    My husband and I just celebrated our 4th Anniversary. The Inn is a charming place! It was calm and serene. I loved reading a book on our private deck drinking a glass of champagne while watching the blue ocean view. Chris was an amazing host and served a delicious breakfast while we bird watched from their sun room. We will be returning!!

    My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this fabulous Inn. We had planned on staying in Pt. Arena, but finding vacancy on short notice was near impossible. We barely saw the sign for "B&B" on Navarro Ridge Road, and I just had a GREAT feeling about this place. It is nestled seemingly "in the middle of no where" with spectacular views! If you appreciate history, and simplicity, this is the place for you. Even without a reservation, we felt very welcomed by this family owned establishment. My favorite part was finding the note book of past guests in our room, and the beautiful views from the rocking chairs on the balcony. This is a wonderful place for R & R in nature with someone you love in this beautiful haven. I will be returning soon!

    For my husband and my "honeymoon" we were given a two night stay at the Fensalden Inn. Originally being born and raised on the North coast of California, and now living in the valley of California, I was thinking this was going to be like visiting home (and not in a good way). However, everything about the Inn, the owners, and the small surrounding community was surprisingly fun for a newly wed couple in their 20's. We had such a great adventure and enjoyed every moment of our getaway. We loved the rustic yet classy appeal of the Inn, and also thoroughly enjoyed our time chatting with the owner and his son. I would highly recommend a stay to anyone who is looking for a fantastic place to stay! :)

    We just finished staying at Fensalden for the 4th time. It is the perfect place for relaxation. Sitting by the window eating a delicious breakfast with lots of beautiful hummingbirds flitting around outside and the ocean in the background is certainly a great way to start the day! Our room was so comfortable.The hosts make us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back.
