Little River Inn - Little River, California

What a wonderful stay. Staff and Tenants were all pleasant and loved the property. We loved the Pacific Ocean views and sounds from our quaint room with a cozy fireplace, firewood, and beautiful balcony. Amenities, and services were top notch and the facilities were one of the best maintained that I have reviewed. This little Inn is a must see destination for those looking for an authentic Mendocino vibe. Many close by attractions sure to please as well. At times, it is surreal. As a bonus, this place is Pup friendly. The pups were happy too. I would encourage any trip planner to add this facility to your itinerary on your way up the Cali Coast, even if you cannot stay the night, and just want to stop for a great bite to eat, or shoot some beautiful golf in the refreshing sea breeze with your crew.
It was comfortable, clean, convenient, professional, well maintained. I give this venue 5 strong stars.

Traveled without any reservations, ended up at this nice hotel. Incredible views to Van Damme beach and rocky cliffs, right from the varanda of the room. Rocking chairs in the terrace, I could spend hours just listening to the perennial fight of ocean and cliffs. Super nice staff. FREE level 2 48A Tesla charging was the cherry on top.

We have been coming to this inn since 1998. Views of the ocean are unmatched. Rooms are comfy and clean. But it’s missing some of the vibe from years past. Sue the bartender was great. The bar was packed and noisy on weekends. You have a view sitting at the bar. Always had a chance to chat with other travelers, even meeting folks from home.

Lots of holiday decorations. The dining room was all decked out and used to have an upside down tree hanging in the middle. The menu had many choices and the food great.

This year is different. On Friday, the bartender said it has been a quiet couple of weeks. We used to plan to arrive early to get a seat, but not this time. Three small groups. Mini lights outside, but they are there all the time. Basically, no holiday decorations.

The staff cannot comment on happenings: they state they haven’t been here very long. Didn’t know about the boat parade and had no experience about the Botanical Gardens holiday lights.

I know things change and maybe it is time for us to change too. We are looking elsewhere for next year.
Visiting from Dec.7-10, 2024

Family of 4 plus dog. Visited mid week early Dec 2024.
Comfortable rooms , property - bordering on luxurious - as it is charming, well maintained, all boxes checked and not a single reason to complain. And not loud, opulent luxury. 5 ADA rooms and several pet friendly room / cottage combos. Clean, well thought out amenities and excellent, prompt service. Spa on site - must email ahead of time to plan/ reserve - happy with their service. Gina is very skilled.

The Little River Inn has nice sized rooms, comfy beds and stunning views. The restaurant was delicious. We ate there 3 times and loved every bite. |It’s close to downtown Mendocino-a 10 minute drive and about 40 minutes from Fort Bragg. |I’d definitely stay there again.

Comfortable stay. Dinner was very good. Service was awesome. The view and the color of the sky was amazing especially as the sun sets and after. If ever we are able to visit the Mendocino Coast, we will definitely stay at the Little River Inn again!

We reserved the Llama Cottage and loved it. Very clean and private. The place has a large refrigerator, a little microwave, and a small coffee maker so you can have small meals there. Loved the coziness of the place. The main Inn also delivers meals there, if you wish. We will be back!

This is such a lovely spot. We stayed in a standalone cottage with a hot tub, right at the water. Even with a huge storm it was so cozy and lovely! We love the property, the restaurant, and appreciate there is even room service for the rooms off the main property. When there is a storm they could provide extra towels and maybe bath mats as the floor gets slippery. Just a minor thing. Can’t wait to go back!
