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!

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.

The Larkin Cottage has the feeling of Mendocino yet is situated in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood just minutes away. From the thoughtful gift basket on arrival to our last glimpse of the ocean beyond the lush, peaceful garden, our stay was perfect. Thank you so much, Ellen, for our short yet sweet stay.

Loved it!
We were extremely happy with our stay at the Larkin Cottage. For starters, the location is perfect - just a quick 5 minute drive to the center of Mendocino. The cottage is so charming and inviting. You can tell that Linda puts care into it's upkeep and maintenance. And, how great to have a private deck, hot tub and yard right outside the back door. Linda went the extra mile and left us a lovely gift basket to help us celebrate our birthdays. This is now our "go to" place when we visit Mendocino for a weekend getaway.

Cozy Weekend Getaway
We absolutely loved everything about the Larkin Cottage! It is just the right size for 2 people, and has all the comforts of home. Linda’s communication was thorough and timely. The location between Mendocino and Fort Bragg was ideal for our needs. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and cozy fireplace. What a great place to curl up and read one of the many books that Linda has available! We visit the coast several times each year, and we definitely plan to return to the cottage. Thank you, Linda!
