Lovely Cottage in Mendocino
My husband and I stayed here earlier in December to enjoy a quiet celebration of my birthday. We loved everything about this charming little cottage, especially the private hot tub outside. Linda is a wonderful host and we felt very much cared for here. We highly recommend Larkin Cottage.

About the host

Host profile image
I purchased The Larkin Cottage in 2006. I really was not looking to buy a property in Mendocino but I had recently retired and came to the area to visit a friend. I saw this lovely property and knew it would be a wonderful place to share with my family and friends. The Larkin Cottage was an extra bonus!

Why they chose this property

The Larkin Cottage property has so much character. The main house on the property was built in the late 1800's and originally was located closer to the highway. It has been well loved and cared for over the years. The Larkin Cottage was the original chicken coop, converted to housing in the 1940's for the original owner's son to live in after he married. In the 1970's the guest house was added and much later the gazebo and play house. All of the buildings have been remodeled in the last 5 years.

What makes this property unique

The Larkin Cottage is so private and yet so close to town. It really is a special place.
