Love this place. We had the whale watch room with partial ocean views. The room is spacious and very pleasant. The deck is a nice place to sit, enjoy, and take in the views. Lots of vista points and hike options nearby. Super quick to pop into Mendocino. Fort Bragg is worth the short drive, too. We should have stayed another night. Can't wait for an opportunity to come back again.

Really lovely property - the views and grounds are serene. Very pet-friendly as well. The only thing to note is some of the rooms don’t have blinds over the top window near the ceiling (e.g., Captain’s Watch) so you may wake up with the sunrise.

Cute cottages by the ocean. There was not a great view of the ocean compared to neighboring residences. The temperature control was a bit finicky as it was controlled by an electronic fire stove. Okay location to get to nearby towns and hikes.

It was lovely to be just 2 miles from Mendocino, with views of the Ocean and having a full cottage with kitchen and dining table. Fairly rustic, not luxury in any means but great value for the price. Careful, the Rose Garden cottage is not a 2 bedrooms cottage. It can sleep 4 but the entire space is open (bedroom has no door) and has large opening to the living room where the sofabed is for the other 2 guests.

The location is good but our room was very close to Hwy 1. Check in and Check out was electronic and very easy. Our room appeared maintenance deferred. The bathroom was ok but could use an update in materials and fixtures. The floor in the room is vinyl and peeling up in places.

We stayed in the Cypress Cottage. It was very quiet and comfortable. You could see the ocean from the window and the kitchen was stocked with all you need for cooking. They supplied coffee, tea and a complimentary bottle of wine. The carpet needed to be removed due to age in the eating area, stained. Upon entry the cabin smelled of dogs from the past. We had to air it out. We were not particularly bothered by this being a dog owner ourselves but not what we wanted to smell on a getaway without our dog. Otherwise, the cabin was lovely, self check in a breeze and atmosphere fantastic!

Very easy, ahead of time check in. Staff was very communicative. The cottage was very cute and comfortable. Very cozy. My dog had a welcome package which made me very happy. Location was great for us. There is a small beach near by. Everything was very close. Would definitely stay again!
This is the Cypress Cottage. It has an enclosed area for our dog to go out quickly.
It’s so cute and cozy. Enough for two plus a small to medium sized dog. It has a kitchenette to cook a bit.
