Innkeepers can fill you in on the history of the area, and make dinner reservations at any of the fine dining restaurants nearby.

Guests are treated to a delicious breakfast each morning, which can be enjoyed outside on the room’s terrace overlooking the ocean, or inside with fine china set at your table. The Blanchard House Inn borders the 2,000-acre Van Damme State Park, the beach is an easy walk via the state park path.  The Village of Mendocino is an easy drive three minutes north.  Whales are sighted from November through March, and spotting their spouts from the guest room deck is always a highlight of anyone’s visit.  In-room binoculars are provided for a closer view. Throughout the year, seals, ospreys and pelicans can be sighted along this beautiful stretch of coastline. Enjoy activities such as canoeing, horseback riding, golf, hiking, bird watching and shopping.

The View from Your Room! Something is always blooming in our ever-changing flower gardens.  The fragrance of jasmine, iris and rosemary combined with the mist of the sea breeze, will create a lasting memory of simpler times. The rhododendrons bloom profusely from late March through May, and our extensive flower gardens are filled with many perennials native to the coastal area.

The Blanchard House invites you to experience the sights and sounds of the ocean from your private balcony and room.

Rates & amenties

Blanchard House is situated on a gently sloping hillside bordering Van Damme State Park and Beach. There is an expansive ocean view — a composition of beauty with rock formations and rugged bluffs, which has inspired many artists. The California Gray Whales can be seen just beyond the reefs in the bay during their annual migration.

A spacious guest room awaits you at Blanchard House, with a private entrance and balcony overlooking the ocean. Beyond the hand-crafted redwood entry door, you will find a king-size bed with a comforter, cable TV with DVD and CD player, an overstuffed chair, and other amenities for your comfort.

The private bathroom has an antique claw foot bathtub and a separate tile shower. Brass and oak fixtures add to the feeling of a bygone era with all the comforts of the present day. A window facing north overlooks an open meadow, where grazing deer can often be seen.
The Blanchard House gardens are filled with many varieties of flowers, fragrant herbs and plants native to the area. The bird bath is a center piece of attraction for watching our fine feathered friends. Stroll down the path to the beach, or walk one of the many trails in the park, which include Fern Canyon and the Pygmy Forest. Golf and tennis are within walking distance. There are many fine restaurants nearby, and the Village of Mendocino is just two miles north.

Make Blanchard House your romantic, peaceful and private "home away from home," and let the sound of the ocean at your doorstep complete the perfect picture of rest and relaxation.
