The cottage was clean, quaint, and warm. Compact size allows for cozy accommodations for a small family of four. The loft is certainly kid friendly and the main floor bed is spacious and comfortable. Fridge was smaller than expected though as adequate as one for an RV.

It was a nice little cabin. Perfect for two and a dog. Very nice quiet place to stay.

It was a cozy and sweet place. It’s stay there again in a heartbeat.

I have been coming to Mendocino almost annually over the last 30+ years. This was my first time staying at this property and will say it will be one of the more memorable stays. The cabin was quaint and charming. Small, but absolutely perfect for two. Nestled in the redwoods on a quiet street. Deer, racoons, foxes, chipmunks and squirrels visited the property often. The property was clean, organized and accommodating. The hot tub was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed sitting in the hottub in the evening watching the mist drift through the trees overhead. It was so quiet and still! The interior of the cabin could use a few furniture updates. The kitchen amenities were eclectic, but we found everything we needed. We had very minor issues and were able to address them with one of the very friendly property managers. The location was very convenient, only three minutes from the Mendocino Village. Overall I would say this is definitely a place to consider if you are looking in Mendocino.

Its not a 2 bedroom. There is one bed and then a futon mattress in the loft above as others have mentioned so I am unsure why is says 2 bedroom in the description. Its a studio . Maybe that is a setting with in the description choices that is beyond the property owners control? So can it sleep 4? Maybe. Not 4 adults. And honestly the loft railing didn't feel super safe if you had some rambunctious kids. This is a cute little spot in a nice neighborhood. If you are just looking for a place to sleep that feels safe for you and the pups its a great spot Yard is secure and area is clean. Property manager was a INN in town and they were fast and easy to deal with if we had any issues. Some of the reviews mentioned the TV but is must have gotten upgraded because its fine and we did not use the coffee pot but it looked new so I am sure that has been fixed also. But as some of the other reviewers have stated it could use some work for the price you are paying. The coffee table was pretty rickety. Felt unsafe to use it. The shower experience was tough for 2 6 ft humans. Its very small and felt a bit precarious getting in and out. The lack of towels for the 3 days with out a way to wash and try them was tough but we ended up putting them over a chair in front of the heater to help dry them in the winter months. Worked pretty good. Now for us the bed was terrible. As some reviewers have stated they loved it. We felt it was way to firm. We almost left a day early just so we could get a good night sleep. But again this is sounds like a personal preference. I was so happy to get home and get a good night sleep I almost cried. I think if the property owners did a few things to upgrade the spot and create a vacation experience they would get a lot of return renters. It has amazing bones, quiet location, and has a ton of potential. The property manager was very nice and accommodating. The bottle of wine and a nice birthday note along with a cute basket for Dog needs was a nice touch and was very thoughtful. Overall we had a great time in Mendocino. There was a lot to do that was dog friendly and I look forward to exploring the area more.

Overall ok, some things could be upgraded, and added like a toaster, silverware very very old. Tv a problem, rickety ladder to loft, best for kids to sleep in the loft.

The pros: -lovely handcrafted redwood cabin -clean and functional hot hub -enclosed private deck area -clean gas grill The cons: -this is a studio, NOT a one bedroom as it was advertised. The bed is in living area, no door. So once our children went to sleep in the loft, we had to turn off all the lights, there was no separate space to be. -The fireplace heater which is hooked up to the thermostat and the only heat source, turns on and off throughout the night and is both noisy and illuminates the entire space pretty brightly. -No warning about how hot the fireplace glass gets- and it is right in the breezeway, my daughter accidentally touched it and burnt her hand leaving blisters on all fingers. :( -lastly, felt that the kitchen could be better equipped, this is the first rental I’ve stayed at that doesn’t supply aluminum foil/plastic wrap/Tupperware etc… Overall this place was very cute but we felt misled by the ‘one bedroom’ description and had we known it was a studio we would have rented somewhere that worked better for our family.

It was just right for our needs.
