I would prefer it if you didn't let others know of this secret find of mine. Go yourself, enjoy the peace in an intimate setting, regale the staff ( Peter and Mary ) with stories and wildly embrace them, plan your return trip, all so that we can keep La Petite Maison fresh in our memories and heart. Do not,... more

Thank you, Peter and Mary, for making your cottage so cozy and comfortable. You thought of all the little touches to make my stay so wonderful. I loved the skylights over the bed, what a gift to fall asleep looking at the multitude of stars at night. The property is lovely, I enjoyed sitting on the patio with a good... more

We had so much fun. Our cottage was charming and comfortable and the gardens were lovely. The setting couldn't have been more romantic. Staying at La Petite Maison is a great value, and we will not hesitate to return on our next visit to Mendocino. more

Down the road from the town of Mendocino where the cutest shops, fantastic food, and beautiful sites can be enjoyed. La Petite Maison is tucked away in the redwood forest. Great for bird watching, serenity, and space with all one would need to stay for as long as possible. Peter and Mary are the most darling hosts. They made our... more

We said again last night, "Wish we were still in Mendocino at our little yellow house." It was a dream get away. Mary and Peter were so inviting and friendly- a lovely couple who helped us to feel very welcome. The house was beautiful. Gorgeous gardens that were obviously done with love and a very green thumb. The house is... more

My wife and I loved our stay at La Petite Maison. The first few nights of our married life were more than comfortable. The owners greeted us warmly, showed us around the property, gardens, and cottage, and then gave us our privacy for the rest of our stay. They had even put fresh-cut flowers throughout the cottage, along with some... more

I had asked all the questions but I did not ask if the ceiling was made of windows. My fiance and I we struck awake at 5:32 by army of skylights. It was as bright as midday and we could not rest in the bedroom. There are only two sets of curtains in the whole place and it has many... more

First the private courtyard, replete with frogs, flowers, morning sun, fresh-ground coffee, and, bird-houses everywhere -- some occupied, all amazing. Then wander, in your P-J's if you wish, through Mary's gardens...a treat of ongoing experimentation...not for the unadventurous! Relax with a book from Peter's huge selection; if you don't finish it, or want to read the sequel, no worries...take the... more

My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights. When we arrived there were all kinds of little added touches. A bottle of wine, some fruit, and a few other things in the fridge. The place was so clean and nicely decorated. Beautiful, out of the way location in the woods. Just a short drive - maybe 10 min drive... more
