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.

The cottage was cozy and well supplied. Wish we could have stayed longer. Couldn’t access movies on tv - may be common on the coast

Property was nice but is aging. Stayed here about 10 years ago and was very happy with it. Looks like no upgrades have been made since. Room was full of ants even though we left no food in the room.
Very nice staff. Great place to bring a pet with you, complete with a pet package awaiting for them that was a nice touch. Rooms were charming but could use a deep clean in the grout and around the sinks/tiles/floor boards.

Great property of cottages. We got the water tower cottage with the hot tub and spent a grand night at the Inn. We even watched the last bits of the sunset on top of the water tower. Would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat!
