This was such a magical spot! The cottage has all the amenities with great detail throughout. We spent most of our vacation enjoying the fire on the stove, having coffee on the porch and relaxing in the tub. At night, the backyard was lit with thousands of tiny LED lights. It felt we were in fairyland. Janet, the host, was also amazing and thoughtful! I loved every second of our stay!

This was an amazing place to stay! Perfect for my family and I we were close to Mendocino Village and a couple different beaches! Being able to sit on the patio and just watch my daughter wander around the “jungle” was amazing to watch along with the fairy lights. We were would definitely rent again!

Nature’s hug

This is the perfect place to stay just outside the town of Mendocino if you’re looking for a serene escape under the redwoods and stars. Several hummingbird & butterfly friends swoop down to say hello as you rest in the hot tub or sip a beverage on the porch. The Echo cottage was a great way to relax after bopping around towns, rivers & beaches.

This is a lovely property,close to Mendocino but enough away from town to be really quiet. The owner was wonderful to work with. She was helpful without being at all intrusive. We hope to stay there again soon.

Beautiful environment and the cottage is up to date and well appointed. We did not use the hot tub. Very close to Mendocino, which is perfect. Bed extremely comfortable. Recommend it highly to Mendocino visitors.
