We had a great time at Fensalden. Its a perfect quiet and relaxing weekend getaway from a big city. Chris was an absolutely wonderful host. They even sent us an email upon making a reservation to welcome us and ask us about food allergies any special requests ir we need need help with reservations for activities, reataurant, etc. It was so thoughful. Made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. The room has a breath taking view of the ocean and a beautiful balcony. Bed and pillows are super comfy! And most if all the breakfast was nothing less than perfect!!! We were served fresh fruits with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, coffee, juice, tea, lemon poppy seed muffin (amazing!) and the high light was this auper special french toast that took 12 hours of preparation and the recipe was actually originally made fir the queen. It was just simply decadent and so delicious! Chris and the whole Fensalden went above and beyond and the way the take care if their guests are superb! :)

Great place to relax and enjoy the Mendocino winery and coast. Close to the bigger towns and lots to choose from. The family that runs the inn is very personable and helpful. Give it a try.

My wife and I have been staying at Fensalden Inn for many years and each time is as great as the last. The hospitality is exceptional, the views spectacular and the morning breakfasts take me back in time to a place where homemade food lovingly prepared was commonplace. Every time we go to Mendocino, our first inquiry is to Chris and Moli to make sure they have space available. We regularly recommend them and the inn to anybody we know heading up the coast. You need look no further if you're wanting for an phenomenal experience in Mendocino. Gabe and Catharine

February 21, 2012
The property is not directly on Hwy 1 but very easy to find and boasts beautiful views of the ocean. Chris is a wonderful, pleasant host. Rooms were clean and bright; charming without being frilly. After the sun set, the area became quiet and dark, and we slept like logs. Breakfast was delicious, coffee abundant. The stay was rejuvenating, and we left feeling refreshed. This was a great place to stay off the beaten path. Excellent experience, excellent place to forget your daily routine.

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!
