Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very easy, ahead of time check in. Staff was very communicative. The cottage was very cute and comfortable. Very cozy. My dog had a welcome package which made me very happy. Location was great for us. There is a small beach near by. Everything was very close. Would definitely stay again!
This is the Cypress Cottage. It has an enclosed area for our dog to go out quickly.
It’s so cute and cozy. Enough for two plus a small to medium sized dog. It has a kitchenette to cook a bit.

They paid attention to details through the welcome kit for our dog, the little touches in the kitchen, the bottle of wine. Everyone was also so nice! Thank you

Was a bit noisy. Being In the middle of 2 other rooms, we could clearly hear conversations on both sides. Made it hard to sleep. We left a day early.

I was originally concerned about self check in…. But it was seamless and I felt safe and extremely comfortable!

DAVID, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this place and would stay here again! It's really the best pet-friendly hotel we've stayed at -they provide a bed, some treats, bowls, poop bags, not to mention there's so much space for dogs to run around and explore.
Xiomara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We absolutely loved her stay. I would’ve gave it five stars however there was some mold in the shower and you could definitely smell it. The shower needs a good scrub down, but besides that it was excellent. The bed was comfy! Loved our view. Parking was super easy. I plan on definitely returning.
Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We rented the Rose cabin. It was a comfortable, old-fashioned cabin that met our needs. A small bottle of Chardonnay was provided which was a nice touch. I liked the wood floor in the cabin. A number of windows were oriented to view West towards the ocean. I would stay there again.
Tom, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best bed ever!

My king size bed was super comfortable. I asked the manager for a little fan and got it. Everything worked. Lovely view. It was very clean. I especially enjoyed the cool sea air that breezed through our patio door and opposite window in the late afternoon It was quiet. Easy to park . I recommend this place.

Amazing property. We stayed at the cypress cottage with our dog. The hosts were so sweet where our dog got his own bed, bowl and towels. The cottage is also so clean and the views are amazing.

The view at sunset from the Anderson Valley room was outstanding. I never wanted to leave.
ANDREW, 1-night trip

Lovely and charming property. I stayed in the Cypress Cottage, and despite the cooler temperatures the room was well heated and comfortable at all times. The staff, especially Kate, were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Dogs are very welcome as well.

This new offering is a gem. So cute, so quiet, and the check in experience was both easily contactless, but also attentive when we arrived. There was a small bottle of wine and two glasses in the room. <3 Headed to Mendocino's GoodLife Cafe for breakfast the next day, do not miss it.
