Introduction
We know life is hectic, that everyone and everything demands your time, comes before you. We understand and know you need some pampering, some time just for your needs.
The Whitegate Inn is your answer. We are the most beautiful, peaceful inn in Mendocino. We specialize in old world charm, atmosphere and elegance and are surrounded by gorgeous gardens and views of the rugged Pacific coast. Just tell us what you need for a relaxing restorative stay and we will work hard to fulfill your vision.
"...Mendocino, for a soft landing after an exhilarating trip. The wines are local, the sea tame
and the shops are charming. And at the Whitegate Inn you can ask for the French Rose room, previously
occupied by Julia Roberts, Bill O'Reilly, Mel Gibson and other celebrities." ~ New York Times
The decor is elegant, set off by striking antiques and fresh flowers. Cross the threshold into the elegant drawing room where you can mingle with other guests or take in the ocean view from the deck and gazebo. The guest rooms offer comfort in classic style - generously appointed with TVs and DVDs, fireplaces and boasting irresistibly comfy European feather beds and immaculate private baths. Our gourmet breakfasts and afternoon wine and cheese event are not to be missed. Help yourself to an evening treat of fine chocolates and sherry. If you must keep the umbilical cord somewhat attached, the Whitegate now features complimentary Wireless Internet.
Guests enjoy our elegant light filled parlor with comfortable Victorian furniture and decor. The chandeliers are original with the house and date from 1883. The dining room sits 14 for our two course gourmet breakfasts where new friends are made daily. At the top of the stairs our stained glass artistry never fails to draw compliments. The entire effect is one of understated comfortable elegance and attention to detail.
"Sunny gardens of the Whitegate Inn invite lingering after starting the day with a cozy breakfast." ~ Sunset
Our award winning gardens explode with seasonal flowers and fruit including kiwi and apples. The tri-level garden contains many comfortable sitting areas to soak up the sun and watch the waves. The gazebo is the favorite wedding venue and also a popular sitting area to enjoy our complementary wine and cheese hour with other interesting guests. The flower filled deck contains an ever expanding variety of flowers and greens, many of which find their way as garnishes for the next morning's breakfast.
"Only the crustiest of curmudgeons wouldn't sense the romantic atmosphere filling the Whitegate Inn...the setting is as idyllic as anything a romance novelist could dream up..." ~ Karen Brown's California Charming Inns and Itineraries

Meet the Innkeepers
This beautiful, fully restored Victorian mansion was built in 1883 and is one of the premier inns in Mendocino. It was originally the home of the town Doctor, but has been a successful bed and breakfast for over 20 years. Owners, Richard and Susan Strom are Dallas transplants.
Richard, a Telecommunications Attorney (he now prefers the term recovering attorney), and Susan, a high tech manager who escaped just before the high tech bust and who is the former Director of Dining Service Operations & Catering at UCLA and UC Irvine CA, have built upon and improved on the inn's tradition of luxury, style, elegance and comfort.
They continue to upgrade and add beautiful and romantic touches to what is already the most romantic inn in the Village. And with the addition of their sister inn, Abigails they offer a full range of room offerings and prices.
Richard and Susan and their dogs, Corky and Cooper, both Portuguese Water Dogs, are usually around to personally greet you and share their special Mendocino experiences. Be sure to ask Susan about her new passion, the Mendocino Volunteer Fire Department.
"Perhaps the only way to coax visitors out of their comfy rooms in the morning is the aroma of lavish breakfast, which might include homemade scones or caramel apple French toast." ~ California Best B&Bs
