I needed space and quiet to recover from the complexities of life. This place provided it and so much more. I just loved every moment.
Location
Nice Hot tub and comfortable bed.
We definitely enjoyed our stay here. This cottage is a comfortable space for two in a beautiful setting. We think future guests should be aware that when the main house next door is rented out, this cottage has little to no privacy. The shared deck/hot tub is immediately outside this cottage's bedroom, and the parking area for the main lodge is right outside the bedroom on the other side of the building. So when our neighbors arrived (at 2am), their unpacking was loud and we realized we suddenly need to close all the window shades. Same thing the next night while they were having a hot tub party. The neighbors were perfectly nice and reasonable in their use of the shared space, but it did really limits our privacy. It probably wouldn't have mattered if the cottage's bedroom had been on the upper level, but as it is, anyone using the deck could look directly into the bedroom!
This is a very convenient home when you’re traveling with a dog and want to take advantage of all the town of Mendocino has to offer.
The house is walking distance to Big River and would be walking distance to Mendocino Village if only there were sidewalks that allowed it! It’s very private and secluded - good for a couple. Not a lot of kitchen amenities so bring your own pots and pans if you plan to cook.
