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.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

I wish I could give this property and the host more than 5 stars! The cottage is an absolute fairytale dream with a clear attention to detail that the host generously provides to ensure a comfortable stay. We were only able to enjoy the cottage for a quick stay and we were so sad to leave. Do not think twice about booking this charming cottage!

We enjoyed our stay at Linda's Larkin Cottage very much and hope to return in the next few months. The cottage is in a terrific location and is super clean, sweetly set up, private, and comfortable. The hot tub was used every day and the view of the ocean from the hot tub (and the cottage itself) was nice.

PERFECT HONEY TIME!

What a beautiful place to stay and so close to all the places my wife and I wanted to go. I couldn’t believe my iPhone didn’t have reception. Come on Verizon. The only problem was slow internet. But with the view, yard and hot tub, just perfect. Thank you for the perfect stay.

Wonderful and invaluable cottage

I was able to attend our family vacation because of this beautiful, tidy, and well-appointed cottage (with kitchen). I especially loved its quiet birding-garden spaces and easy layout where I could take good care of myself, yet be close to the family. Communication was excellent. The extra touches and goodies were appreciated. It was a lovely place to be on my milestone birthday. My husband and I will visit again! Thank you!

Staying at Larkin Cottage

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 Larkin Cottage

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.
