This is a really sweet and comfortable home in a gorgeous location. We enjoyed the bright living room for reading and playing games, soaked in the hot tub every day, and appreciated being close to the town of Mendocino. It was perfect for our weekend getaway.

Place was great. Loved the area. Privacy for the front room however should be addressed. Even with the stained glass there is clear view into the front hall where the bedroom is.

The cottage was an absolute gem. The bed was hard to leave each morning, absolutely comfortable. The hot tub was the perfect temperature the entire weekend. The beach was a minutes drive, as well as the town of Mendocino. We were able to drink our tea in a tiny building overlooking Big River. We will definitely be back:)
