This was our second stay at the Redwood Cottage. It was as perfect as I recall from our first trip! The team’s communication was great and they were very accommodating to our early arrival. This cottage is perfectly located to indulge in all the activities and beauty found in Mendocino. It is comfortable and has everything necessary to make you feel at home. We will be back.

The over-all ambiance & comfort of the Cottage is delightful. Very quiet and relaxing. Worthy of five stars. We're only downgrading it to 4 stars because there is some maintenance/repair that needs to be done--particularly at this price point. This includes: The interior is quite lovely, but the exterior is pretty funky. At this price point, some folks may be put off. The sliding glass patio door leading to the rear deck & hot tub needs to be replaced. The insulated glass is failing, leading to clouding, but more importantly it is difficult to operate, particularly the screen door which constantly fell off it's track. This door gets used frequently (and cannot be left open as there are flies). There is no garbage disposal. but the strainer is broken and cannot be locked in the open position, so you have to hold it open manually just a bit so the water drains out without taking food scraps with it. OK, a minor annoyance, but easily fixed. The refrigerator is too small for more than a few-day stay. Lastly, a note to seniors or persons with mobility issues: There are two steps from the house up to the deck, and of course more steps up into the hot tub, both without railings or grab bars. The bathtub/shower is quite high, making it somewhat difficult to get into, and even harder to get out of, although here there is a grab bar.Other than these annoyances, the cottage is quite lovely, and we will return.

A sense of solitude amongst the trees

My wife and I loved this small, yet perfect in many ways, hideaway. The property was as described. We found it to be, quite, well equipped, and a classic cabin type home. The fenced in deck with spa, was used everyday. We have stayed in many large beautiful homes, but this little jewel will bring us back again!

Another wonderful trip to Mendocino!

We’ve stayed at the Redwood Cottage a couple times now and have thoroughly enjoyed the quiet cabin and surrounding areas. Close to town, yet tucked away, it’s exactly what we were looking for. Listing is as described, clean, and cozy. Only thing this time around was that the hot tub was a bit dirty. Otherwise, met all our needs!

Quaint Redwood Cottage

The cottage was clean, quaint, and warm. Compact size allows for cozy accommodations for a small family of four. The loft is certainly kid friendly and the main floor bed is spacious and comfortable. Fridge was smaller than expected though as adequate as one for an RV.

Romantic and Rustic

I have been coming to Mendocino almost annually over the last 30+ years. This was my first time staying at this property and will say it will be one of the more memorable stays. The cabin was quaint and charming. Small, but absolutely perfect for two. Nestled in the redwoods on a quiet street. Deer, racoons, foxes, chipmunks and squirrels visited the property often. The property was clean, organized and accommodating. The hot tub was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed sitting in the hottub in the evening watching the mist drift through the trees overhead. It was so quiet and still! The interior of the cabin could use a few furniture updates. The kitchen amenities were eclectic, but we found everything we needed. We had very minor issues and were able to address them with one of the very friendly property managers. The location was very convenient, only three minutes from the Mendocino Village. Overall I would say this is definitely a place to consider if you are looking in Mendocino.

Cute studio in a nice neighborhood

Its not a 2 bedroom. There is one bed and then a futon mattress in the loft above as others have mentioned so I am unsure why is says 2 bedroom in the description. Its a studio . Maybe that is a setting with in the description choices that is beyond the property owners control? So can it sleep 4? Maybe. Not 4 adults. And honestly the loft railing didn't feel super safe if you had some rambunctious kids. This is a cute little spot in a nice neighborhood. If you are just looking for a place to sleep that feels safe for you and the pups its a great spot Yard is secure and area is clean. Property manager was a INN in town and they were fast and easy to deal with if we had any issues. Some of the reviews mentioned the TV but is must have gotten upgraded because its fine and we did not use the coffee pot but it looked new so I am sure that has been fixed also. But as some of the other reviewers have stated it could use some work for the price you are paying. The coffee table was pretty rickety. Felt unsafe to use it. The shower experience was tough for 2 6 ft humans. Its very small and felt a bit precarious getting in and out. The lack of towels for the 3 days with out a way to wash and try them was tough but we ended up putting them over a chair in front of the heater to help dry them in the winter months. Worked pretty good. Now for us the bed was terrible. As some reviewers have stated they loved it. We felt it was way to firm. We almost left a day early just so we could get a good night sleep. But again this is sounds like a personal preference. I was so happy to get home and get a good night sleep I almost cried. I think if the property owners did a few things to upgrade the spot and create a vacation experience they would get a lot of return renters. It has amazing bones, quiet location, and has a ton of potential. The property manager was very nice and accommodating. The bottle of wine and a nice birthday note along with a cute basket for Dog needs was a nice touch and was very thoughtful. Overall we had a great time in Mendocino. There was a lot to do that was dog friendly and I look forward to exploring the area more.
