Sweet little cottage. The views from upstairs are lovely!

Location is excellent! You can walk down to the Bluff Trail, which is gorgeous! You also can walk to all the downtown shops and restaurants in Mendocino. It’s not too far from the botanical garden which is amazing anytime of the year. I really appreciate that dogs are allowed although right now there are a lot of Foxtails along the walkway to the front door.

Perfect for a quiet retreat

I loved how I could park my car for the entire stay and walk to "town" for food and drink as well as to the amazing headlands park.

Beautiful cottage and great location

I stayed here with my dog and we really loved it. It’s right at the headlands and close to the shore and an easy walk to town. The little fireplace was especially cozy on chilly nights. I slept downstairs on the hide a bed because my dog was afraid to go up the spiral staircase, but it was very comfortable. Anyway we will definitely check back in in the future.

Great location

Quiet and restful while also close and walkable to everything you need -- town shopping and beach hikes. A cozy cottage -- loved the gas fire and the upstairs rocking-chair view of the lighthouse.

Peaceful funky cottage

Perfectly situated cottage for a Mendocino stay. Walking distance to restaurants, coffee, hiking and retail but far enough away that it is quiet and private. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning soon!

Headlands View Cottage

It was nice to stay in a place that was as nice in person as it was in the online pictures! Perfectly clean, comfy recliners, sofa bed and queen bed both very comfortable, love the location within walking distance to the headlands and the downtown. We hope to come back and stay there again next summer!

comfortable cottage and lovely location

We loved the right-sized cottage with all the great views, the 'out the door' hikes right at the Mendocino Headlands State Park (insanely great coastal views!), the easy access to downtown Mendocino and surroundings, and the very comfy bed and recliner chairs! And quiet all around. A great vacation spot.

Perfect place to stay!

The location is incredible. Easily walk to everything downtown, the views of the headlands out the north windows is just so peaceful and relaxing. The rocking chairs by the window upstairs was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay here. And our pup loved the yard out back. Even with 2 houses on the same property, there’s plenty of privacy. It’s nice that each rental property has a yard on opposite sides of the buildings so even the dogs get some privacy when they play outside (yards are not enclosed by fencing but they’re big and the streets are not very busy). Would absolutely stay here again!

Awesome getaway in mendocino

Location and neighborhood is awesome. Highly recommended. Only gripe was the smoke detector which would go off in the middle of the night even if we were not cooking. Overall it was an awesome experience and would stay again

Great Stay For Christmas Holiday

My partner Becky and I - and our 2 year old pup - stayed here for the Christmas holiday weekend. The cottage was well appointed and warm. The bed very comfortable. We never needed the kitchen as we walked to our relatives’ home about a block away for holiday meals. The headlands trails were literally right out the door.l which our puppy loved. Would definitely stay here again.
