coast offers the perfect getaway.
