We loved this place and would stay here again! It's really the best pet-friendly hotel we've stayed at -they provide a bed, some treats, bowls, poop bags, not to mention there's so much space for dogs to run around and explore.

Lovely and charming property. I stayed in the Cypress Cottage, and despite the cooler temperatures the room was well heated and comfortable at all times. The staff, especially Kate, were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Dogs are very welcome as well.

Great little cottage, THE VIEW 😍

This was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay here again. When we walked in it smelled so clean, the beds were comfortable, the communication was great, they left extra garbage bags and bathroom supplies and even a bed, towel and bowls for our dog. The balcony was amazing!! The master bedroom upstairs was also amazing, bright, roomy, and charming. I gave it a 4/5 because there were so many spiders in all the windows and ants. We found spray under the sink and were able to spray the perimeter and wipe/kill all the spiders and ants with Clorox wipes we brought, but I was a little surprised the cleaning staff didn’t clean window sills and corners. Again, this place is amazing…dated like most places in Mendocino but overall well taken care of, clean and the communication, helpfulness of staff and overall experience was great.

Middling Mendocino

Great location. Good sized cabin, reasonably well-equipped kitchen, but very dated, in need of modernization, and the floor needs leveling. Lots of potential.
