It's an easy walk to restaurants, live theater, shops, the Art Center, markets and the headlands. You can simply park your car and enjoy village life on foot or bike as we do. The Beggs House, our home, and the Beggs-Bishop Cottage are hidden behind a 6 foot hedge which insures privacy in the garden or on your porch. The front of the Cottage faces West and the view outside the Cottage gate is Heider Field, a square block of open space land, part of the Headlands State Park. Bordering the north of the Field on Little Lake Street are the four "mansions" as the locals call them, the Packard House, Maxwell Jarvis House, Albert Brown House, and The Blair House which some of you may recognize as Jessica Fletcher's house on "Murder She Wrote." The Beggs House, like the mansions, is classified in the National Historic Register as a Category 1 Structure which means there have only been minor alterations to the original 1881 structure. As historic structures, there are some features of the grounds and buildings that are not ADA compliant: such as narrow sidewalks, steps, etc. We have an interesting history of the house and some of its residents in the Cottage for your reading enjoyment. THE BEDROOM - Morning sunlight flows into the bedroom through the easterly facing windows. The beautiful antique wardrobe provides ample space for storing your belongings. The window that can be seen in the short hallway outside your bedroom looks out onto your porch and garden. The bed itself is queen size and pleasantly firm with down comforter and Irish wool blanket to keep you cozy and warm. Each side of the bed has a nightstand and reading light. THE KITCHEN - The Cottage includes a complete kitchen: full size stove and oven, apartment size refrigerator, coffee maker, ample cooking utensils, pots and pans, tableware and all the usual things you need in a kitchen. If we've overlooked something you need, let us know and we'll do our best to rustle it up for you. THE SITTING AREA - The sitting area can be considered an extension of the kitchen. Heat is provided by a gas powered heater in the style of a wood stove. Cuddle up in the easy chairs and prop your feet up on a foot stool. You'll be comfortable reading a book, visiting with the cook, or taking a cat nap. Or simply daydream while viewing the garden from the multi-pane window. A radio and CD player are provided if you'd like a little mood music. There is no TV service on the property. There is a DVD player and a selection of DVDs. Also high-speed internet service. If you forgot your vacation reading -- not to worry. The Cottage has a great collection of books including the history of Mendocino and surrounding areas. The Cottage is decorated with art by local folks in various media. Local and European photographs by John Uhlar, drawing by Chuck Hathaway, copper work by Mike Moreland, watercolor by Erin Deither, a Patty Walker print, weaving by Betty Lette, ... For the weather buff, there's a barometer and wind speed instrument. THE BATHROOM - The tile shower, glass door and flowered ceramic sink by local artist Steve Larkin make this a pleasant room to perform your daily toiletries. An electric wall heater helps to dissipate the moisture and the window which opens lets you listen to the local birds: robins, geese, ducks, osprey, gulls, ravens, and . . . STARTER KIT - Upon your arrival the refrigerator and kitchen table are stocked with a "starter kit." It varies, but can include: yogurt, juice, soft drinks, fruit, fresh breads, and chocolate treat. We always have fresh ground french roast coffee in the cupboard, sugar, milk, black and herbal teas, fresh cut flowers in the kitchen and bedroom. Ah! The Porch. When the sun is out, it's the best weather in town. The porch faces west and the hedge blocks any wind and insures privacy. Pick a wicker chair, settee, double rocker or adirondack chair, get a glass of wine or iced tea, relax and enjoy the garden. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift (single-level property) - Smooth flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Garden - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/20000000/19994900/19994879/4f04d2d3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heart of Mendocino Village, Fabulous Views!

Everything to see and do in Mendocino is a short walk away. The rental is a small detached cottage, which comfortably accommodates two people, with a small sitting area in the front room. The owners give over the yard to renters, which we took advantage of, as the weather was beautiful while we were there. The hosts are very nice, and provided good advice on places to eat and things to do. Mendocino is a one of a kind place, and this cottage fits in perfectly with that vibe. ##### Teresa D.

This is the nicest place I’ve stayed at. I initially booked it for myself, but then my husband decided to join me. I was worried from the pictures that it might be too cramped for 2 people, but that was not at all the case. There is a nice comfortable indoor sitting space for 2, in addition to the kitchen table/chairs. And of course the garden space is amazing. But even on a rainy day, we were very comfortable and happy indoors. The kitchen gear was well-stocked. Mike and Kathleen are lovely kind hosts. We hope to come again! ##### Katrina S.

The cottage is located in a lovely enclosed garden, and has a southern or southwest exposure. Thus, the cottage has lots of sunlight and a very charming outlook to the garden. Everything necessary for a satisfactory stay is provided: a comfortable bed with beautiful linens; a good shower; a functional kitchen and two comfortable armchairs with good reading lights. Everything was immaculate and in good condition. We loved the location of the cottage in the heart of the village. We never used our car during our entire three night stay. That was wonderful. Mendocino Village has many good restaurants. It was a joy to be able to walk to and fro to an excellent meal in the evening. On top of all this, we found Mike and Kathleen to be warm and friendly hosts. Their long residence in their historic Mendocino home has provided them with a deep knowledge of the area which we found very interesting. Highly recommend a stay in this charming cottage! ##### Margaret B.
