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.

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.

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!

Fabulous little cottage
The Larkin Cottage is a beautiful little gem. It is exactly as described, in excellent condition, very clean, and beautifully appointed. Every little detail is thought of. We honestly felt like we could stay there and just move in permanently. We met Linda and she was just delightful. I highly recommend this property in Mendocino, you will not be disappointed.

The Larkin Cottage was a perfect respite during our Pacific Coast vacation! It was cozy and warm after a day of sightseeing! Linda was very helpful with all of our questions. We enjoyed all of the material she made available in the cottage regarding restaurants, hikes, etc. We had our best dinner with views at Albion River Inn Restaurant, Mendocino Cafe, and Patterson’s Pub! We absolutely loved Mendocino! ❣️

Everything you need or want
It’s a cozy, lovely space. The host Linda has provided so many touches, among them fleece robes, a useful gift basket with snacks and wine, a special anniversary gift, tons of quality towels, many bed pillows of every loft, a kitchen with quality knives and all the basics. The hot tub was also a great perk! The location is just outside of town, just a couple of minutes away. It’s near highway one, but at night it is very quiet. This host has real pride of ownership. She provides everything possible for a nice stay.

The cottage was better than described. The bed was comfortable, the spa was clean & hot. There were plenty of linens and comfortable robes to sit on porch and enjoy the fresh ground coffee. The kitchen has everything you need. It was a great opportunity to unplug and reconnect with nature and each other.

Larkin Cottage-June 2023
Linda is an exemplary host and communicator. The cottage is very well maintained, with comfortable furniture, lighting from its many windows, nicely stocked kitchen, gas fireplace, and accessible WiFi. Outside, the gardens are beautiful, the location is quiet and nicely accessible to Highway 1 and the town of Mendocino. This was our second stay. Perhaps there will be a third!

Don’t miss out!
The Larkin Cottage is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. It’s incredibly pretty with the yard full of blooming trees and bushes, flowers and ground cover. It’s a welcoming, comfortable home away from home. Linda takes great care of her property. The guest house couldn’t be sweeter either. It’s an ideal location just outside of Mendo proper, and a world unto itself!
