    Excellent weekend over the cliffs

    April 17, 2013

    This little place is fabulous. The entire compound is right up to the cliffs and the views are spectacular from every room from what I could judge. The room was nicely appointed, comfortable and had a fireplace (gas) for heating which was great for ambiance. The staff was very helpful and the new manager, Ace, couldn't have been a more enjoyable person. The location is perfect as Elk is a quiet little town, but is only 25 minutes from Mendocino proper and just 30 minutes from Anderson Valley, the hidden Pinot jewel of California wine country. Anderson is what Napa must have been 50 years ago before the mega-wineries and tour buses ruined it. The restaurant was only open for breakfast, otherwise I would have been able to give higher/different marks for dinning. We'll definitely go back!

    Very nice

    April 02, 2013

    We stayed one night and the service was great they had a bottle of champagne for us to while we enjoyed the Jacuzzi. The view of the ocean is fantastic and they have allot of pretty flowers planted around the buildings. I would go there again.

    Nice and Quaint but a Bit Dilapidated

    March 22, 2013

    Great views from our balcony, nice hot tub in the room which we used and enjoyed. We also liked the 2 bottles of wine, one was sparkling. The room needs a bit of updating though. The chairs were worn and so were the curtains. But maybe that was part of the charm.....
