Larkin Cottage is the best place to stay in Mendocino. While it does not offer an ocean view it does offer you a peaceful retreat with an amazing secluded garden cottage. Diann does a fantastic job preparing for your stay with all sorts of local goodies, including sherry and local wines, then leaves you to your own devices. She has a wealth of information and will happily make any dinner or excursion reservations for you. The new hot tub is a big plus! more
