i am taking my husband to mendocino for a romantic getaway. need a good b&b reco. please recommend. thanks, irma

Do you mean the TOWN of Mendocino or just somewhere in Mendocino County?
I can only recommend the Harbor House Inn in Elk, Mendocino County which is about 20 minutes drive south of the town.
Here's a website to read a bit:

Use www.google.com to find the actual website of Harbor House. We rented an ocean view cabin (not a room inside the main house); had a tiny deck with absolutely gorgeous view. Seems to me our rather pricey cabin included both dinner and breakfast -- both were excellent.

i mean mendocino county. thx for the reco.

Irma, you're quite welcome, and let me clarify my previous post. When I said "I can only recommend.." I meant that it's the only B&B we've stayed at in that area. I certainly did NOT mean to imply any or all the others were not worth a stay.
Remember that wonderful old movie "Same Time Next Year" - with Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn? It's been many years ago now, but my aunt and uncle stayed at the B&B where it was filmed and thought it was an absolutely wonderful place.
Here's its website:

Well, right outside the town of Mendocino is the Stanford Inn. It's a great place, lovely decorated. They have a great, albeit, vegaterian restaurant. The owners are very pleasant and make your visit splendid. It's really a little larger than a B&B, though. It's more like a small hotel, but I really liked it. Great setting, with a wonderful view of the ocean. Very, very romantic. Most of the rooms have fireplaces and most have nice decks.

Agate Cove is a nice one in Mendocino.

The Albion River Inn is outstanding. Stayed there 3 times and can't wait to go back. Not a B&B exactly, about 20 rooms all with ocean views (I think - make sure). Real fireplaces, jacuzzi tubs, the whole bit. Includes wonderful breakfasts in their restaurant (if you don't stay there you might want to go for dinner - excellent restaurant that shares the same great views - get ther before dark). About 4 miles south of Mendocino on rt 1, can't miss it.

Try the Elk Cove Inn, its in the small town of Elk, about 20 minutes south of Mendocino. Absolutely perfect. Check out their website. www.elkcoveinn.com
