Lovely, quiet cottage in the center of Mendocino, walking distance to great restaurants and the Headlands. The cottage is comfortable and well--equipped, and we enjoyed sitting in the private garden. Mike and Kathleen are lovely hosts. We had a wonderful stay!

The hosts, Mike and Kathleen, were fabulous. And as locals themselves, they had wonderful recommendations for restaurants and things to do around the area. With the cottage attached to their main leaving quarters, you would never know they were there, so there was plenty of privacy. It was easy to walk from the cottage to the shops and restaurants in town. Since it is south of the busier Fort Bragg, it was quiet. So if you are looking for a get-away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the place to be. Being able to unplug was a welcoming experience. We definitely want to come back again!

This is an EXCELLENT property! The hosts are responsive and so pleasant. They made us feel like family! The proximity to everything in Mendocino is so very close, we walked to everything available in the town itself. The ocean is just down the street and some of the most impressive sunsets ever could be enjoyed there. Anything needed, from groceries to cafe's to historic homes were a walk away. If you're into the show "Murder She Wrote" the Blair House where it was filmed is just kitty corner to the property. The apartment is laid out beautifully with a comfortable bedroom and queen size bed, a bath with a shower and a kitchen/sitting area that made for a homey refuge. There is complete access to a beautiful porch and gardens with flowers and visiting hummingbirds each day. There were areas very worth visiting within a ten minute drive and we felt we could have stayed here for much longer and not be bored at all.
