My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Nicholson House. Despite the absence of an in-person reception desk, there was absolutely no issue with check-in or check-outit was super easy. ||Our room was a Deluxe Queen (#5) and it was very nicely appointed. When we checked in there were Madelines as well as a decanter with bourbon, freshly ground coffee with a French press, an electric kettle and an assortment of teas. There was a carafe with filtered water as well as milk in the fridge. No plastic cups or glasses here; instead, nice drinking glasses and coffee cups. ||Two comfortable robes as well as very nice bath amenities were waiting for us in a beautiful tiled bathroom. And what a nice perk to have heated floors in the bathroom!||The bed was very comfortable with nice linens and there were nice plush towels in the bathroom. No scratchy sheets or skimpy towels here!||There were coupons for breakfast which you could get at The Waiting Room, a few doors down. The selections for breakfast as well as coffee drinks were varied and very nice. We had breakfast there two days and my husband went there one afternoon to enjoy a glass of wine. He said it was very nice for a little afternoon break. ||I’d say staying at the Nicholson House is like staying with a good friend who welcomes you to her home and has a beautiful guest room ready for you. ||We were fortunate to meet Mollie who showed us a Luxury Queen room as well as a Superior King suite. Both were roomier than our Deluxe Queen room and the Superior King was especially nice. When we next visit Mendocino, we will reserve a Luxury Queen room for a little extra space. ||I would not hesitate to return to the Nicholson Houseit’s a lovely place, very comfortable with plenty of special touches to welcome you. ||Another perk is that you can walk to the shops and restaurants in...
Read moreI don't have enough good things to say about Nicholson House! We booked a last minute trip to Mendocino with our two dogs for the long weekend. Nicholson House is beautiful, the grounds are breathtaking and so thoughtfully designed. The room itself was a dream - I am so picky about hotel rooms and have to say this might be the nicest room I have ever stayed in. The room design was stunning, with amazing vintage pieces, stunning decor, and the most comfortable sheets I have ever slept on. We stayed in room #9, and we also appreciated that while there were other guests on the property, it felt very private and secluded, and was very peaceful and quiet. I really have to give a shout out to the team that runs the inn for how thoughtful the additions to the room were - they knew we had two dogs staying with us so they provided us with a large blanket and multiple towels and bowls to use for our dogs. They also provided extremely comfortable robes and slippers for the room, it felt like I was staying at a spa! To welcome you, they had a gorgeous tea and coffee station, chilled water, and some bourbon which was incredibly tasty. All of this, plus an incredibly heated floor bathroom with the hottest steam shower - it felt so good after rainy walks on the coast. Nicholson House also provides a voucher for a free morning beverage and pastry at The Waiting Room, which is right next door. Don't let the fact that it is free fool you - the coffee was fantastic, and the pastries were out of this world. I think the lemon cheddar scone took me to another planet. I will definitely be back to stay here, I can't recommend it enough. It was such a great visit, and it was one of the rare places where you and your pets will truly...
Read moreWe just finished a 2night stay at The Nicholson House. Every year we take a couple of days away from our work to focus on our business. We always aim to stay at places that are inspiring and will help us get in our creative flow. We also look for places that have good space for us to work while also having easily accessible places to eat, walk, and have some leisure time. Nicholson House checked all those boxes. We stayed in one of their lovely suites - the West Suite. It gave us the extra room we needed to work and also felt very cozy and relaxing. Every detail in the rooms is so well curated and thought out - beautiful and inspiring- check! From the complimentary bourbon and madelines to the heated floors, and all the antique furniture, and record player - no detail has been missed. It is also perfectly located in walking distance to the Mendocino Headlands (a must when you are in town), and Big River Beach. ..and you can't get any closer to the best restaurant in town - Cafe Beaujolais. This is a Beaujolais property and just like the rest of their businesses- it is top notch, high quality and service. While we never saw any of the staff on property, there was no shortage of communication. It was effortless and the response time on any questions was immediate. While we were working most of the time, it is definitely a wonderful place to come and NOT work. So much to do and see in the area and never get in your car. I highly recommend The Nicholson House and hope to...
