This is our fourth visit to the water tower, and it's been wonderful every time! One of our favorite things is the second floor bedroom, surrounded with light and the ocean view from the bed. We also love taking cocktails up to watch the sunset up from top of the tower.

Fantastic quaint place to stay in a wonderful location

Wendy and Don's place was wonderful. It was nice, clean, had a fantastic view, and was minutes away from the Mendocino coast. They were very gracious hosts and had everything we needed for the stay! Definitely recommend staying here.

Great Getaway in Mendocino

This is a wonderful place to stay in Mendocino. The location is terrific - an easy walk to everything in town and right on the road to the headlands. The water tower is very comfortable and great fun, and the gardens are beautiful. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Wonderful Water Tower

This is my fifth or sixth time here, there’s hardly any other place in Mendocino I would stay. Super quiet, wonderful hosts, great location, comfortable beds, gorgeous garden to sit in. Three blocks from everywhere in Mendocino Village, yet close to the headlands and ocean.
