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.

Quaint little cottage to get away and read, rest, reflect. Perfect location close to Mendocino town, but far enough away for quiet seclude. Fully stocked kitchen, just bring your own food for cooking! No need to leave if you're looking for complete solitude.

This is a great getaway for two, yet so close to town and the ocean. With the kitchen, hot tub and deck, it’s hard to beat this place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Very nice. Cozy. We liked having hot tub and fireplace. Bed was comfortable. We were at cottage during some rainy weather. One suggestion would be to put two hooks to right of kitchen door to hang up raincoats. Also, appreciated the gas grill and beautiful flowers

The property was beautiful. Flowers all around the property were blooming. Hot tub was clean and warm. TV access worked great and it just happened to be the same channels we use at home. There was a generous goodie basket for us with coffee, wine and other goodies. The furniture and bedding were warm and cozy. We had a great visit. Thank you Linda for being a great host.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots of space, lovely garden, comfortably furnished, wonderful art work, well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck in the evening while having a picnic dinner. Linda has done an amazing job making the Larkin Cottage a welcome place. We plan to return in the future.
