Recently remodeled with redwood and fir accents, the Mendocino Redwood Retreat - Sunrise Cottage offers an idyllic getaway in Little River just 10 minutes from the quaint coastal town of Mendocino.

Unique cottage in a convenient location
What's good: - location is really convenient - games for the kids What you should understand before you book: - there's no dishwasher. So, if you plan to eat at the rental, be prepared to hand wash dishes - the main living area (including the kitchen) is up the spiral staircase. - the kitchen is very small and minimally equipped. - there is a grill at the rental, but we couldn't get it to work. To be fair, the listing doesn't advertise a grill.
