SCP Mendocino Inn and Farm

To preface this: we stayed here last year and really enjoyed it. I am hoping that this information will be helpful to some. Anyways, we stayed here last year and this year--and the quality (management?) has definitely gone down since then. We notified the front desk that our shower had been leaking nonstop and they said the shower head had already been marked to be replaced. I wish that they would have warned us about that in advance. It seems pretty wasteful for an eco-conscious hotel, and we had to keep a bucket under it to try to conserve the water. My family also ordered me the celebration add-on and the hotel charged our card instead--and only included a bottle of wine and flowers (no truffles). When we noted that, they left us a few store-bought bars of chocolate. The Terra Farm restaurant was closed the entire weekend due to low staffing so we were not able to try it. A warning: if you stay in Etta's Suite ("Deluxe Ocean View Queen Suite with Sofa Bed") you can hear EVERY car that passes by. I much preferred the "Ocean View King Junior Suite" (Stevenscroft)--better decorated and quieter. The llamas and chickens are fun, and the location is beautiful. But we will probably not stay here again.

We had such a wonderful time at this in. Our room was perfect for ourselves, small dog and two young children. We could see the ocean from our room and the chickens and the llamas and the beautiful garden made it all really beautiful. We had one odd experience with someone that worked there, but other than that, it was a really incredible experience and I would go again for sure.

This is a beautiful place to come stay. It’s a cool farm that has chickens that you can feed and there so full of energy. The llamas here are pretty cool as well. You can go into there pasture and hang out with them sometimes if your lucky they will approach you. There is an awesome trail behind the property that leans down to Van Dam State Park. I went there last year as well with my boyfriend and loved it. We had to come back. It’s close to the town of Mendocino. The grounds are super pretty. There are chairs you can sit down in and overlook the llama area and the lush greenery around as well. The chickens get some excited when you bring them some feed. There just the cutest. Also they have fresh egg dishes each morning and it’s always something different. My favorite egg dishes this trip was the breakfast burrito and the baked egg that had mushrooms and tomatoes in it. Such an amazing place. Would always come back.

This place was absolutely wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful when we checked in. Our room was clean ... and we loved the fireplace. The hotel is conveniently located about two miles south of Mendocino ... which is absolutely charming in itself. Also, an unexpected surprise, our room was situated at the start of two trailheads that both led to the coast. We did both (less than 10-minute walks) and the sites were spectacular beyond words! Do yourself a favor and experience this place for yourself!

Such a cute place to stay! The room was extremely clean and I loved having the fireplace with premade wood and newspaper bundles ready to use. The llamas were adorable and so fun that you can feed the chickens. Wine hour was a nice addition with yummy snacks as well right before my massage I booked there (which was also great)! There was also yummy, fresh breakfast delivered to your door in the morning. Highly recommend!

We love this place! First Sequoia, one of the managers, went above and beyond to help us with a difficult arrangement. We thank her for her friendliness and professionalism. We normally stay in Rachel’s cottage. Omg! There are sky lights over the bed to look up at the trees. There is a small back patio space that leads to beautiful trails! The breakfast is a real nice touch in the morning and I hear they offer wine tasting. You will love the llamas and they give you chicken feed for the chicks to eat. All in all, this is a romantic, relaxing getaway that you will enjoy! Ask for Sequoia when you book!

I can’t say enough good things about this magical place! My mom and I stayed at the Mendocino Inn and Farm in the lodge King for two nights. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Homemade delicious breakfast brought to your door every morning. It is surrounded by nature and the location is perfect, sitting just outside the small town. The staff was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed something. We absolutely loved having a real burning wood fireplace in our room. The fresh baked cookies at checkin and wine hour are the sweetest touch. We had such an amazing stay here and we will definitely be back. A must stay!!!

My fiance and I had a wonderful time here. We loved the grounds, we especially enjoyed feeding the chickens and seeing the llamas. Wine hour was a fun plus, with a few snacks. Staff was super nice, there was an issue with the room and they were extremely accommodating and friendly about it without making us feel uncomfortable. We look forward to returning!

Sad to report our disappointment at our visit in April -- sad because we honeymooned here in 1983 and have returned at least once every year since. Breakfasts were always a highlight when this was Glendeven, but not so on our recent visit. The egg dishes were rubbery and seemed to have been previously prepared and reheated, and the pastries had a mealy texture. We were also disappointed that the new owners did not provide any in-room housekeeping services for the duration of our stay. While it makes sense to cut back on some of the traditional services (for example, daily sheet changes), the total absence seems insupportable (particularly at these premium prices). But perhaps most distressing was the lack of any response at all to the review we provided to the inn immediately after our stay (a review that the inn solicited and in which we voiced the same concerns discussed above). We were left with the feeling that no one cares about the guests' experience, and we'll stay elsewhere the next time we visit Mendocino.

Absolutely beautiful destination! All of the flowers were in bloom, and it felt simply magical. There are several trails right off the property that lead to cliff side overlooks, the beach, and the woods. The staff was super friendly, and having farm fresh breakfast delivered right to my door was so nice. Highly recommend visiting this property - you will be glad that you did!Nearby activities: There are several state parks within a ten minute drive from the property, so there is tons to explore!

My wife and I stayed 3 nights at The Lodge for our babymoon. Our room was very comfy as we enjoyed breakfast one morning in the Farmhouse and remaining days brought to our room. There was a variety of chickens to feed and a few llamas to hangout with which was cool. This is great home base if you plan on eating in Mendocino or Fort Bragg (20 minutes away). If you're a late sleeper like me, you can sometimes hear the neighbor next to you snore through the walls unfortunately and the hot tub was closed off. The staff is super friendly and will accommodate to your needs. Overall very pleased with our stay and would recommend it to anyone who needs a place to slow down, reset, cool off from Sacramento summer heat, drink some wine, and enjoy being with your significant other.

First stay there...very nice room. Very cozy with comfortable sitting area. Private balcony with lovely ocean view. Cons, couldn't get a good fire going, the wood only charred. Breakfasts were not appetizing...vegetarian fare, although the muffins were yummy. No mini fridge, coffee setup or microwave in room...all downstairs in a very small room, very inconvenient. The atmosphere was calm & peaceful, not your typical B&B.

We stayed here on New Year’s Eve at farmhouse’s attic room with amazing ocean view and can also see Llamas from our window.Staff was very friendly and also feeding chicken and petting llamas was fun. The place is very close to couple of short trails and the little river beach which is another plus.The only thing I missed was that their hot-tub was under maintenance when we visited. Also bed and pillows were a little on stiffer side, but not bad.

I give Glendeven 5 stars, but I give our room we had 3 stars. So I'm averaging to a 4 star review.The room we had was the Garden Room, which was lovely. But unfortunately it seems to be located under the staff kitchen where they make the breakfasts. So starting at around 6, 6:30 AM there are people walking around above the room constantly. And since it's an old building, it's not exactly quiet. I feel like this room should've been available with a discount, since barely getting any sleep was not worth the price we paid.Other than that the place was lovely! That was really the only downside, so I assume if we had stayed in any other room it would've been great! The staff was amazing and friendly and accommodating. The baked goods were amazing in the morning. The breakfasts are hit or miss, since they are set breakfasts and you aren't ordering to your tastes, so it's a bit of a gamble. I feel like thats just the nature of b&bs in general, and nothing against this place in particular. The quality of the breakfasts are very nice, and they're happy to make your breakfast with dietary preferences in mind.The classic style rooms are so cute and cozy. The beds are comfortable and the robes are cozy too. You get a complimentary bottle of wine and cookies in the evening, which was a nice treat! They even let you know where all the best places to eat nearby are, and let you know about the places that need reservations in advance. The highlight for me was feeding the chickens!All in all, it's a nice place to go! I'd definitely consider another trip there in the future!

We stayed in the carriage house & absolutely loved it! The space was cozy - and the bed was so comfortable! Towels and linens were very clean!!!! The TV isn't huge - but I wouldn't say you would stay here to care about watching it much! There's SO much to do on the property as well as locally. We loved the chickens you could feed and the llamas! Unfortunately no handling right now of the llamas but they said they are getting socialized ones soon! The break was absolutely amazing and fresh!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Glendeven and everyone we encountered there. The property is beautiful and there are walking trails that lead to the beach and the cliffs. We were close to Mendocino (3 minutes by car) but peacefully removed.The accommodations were comfortable and thoughtful. The sheets were outrageously soft! There were guestbooks in our room going back 30 years of happy people, and we added our own delighted note. The breakfasts were perfectly delicious and delivered promptly at 9 am every morning - it's vacation, sleep in a little.The llamas were adorably aloof, the chickens eager and happy.There are not enough nice things to say about Glendeven, John, and the staff. I cannot wait to return.

A great place to escape the city and just unwind by the ocean. Etta’s suite is charming and comes with a fantastic, hidden balcony that overlooks the llamas and ocean. The nearby hikes, especially the short hike to a hidden Van Damme beach, are absolute musts. The breakfasts are simply delightful but I wish they were full service or offered dinner services, at least. That is legitimately the only downside and it’s not even that bad because there are plenty of solid eats to be experienced in the nearby Inns, Mendocino, or Fort Bragg. Simply put: there are a number of options of Inns in the area but there is a charm to the Glendeven that made it a really exceptional, unique experience. Thank you to the wonderful staff!

There are so many things to like about Glendeven: from the personal, reserved parking spot upon arrival; to the hand-written greeting; the wine and cookie treats; the chicken-feeding experience with thoughtfully-planned, recyclable bags; the cozy throws and robes; the sparkling-clean rooms; the lovely views; the friendly staffn the wonderfuln hot breakfast delivered to your door; the plentiful wood for a fire; a lavender sachet from the gardens on checkout. The stars are magnificent, the atmosphere is quiet and tranquil, the beach is a quick walk away. "Highly recommend" is damning the experience with faint praise.While there are many places to stay in the area, this one is special.

We stayed at the converted Farmhouse at the Glendeven, and it was fantastically homely and cozy. There was an actual wood-burning fireplace in our room, which we made great use of. The breakfast is brought to your door each morning and absolutely mouthwatering- fresh eggs from the chickens on the land, fresh fruits, fresh hot chocolate, and more. Our room faces the llama enclosure, who were adorable to watch. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing sheets! Beautiful views and trails nearby. Highly highly recommended.

Love, love, love Glendeven Inn!!! The beauty of the gardens, animals, trees all around the property is so proufound and special to be a part of for a visit. We go for our anniversary get aways and just rest in the quiet and luxury of the comfortable rooms. There's also a ☆Breakfast Fairy☆ who shows up magically every morning with a big basket of deliciousness carefully prepared and.put together with the freshest of ingredients, just for you! Many, many thanks and blessings to the kind, friendly, hard working owners and staff at Glendeven. I highly recommend everyone to choose them for your next getaway to the coast!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights before Thanksgiving. Even traveling has become hard after this flu pandemic, we feel very safe in this place because the employees all wore masks and even noticed guests to do that. The atmosphere is great to have a walk and feed chicken or see lama in their garden. The breakfast was wonderful, we enjoyed their bread and egg. There are a lot of small trails and beautiful beaches nearby, and don't forget to try some good restaurants in Mendocino, you will like them.
