Surrounding Area
Center, three blocks from the inn. The Center and its Showcase gallery on Main Street display the
works of the students and graduates of its programs. Offering a wide variety of classes, workshops,
festivals, fairs and entertainment to the public, the Center is the cultural hub of the North Coast.
Mendocino hosts numerous private galleries as well, which offer a wide selection of local artists and
media, including paintings, wood carvings and furniture, wire sculpture, ceramics and weaving, to
mention but a few. The performing arts also play an important role in the life of the Mendocino community year-round. The Mendocino Theater Company, Gloriana Opera Company, Mendocino Dance Series, Warehouse Repertory Theater and The Mendocino Music Festival are a few of the groups providing
a wealth of entertainment and cultural activity. There are many fine restaurants in Mendocino which offer creative and gourmet meals. Food for every taste is offered in a variety of interesting and intimate settings, from French to California cuisine. A person could spend a full week in Mendocino and eat at a different restaurant every night, each with a wonderful selection on the menu. The Joshua Grindle Inn has a book complete with menus from all the best restaurants in the area, and our innkeepers are delighted to make lunch or dinner recommendations and reservations. Mendocino is not only a special place because of its fine galleries and restaurants, but is also known for the jewel-like quality of the scenery and its "small town" culture. The village is set on the edge of a rugged coastline overlooking a wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean. To the west, the view is of the headlands and ocean, and to the east is dense redwood forest. Mendocino has been called a "magical. . . gentle place" (San Diego Union-Tribune, June 8, 1992). The small-town atmosphere is both relaxing and reassuring. People on the street are happy to recommend a favorite restaurant, to tell you about a great place to shop, or even, where to watch the seals. It is not surprising that the Mendocino area has such a romantic pull on the imagination. Many people come here to honeymoon or to retreat from city pressures. The pace is easy without distractions of modern life, and many find time to enjoy the peace and quiet and the salty tang of the sea air. The Joshua Grindle Inn is a place to curl up with a good book by a glowing fire or simply walk down a quiet path. The grandeur of the scenery revitalizes the spirit, giving one the chance to relax and enjoy life in a "New England" setting that time forgot.

"Glenna gave us the best massage we've ever had in Mendocino. The luxury of having her come to our room and work on us with her healing hands was even more luxurious due to the fact that we could just curl up in our room afterwards without having to drive anywhere.
It was heaven!"
- Jim & Diana Ward, Los Altos
"you can't go wrong with a massage from Glenna - well worth it!"
- K & P, San Francisco
"The in-room massage by Glenna was the perfect way to begin my vacation. She has amazing hands and found all of my trouble spots. It was the best massage I've ever had! Consider her massage not a luxury, but a necessity - don't miss it!"
