Cozy, Romantic Cottage just 3 minutes from the village of Mendocino!

The Larkin Cottage is nestled amongst redwood trees just 3 minutes from the village of Mendocino. It is on the same property as the live-in owner's main residence. The cottage includes all the amenities of home. The kitchen is furnished with ample dishes and pots and pans should you decide not to enjoy the many wonderful restaurants in the area. A gas BBQ is located on the deck. The living room is equipped with a flat screen TV, DISH high definition service, WiFi, blue tooth dock for music on your phone or tablet, DVD player, and a DVD library of movies filmed in the area. The bedroom features a queen size Sleep Number bed outfitted in luxurious linens including a down comforter and plenty of fluffy pillows. Waiting for you outside are porch rockers, a private hot tub, and lush gardens.

The Larkin Cottage property is abundant with beautiful flowers. Care has been taken to make sure that something is blooming every month of the year. The gazebo is a perfect spot for a small wedding.

PLEASE NOTE: Cal Trans has removed the trees on the west side of the property due to bridge construction. This construction can create noise during the day. The estimated completion date is Fall of 2025.

We enjoyed our stay at Linda's Larkin Cottage very much and hope to return in the next few months. The cottage is in a terrific location and is super clean, sweetly set up, private, and comfortable. The hot tub was used every day and the view of the ocean from the hot tub (and the cottage itself) was nice.

I wish I could give this property and the host more than 5 stars! The cottage is an absolute fairytale dream with a clear attention to detail that the host generously provides to ensure a comfortable stay. We were only able to enjoy the cottage for a quick stay and we were so sad to leave. Do not think twice about booking this charming cottage!
