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.

Cozy Cottage
We spent 3 nights at the Larkin Cottage and wished for more. The place was perfect to finish up our 10 California road trip. It was in a great location to venture up and down the coast. Knowing that we had a nice place to come back to and make our own meals then relax in the hot tub was comforting. The property was gorgeous with all the gardens and flowers. The owner was very informative and communicated everything we needed to know.

Garden of Delights
The Larkin Cottage has the feeling of Mendocino yet is situated in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood just minutes away. From the thoughtful gift basket on arrival to our last glimpse of the ocean beyond the lush, peaceful garden, our stay was perfect. Thank you so much, Ellen, for our short yet sweet stay.

Loved it!
We were extremely happy with our stay at the Larkin Cottage. For starters, the location is perfect - just a quick 5 minute drive to the center of Mendocino. The cottage is so charming and inviting. You can tell that Linda puts care into it's upkeep and maintenance. And, how great to have a private deck, hot tub and yard right outside the back door. Linda went the extra mile and left us a lovely gift basket to help us celebrate our birthdays. This is now our "go to" place when we visit Mendocino for a weekend getaway.

Mendocino Cozy Charm & Comfort
This is one of the most charming, comfortable and cozy cottages we’ve stayed in Mendocino. Gorgeous grounds with lots of rhododendrons, lovely, spotless cottage that is truly comfortable.. You’ll find everything you need here for a leisurely stay in a lovely residential neighborhood close enough to walk to town. This is our second stay and we will go back again.

Perfect Anniversary Retreat
Lovely property and cottage to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The kitchen is cozy but has everything you'll need. The cottage itself was roomier inside than I expected. The gas fireplace was great to hang out by. Linda, the owner was so welcoming with a gift basket left on the bed and helpful restaurant tips for us. We highly recommend staying here.
