This is our second trip to Rendezvous Mendocino and we are just as pleased as we were with our first visit. Quiet, peaceful and the best buttermilk biscuits I've ever had in my life. Everything about this place is phenomenal.
We will visit again and again in the future. Best value for your money, bar none.
We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our time here! The breakfast items were delicious, We especially loved sitting on the patio and enjoying the view. The hot pot was a fantastic experience and the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring.
Another highlight was the “star meadow” — being able to enjoy the incredible night sky. Overall, a very special and relaxing stay that we would happily recommend!
Very clean room, the breakfast was amazing. We had the biscuits and gravy, granola with milk and the blueberry scones. The outside are was very relaxing and quiet. We would definitely return!
We had such a wonderful stay here! The property was absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous landscaping and so much to explore. We stayed in the Antique Cabin, which was so cute, comfortable and very clean. We saw tons of hummingbirds while walking around the property, which was such a fun little bonus.
The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They greeted us when we arrived and made us a wonderful breakfast of biscuits and gravy. I would HIGHLY recommend it, the biscuits were definitely top tier!
The area itself was also so peaceful and beautiful. It’s quiet, and every once in a while you can hear sea lions in the distance, which really adds to the whole coastal experience. Overall, we had such a great stay and would absolutely come back again!
Such a gem! My fiance and I were in town for a wedding and booked a room here last minute as our previous accommodations fell through. Within 5 minutes of booking, I was able to get in contact with the amazing owner, Diane, and the check in process was seamless. The room was spacious and cozy. Perfect for a weekend getaway. The delicious complimentary breakfast delivered right to our door was such a lovely touch. We will definitely be staying here again!

I loved everything about the property. The breakfast was out of this world! It was nice and quiet, a very relaxed atmosphere. Excellent wi-fi. We could hear the sea lions and we could also see the ocean. We had a wonderful stay!
The homemade breakfast was the best part of the stay! It was a lovely selection and sooo delicious!
We were in the room closest to the road so we got a lot of road noise in our room.
There was no ocean view, it’s located on the other side of Highway 1 with private property between the hotel and the ocean, so no direct path or access in the area either.
Lovely gardens on property, and a small but cute hot tub at the top of the hill along with a fire pit. Plan ahead as you will need to reserve the hot tub.
I had a fabulous stay here! The hosts were super attentive and helpful, the scones were to die for. The property was beautiful and well kept. I would definitely stay here again!
This has been one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed, and I don’t say that lightly I’ve been all over the world and the amount of hospitality and detail to the accommodations was incredible. I will absolutely be staying here again, and I am already dreaming about the scones.
Terrific homemade biscuits and vegetarian gravy!
Property was really lovely; fragrant garden and pretty pathways throughout. We enjoyed using the hottub for both nights of our stay. I dug the decor in our room and the bedding was super cozy.

We loved staying here! Clean, cozy, and close to great coffee and Thai food. Diane and Damian were very friendly and welcoming. They heated up our room for us on a cold evening. We had to leave early but Diane brought over granola for us the night before so we could enjoy it for breakfast. Lovely hosts!
