Was a bit noisy. Being In the middle of 2 other rooms, we could clearly hear conversations on both sides. Made it hard to sleep. We left a day early.

Captains Watch

Had a lovely time in the Captains watch. The room has a beautiful view of the ocean as well as a balcony that over looks the doggy play area which was perfect for my pup.

Spring trip to Mendocino

A quaint property off PCH and very close to downtown Mendocino CA. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip!
Vivek, 2-night trip

Great little cottage, THE VIEW 😍

This was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay here again. When we walked in it smelled so clean, the beds were comfortable, the communication was great, they left extra garbage bags and bathroom supplies and even a bed, towel and bowls for our dog. The balcony was amazing!! The master bedroom upstairs was also amazing, bright, roomy, and charming. I gave it a 4/5 because there were so many spiders in all the windows and ants. We found spray under the sink and were able to spray the perimeter and wipe/kill all the spiders and ants with Clorox wipes we brought, but I was a little surprised the cleaning staff didn’t clean window sills and corners. Again, this place is amazing…dated like most places in Mendocino but overall well taken care of, clean and the communication, helpfulness of staff and overall experience was great.

Great property of cottages. We got the water tower cottage with the hot tub and spent a grand night at the Inn. We even watched the last bits of the sunset on top of the water tower. Would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time staying at Schoolhouse Creek. Perfect for traveling with dogs. Our cottage was clean and very comfortable. Grounds are beautiful. Staff is friendly, helpful and eager to make your stay excellent.

This Inn is a “best kept secret” for those who haven’t yet stayed there. The innkeepers go out of their way to make the entire place dog friendly, even leaving personalized notes for our little puppy. Clean and comfortable rooms and our Captains Watch room had a view of the ocean and we could hear the waves throughout the night. Wonderful place!

Amazing

We had the Captain’s Watch Deluxe Room. It had the perfect view out to the ocean morning and night. The area was quiet and serene. This is our first time here and we will definitely be back!

View was good. Bed was comfortable. Despite loads of instructions, they were not completely clear.
Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is fine and the ocean view was beautiful. We caught a full moon over the Pacific. But the place had an over abundance of ants despite our effort to keep it clean. It was not cleaned well before we arrived. Staff was friendly and accommodating, but outside of being a place to sleep, nothing much else there.
Pasquale, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is our second time at the School House Inn staying in the Pomo Cottage. We love everything about it ( privacy, hot tub, kitchen, dog friendly) except the bed. I don’t recall this bed last year so i think it’s pretty new. It is Rock hard, my husband compared it to worse than his military cot, that’s how terrible it is . However, some people like hard beds, we’ll be back but definitely will be bring a mattress topper :).
Chelsea, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Nope - Never again

Booked last minute & definitely should’ve looked around further. Property is in dire need of some TLC. Bathrooms completely outdated & in much need of an upgrade. Cracked sink, gross tile & towels as thin as a dish towel & not even big enough for a child. Sitting chairs in room has cheap covers. Sheets were stained. Ugh. Just gross. Positive point…. Close proximity to Mendocino & the cute pup on the property.
