We rented the Rose cabin. It was a comfortable, old-fashioned cabin that met our needs. A small bottle of Chardonnay was provided which was a nice touch. I liked the wood floor in the cabin. A number of windows were oriented to view West towards the ocean. I would stay there again.

This new offering is a gem. So cute, so quiet, and the check in experience was both easily contactless, but also attentive when we arrived. There was a small bottle of wine and two glasses in the room. <3 Headed to Mendocino's GoodLife Cafe for breakfast the next day, do not miss it.

Liked: Staff & service
We stayed here 6 years ago and we loved it. But we did have a dog at the time, and I think that if you have an animal this place is a good stay. But during our stay, I think the prices are a bit steep for how old and not very clean the cottages are. There are not any perks such as breakfast or hot tubs etc. If the beds weren’t as comfortable as they are, this rating would be lower. Our garden cottage reeked of cigarettes and the property asked if we wanted to them freshen up the room but I’ve been around cigarettes in a house and this is in the flooring and furniture. Overall I would probably choose somewhere closer to fort Bragg since you are still 20 mins away from the town.
