We fell in love with the peacefulness of the property but the Innkeepers were what made our visit memorable. Breakfast was not only gourmet but unique with "Dutch Babies" one morning. We also met wonderful guests at evenig wine and cheese.

It was my turn! I had worked on my 'old' house in small town, Iowa for about 3 years, then I decided to move near my daughter in northern California, and we packed all my 'stuff' and we drove. I then unpacked and cleaned for a month- My stay at Fensalden was greatly appreciated. It felt like I was a Queen there!!

Comfortable the minute we walked in. The owners are ideally suited to be running a B&B; friendly, outgoing, and very helpful. The bungalow was a good fit for our needs, the breakfasts were to die for! Dinner recommendations for both nights were perfect! You can walk around the Fensalden Inn property as well as easily down to the ocean. Mendocino Village with its restaurants, art galleries, and unique shops are near!

Didn't know what to expect as we drove up, since this was our first experience with a B&B, but I was pleasantly surprised with both the innkeepers. Bob & Lyn are the most gracious host & hostess. I was very fascinated by the stories and the history as told by both Bob and Lyn. They were also very warm and accommodating, I would like to consider them our friends, they are that nice. Lyn prepares the most deliciuos breakfast treats,. . . I now am spoiled! The hors de voures were great, the food was excelent, and the presentation was superb. The experience I had at their place has set a standard that I will measure other places in the future. Who knows,. . . . I may never try other places, because I consider this place, Fensalden Inn, the best! As one review stated previously, . . . This is truly a . . . "Hidden Gem"!

A very nice little inn about a mile off the coastline and quite accessible to the B&B hub of Mendocino proper. The hosts, Bob and Lyn, are delightful and seem to enjoy their guests. The place is extremely fresh and well kept, not an easy task in this moist, coastal environment, and the rooms are airy and comfortable. A good place for a romantic weekend or a small group get-together.

We were lucky to find this inn off of mainstream Mendocino. My kids had a great time feeding the goats, and we all enjoyed our B&B experience. The innkeeper couple are warm, friendly, and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. The breakfast was outstanding!

The hostess/host were outstanding - warm and friendly, a wealth of information. Shared a lot of their own family experiences plus giving the "history" of the Inn - once a stagecoach stop. Two goats and a about a half dozen ducks, in a fenced yard, plus other "wild" critters showing up from time to time - deer and an abundance of birds which were treated twice a day with seed from the host and a pleasure to watch. Summing up, it was a very memorable and pleasant stay (2 nights).

This is our second stay at Fensalden, this time for our anniversary. We stayed in the Ridge Room, which is a nice size and has a separate entrance. Breakfasts both days were delicious and innovative. Fensalden is not too big and not too little, and we very much enjoyed our conversations with other guests at breakfast time. The hosts are most cordial and helpful. The rooms are well-kept and the grounds are beautiful. The setting is peaceful and secluded, yet a short walk to the ocean, and within a few miles of Mendocino.
