Memorable thanksgiving with family ❤️

We as a family had such a cozy and comfortable thanksgiving break at the Magical Fairy Cottage. We loved as to how close it was to everything like restaurants, beach, state parks, lighthouse and other tourist attractions. Our toddler loved the cottage and didn’t want to leave. Couldn’t help but fall in love with all the surrounding trees and nature. The magical fairy lights were absolutely whimsical. Also, Janet was such a wonderful host. She was so helpful and promptly answered any and all of our questions right from the time of booking until the end of our stay. We will definitely love to stay at the Magical Fairy Cottage again should we visit Mendocino in the near future.

Enjoyable stay in cute country retreat

The cottage is attractively appointed with modern appliances and light fixtures, good shower, nice bedding, and strong WIFI. Greeted with a nice bottle of wine and a magical night time light show in the yard. Would be even better with more comfortable furniture and a firmer mattress.

Perfect location perfect host perfect cottage. Janet is the most wonderful Host and the cottage is so cozy. She was available to answer all questions and the location is perfect to just about anything near by. While the property is pet friendly Janet was extra tolerant of our very curious (and sometimes intrusive) puppy! We hope to be back.

Peaceful, Relaxing, Stay in the Country

The Guest House was Artistically decorated. Everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend was provided. Also, the grounds were beautifully landscaped. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub under the stars and trees. There was a light that projected lazier like bits of light on the tall trees that really set a great mood. Janet was very helpful with info for our stay and also gave us our privacy.

Lovely home tucked away in the trees

We had a wonderful time; the house was perfect for us and our beagle! The yard is completely fenced, so no worries about our dog getting out. Janet made it very easy for us to check-in, even supplying food and water dishes for our dog. Her home has a lot of character and little extras, great location. Our weekend was complete with beautiful Mendocino sunshine and a comfy place to come back to after our hikes. Would highly recommend this little hideaway! Thank you!

Tranquil, relaxing and rejuvenating get-away

My friend and I had the most rewarding and relaxing 5 day retreat into the gorgeous Redwoods and garden oasis of this delightful and comfortably roomy cottage just 1 minute drive from the lovely town of Mendocino. Our host Janet enhanced our stay with her warm touches, kind heart and generous thoughts and positive energy! Bed was comfortable, bathroom has a nice floor heater and great shower situation, and the fireplace was a nice addition to relaxing evenings, as well as the hot tub amidst the beautiful garden and redwood trees. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking our meals, and the coffee and tea and wine provided by Janet was greatly appreciated. We will 'hands-down' stay here again on future Mendocino get-aways when we are looking for calm, meditative relaxation and communion with nature and being Present in the day's special moments. :-) Thank you for everything Janet!! ~ Chris

Special cottage

This cottage is separate from the home of the owner but shares the lovely, tranquil garden. The owner is very helpful and responsive but never intrusive. We enjoyed every facet of the cottage and appreciated some of the little details that Janet made, one being the subtle green lights all over the large, beautiful redwood trees outside that went on in the evening. We would definately stay there again.

Echo Cottage is a Wonderful Getaway.

We traveled to Mendocino with our 2 dogs for a long weekend to escape the Sacramento heat. Echo Cottage is a beautiful, peaceful cottage that is delightfully decorated, comfortable and uses its space efficiently. We felt so at home there. We enjoyed the porch mornings and evenings and we made our simple breakfasts and dinners in the cottage’s kitchen. The bathroom was roomy and the bedroom was quiet and the bed comfy. Our pets were allowed the run of the fenced yard. Janet is a very gracious host. We would certainly visit again.

Wonderfully relaxing in a beautiful cottage and natural setting

My family of 4 plus our 2 pups had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Echo Cottage! The cottage was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and Janet was a lovely host. My two young boys and two pups loved the garden and trees, my husband and I loved morning coffee relaxing on the deck. The cottage was just the right size for the 6 of us to stay snug but comfortable. The windows and sky light and beautiful deck really let nature and the gorgeous redwoods in. We had a wonderful time hiking and beach combing. Janet was a great source of knowledge about the area, and my boys loved her!

Thanksgiving stay

Very cute cottage. My parents and I enjoyed our time here over thanksgiving break. It was perfect for the shorter days with a small fireplace to boot. Everything was very clean and the yard is special. Kitchen is designed for light cooking. Property manager is onsite - this is a good thing because we would have needed guidance if the rain had disconnected power. We really didn’t cross paths except for a warm welcome when we arrived and an equally warm sendoff. Top notch hospitality. Towels, dishes, coffee, tea, everything was provided. Best of all, the bedding was especially comfortable.

Immaculate Cottage With Much Attention to Quality Details

The setting was beautiful for this guest cottage with an artsy flair among beautiful big redwood trees. The wood craftmanship inside and out was amazing. The fenced in jacuzzi was very nice and private. A bonus for the kids was reliable wifi. We had so many fun adventures with very little driving involved like viewing beautiful sea cliffs, hiking to a waterfall, treasure hunting for sea glass and riding the Skunk Train. It was just a few minutes down the street to the picturesque seaside “village” (downtown Mendocino). It had many shops to stroll filled with a variety of beautiful arts and crafts plus restaurants. It was a perfect fit for our family of four.

Mendocino cottage

If you are looking for a stylishly appointed cozy, pet friendly house nestled in the redwoods just about 1 mile from downtown Mendocino, look no further. The location is as peaceful as they come. The backyard is beautifully landscaped and completely secured. Although we didn’t use it this time, there is a hot tub. The house has a smallish kitchen, and a bathroom with an absolutely wonderful shower. We recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the Mendocino north coast. It is just 9 miles from Fort Bragg and close to other exciting locations and adventures along the north coast. Besides exploring the many treasures of Mendocino, don’t miss Noyo Harbor and a walk on Big River and Navarro River to name just a few. We will definitely go back to Echo Cottage.
