We loved our stay at the Mendocino, CA cottage in the redwoods. The cottage was beautifully designed, well-maintained and absolutely spotless. It was so peaceful and quiet with a view of the redwoods out every window. It was only about 5+ miles from downtown Mendocino. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage.

Amazing, serene stay surrounded by redwoods! If I didn’t know this house had been rented for over three years, I would have thought we were the very first guests, it was immaculately clean and so well kept. The listing photos were exactly what we found. Four nights weren’t enough. We could easily have stayed a week or more. Tip: Download Google Maps for offline use before you go. Cell service and data are spotty along the coast, not just near this house. The location is the perfect jumping-off point for Avenue of the Giants and exploring the coast both north and south. Mendocino is just 4 miles and less than 10 minutes away. Harvest Market at Mendosa's in Mendocino is well stocked with the essentials for picnics and cooking meals. The bed was comfortable, the linens lovely, and the house had everything we needed. A few spices, condiments, coffee and tea, a few laundry pods, etc. Plenty of hot water for showers, a well-appointed kitchen (even sharp, high-quality knives!), and we cooked all our dinners there. Coffee on the porch each morning, listening to the birds, was magical. Owners were responsive to questions and helpful, without being intrusive. The property has all one needs but has been thoughtfully edited as not to clutter the environment. WiFi was good, though we had no cell service, but that’s part of the charm: complete serenity without distractions. The TV is set up for streaming if you want, but we mostly enjoyed 360° of trees and the peaceful quiet. Highly recommend!

A wonderful new and fully modern “cottage” with complete privacy and quiet. Modern, spotless bath and kitchen with modern appliances. Very well equipped. A ten minute drive to Mendocino village with its shops and restaurants. A short drive to all the attractions of the Mendocino-Fort Bragg area. Checking in was smooth and flawless. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Quail Cottage! The location was perfect, surrounded by Redwoods, secluded and felt very private. The home was absolutely spotless! It felt brand new and really luxurious! We hope we can stay again!
