This small mother in law unit is exactly as described. Quiet, Quaint, and Quinticential. No frills. What we needed for a quick weekend to the coast.
Funny little lock key box, took a minute to figure how to use it.
Location, back yard, accessibility
Super cute little spot. Close to tons of hiking and wildlife. Beach is just below. Heater works amazingly well. The BBQ is great for a camping out feel.
A little scruffy but you’re in a world class destination and what do you really need beside a hot shower(on demand), a queen bed that’s comfy and a little table and chairs by the barbecue w/a fenced private yard for man’s best friend! We loved it as a jump off to this amazing California Coast.
I had the pleasure of a five-night stay in the garden cottage. Perfectly suited for a solo stay. It is roomy enough for two, but bear in mind that it is compact. The deck and garden expands the space. Probably best functions as a base while getting out and exploring during the day. The well water is excellent and very palatable right out of the tap. No sulphury or metallic taste. Have a little patience with the on demand hot water and you're good! Very private. Some traffic noise that tapers off at night. Otherwise, peaceful and quiet. I really enjoyed the sound of the wind in the trees, hummingbirds and butterflies in the garden and curious chipmunks (Ground squirrels?). Very accessible to Mendocino town, rivers, beaches, restaurants, shopping and hiking.
Comfy bed, quiet and peaceful, quaint and lovely garden
A bit confused between Ocean Cottage and Garden Cottage since Ocean Cottage had the address on the wall. Great memories of long Mendocino weekends when I was a child. A few ants in the bathroom. The refridgerator was so cold it froze my vegetables. I would stay here again.
It was a place to stay and was very quiet - however there is definitely a mouse and ant problem.
I did not love anything! There are no numbers on the house to locate it. I was charged 324.00 for a booking/cleaning fee. Never again will I use Vacasa! When we called to ask about the address of the cottage the woman was rude and could’ t tell us anything about the cottage. Very bad experience.
Overall a little small. Great privacy and lovely garden. Converted garage with garden deck and off-street parking. 10 miles from Mendocino. Clean and cosy.
My husband and I were looking for a quick get-away for a few days to escape the scorching Lake County heat, and found this place. It was the perfect location for access to the Mendocino coast, and its affordability made a multi-night stay viable. The room is a generous size, and tastefully decorated. Love the flooring and the lack of carpets. The walk-in shower was a powerful, warm and welcome experience after an afternoon of ocean kayaking! The queen bed was just right and provided a great night's sleep for the both of us. Remember to take a photo of the access code, so you don't inadvertently lock yourself out ;) No more day trips to the coast for us - we'll now book an overnight here to savor our short breaks just that little bit longer!
My husband and I had a beautiful week in this lovely garden cottage! It was so private and quiet that we were able to turn on 'relax mode' almost as soon as we got there.
The first two pictures about the property are VERY misleading. There is NOT an ocean view from the cottage. The garden is unkempt and overgrown with weeds. It's small and cramped. Problems with the shower handle coming off when turning the shower on. The shower floor is not level and does not drain on one side. Chairs were low and hard to get up from. Not recommended for older or handicapped people.
It was of the highway enough to be quiet and had been cleaned before our arrival. It was adequate in most aspects. The fence will not keep a small/medium dog in. There is an ant problem also. I never give a 5 of 5 rating. I would rate overall at a 3 because of the ants and fence issues.
