About The Owner

We have two great children and live on a small ranch in Santa Cruz County. We love the outdoors and sharing this special place with others.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 1942
Why The Owner chose Mendocino

This home has been in our family for several generations. We recently remodeled it and added all new furniture. We love to relax, watch the ocean, read books and play with the kids at The Cottage.

What makes this cottage unique

The property is a unique one within Mendocino. We have one of the largest pieces of property within the actual Town of Mendocino. We also enjoy the only running creek which empties into the Pacific below.

Watching deer, wild turkeys, birds of all kinds, and many squirrels are favorites of our kids.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cute cottage. The owners had just installed new hardwood floors and added a new flat screen TV (not that one would want to watch television while you are there). But it made this cute cottage even more inviting. We woke up every morning to the wild turkeys gobbling in the front yard. The beds and linens are to die for. I never want to get out of bed. And as always, the hot tub was perfect after a chilly morning of abalone diving. We look forward to our next dive trip here. For all of you abalone divers, this house is the perfect location to stay in and dive. It only takes 10 minutes from doorstep to cove. Comfortable, clean, and a great location!

My friends and I enjoyed this house so much. We walked to Mendocino every day and enjoyed that village. The furnishings are excellend and we enjoyed spending time cooking in the kitchen. We loved the gas stainless steel stove/oven and we spent as much time in the hot tub as possible.

Thank you Thompson family. We used to live here and come back to visit when we can. We have found the hidden treasure of a place to stay in Mendocino. We love this place and so does our dog. The bamboo floors are wonderful. The view is incredible and we enjoyed the hot tub every night looking at the stars. We had friends over and had a wonderful BBQ party. You will be seeing more of us.

Very dissapointing. The house was not clean, jaccuzi was not usable.

It looked like it had not had anyone there for months and had not been cleaned. We had to buy light bulbs! Would not recomend to anyone. Mendocino was great.

Turkey Run

This cabin ending up being one of our favorites! The wild turkeys came through the front yard every morning and evening. I loved sitting outside looking toward the ocean in the evenings. The place was cozy and clean. It was just as we expected & more. We spent hours in the Jacuzzi sipping champagne while taking in the smells, sites and sounds of this wonderful coastal town. I got up early every morning and walked my dog into the village without a hitch. I personally loved the location. The beds are dreamy. We slept like babies. We will definitely return!

Relaxing Cabin With a View

4 of 5
Submitted: October 14, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My husband and I spent a few days at the Mendocino cabin and found it to be relaxing, fun, and enjoyable because of the location, view, wood stove, books and Cd's, and not to forget, the very comfortable bed! If you view this place as more of a rustic cabin with ammentities you will not be disappointed. There are maintenance issues that I understand are now being addressed by the owner, so check first if you are counting on the hot tub, for instance. It was very nice to be able to use the laundry equipment located in the shed for long term travelers such as we were. And it is always nice to be able to cook a meal when doing extensive traveling so I appreciated having basic condiments at the house. It was a little difficult to find the house at first, but if you look for the Blackberry Inn, it is right across the street. We drove into Mendocino several times and enjoyed shopping there.

Owner's Response: Regarding the hot tub, it has always worked. This was the first time someone said it did not work so we sent our spa guy to check it out. It is working just fine. Apparently these guests did not realize you must turn up the thermostat to the desired temperature so the water will actually heat up. There are directions as to how to do that, but it does not take a brain surgeon to figure it out ;-)

Sunset Special

Submitted: September 9, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My wife, 3 year old daughter, dog and I just stayed for 5 nights at the Mendocino cottage. We came from Redding, CA and were glad to escape the heat a smoke!! We had a great time and would consider staying here again. We really liked the location since we were one mile away from my wife's sister's family who live right in Mendo. It was my daughter's first time to the beach and it was really nice just to drive to town and head down to the beach. My wife and I have rented many other houses on VRBO and we both felt that we slept better at this house than at any other because of the comfortable beds. Also, I didn't expect the two large living room windows with such a stunning view of the Pacific during the evening sunsets. Each day, there were 3 or 4 deer (including a nice size buck) that would wander up through the yard. The house could use some maintenance, but so could 80% of the houses in the area, so no big deal there. I would definitely stay here again and also feel that the price charged for the house was a good value for the area. Thanks, guys!!!!

We stayed at the cottage again and we loved it. Our dog raced around and got into the creek that flows on the property and had a great time. It was clean and the furniture is beautiful. We will be coming back.
