Home Sweet Home
We reserved the cozy Larkin Cottage for our honeymoon and were greeted with a gift basket that made us feel welcome. This sweet home had everything we needed, and wanted, to make our time there comfortable and relaxed--including plenty of room to organize our stuff so that we weren't just living out of our luggage. We chose to cook some meals in the very complete and thoughtfully appointed kitchen, as well as explore the local restaurants that host Linda recommended. Linda's thoughtful communication with us in advance made us feel that when we arrived at the Larkin Cottage, we truly were at home. We will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots of space, lovely garden, comfortably furnished, wonderful art work, well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck in the evening while having a picnic dinner. Linda has done an amazing job making the Larkin Cottage a welcome place. We plan to return in the future.

Cozy Cottage
We spent 3 nights at the Larkin Cottage and wished for more. The place was perfect to finish up our 10 California road trip. It was in a great location to venture up and down the coast. Knowing that we had a nice place to come back to and make our own meals then relax in the hot tub was comforting. The property was gorgeous with all the gardens and flowers. The owner was very informative and communicated everything we needed to know.

Cute and Comfortable
This is a cute, little cottage, well-equipped, and comfortable. It is maybe 3 minutes by driving from the Village of Mendocino. The kitchen is very small, with little counter space, but adequate for making simple meals. We enjoyed the view of the ocean and the surrounding garden. The host is very responsive and helpful. The hot tub was a treat and we would have loved to used it more if the weather had been cooler.
