There is no question that we will make a reservation again to return to this studio this Summer at least once. Private, quiet and walking distance to everything you need made it a car free experience that was perfect for our weekend getaway. Mendocino is a favorite destination and this stay allowed us to get the most out of each day. Reserve a couple of days and enjoy this studio!

We had a delightful stay at the cottage during our quick weekend trip to Mendocino. The location was perfect right in the middle of town and we were able to walk down to the Headlands State Park as well as the downtown art galleries and cafes. Heather is a fantastic host and we will absolutely seek this place out on our next trip to Mendocino.
