Mendocino Village Cottages

Mendocino Village Cottages sits in the northwest corner of Mendocino Village, at the end of a gravel driveway that faces Mendocino Headlands State Park. The setup is three separate units on the same property: the New House, the Green House, and a Garden Studio, each with a fireplace. Because the driveway is a dead end, there's no through traffic, which keeps things quiet despite the location's proximity to town.

Staying here means having a car optional. It's about a five-minute walk down to the ocean bluffs, and roughly the same distance to the center of Mendocino village, where the restaurants, shops, galleries, and the Mendocino Art Center are clustered. If a day trip is on the agenda, the coastline, other state parks, and the Skunk Train are all within driving distance, but the cottages themselves are set up so that walking covers most of what's needed for daily life during the stay.

The property is geared toward couples looking for a secluded, fireplace-equipped base rather than a full-amenity resort. Pricing falls in the moderate tier, and each of the three units — New House, Green House, Garden Studio — has its own page with photos and layout on the official site.

Booking runs through the Mendocino Village Cottages website, where a reservations and pricing page lists current rates and availability. The property can also be reached directly by phone or email for questions before booking.
