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.

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!

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.

Mendocino cottage
We love the Mendocino coast line but unfortunately did not enjoy our stay in the cottage. We had expected more privacy along with the peace & serenity. The cottage is in the backyard of the main house and it is very close quarters. While we appreciate the hosts efforts to give us privacy(they shut their blinds), we did not like having a view of their house, how close it was, felt not very private for the hot tub, etc. -all you could see out the bedroom was the main house. Furthermore, the cottage is right on the road and while it is not super noisy...you definitely can hear traffic. Also we really enjoy cooking when we stay at VBRO and this was super nice but very tiny -- not a great place to cook a more complex meal. You have to move things to use things, not ideal. The cottage had some beautiful details and craftsmanship as well as the landscape was lovely but there were too many negatives -- very tiny, not comfortable furniture, bed/pillows and too little privacy especially considering the upper end cost for a mid week winter time stay. The hot tub was cold on the first night. It did heat up for the second night, however, there was not enough water in it which caused a very noisy jet that was blowing air. Please note that there is a 3 night minimum stay. We informed our host after one night that we would be checking out early and asked for a reimburesement for the final night- it was not granted.

Relax to the Max
We're so happy to have discovered Echo Cottage where we recently enjoyed a relaxing three-night anniversary celebration with our two Boston Terriers. The details provided at the time of booking checked off all of the elements we were seeking for our family getaway, including the security of a fully fenced yard where our two fur boys could adventure their way safely throughout the lovely garden. We were enchanted by the many artful, and at times whimsical, garden areas, including the magical array of softly colored twinkling lights at night. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the welcoming spirit of Kwan Yuen, beautifully standing tall in the foreground of the massive trunk of a majestically towering coast redwood tree. The pathway to the cottage was alluring as we passed by the main house and saw the warm lights of Echo Cottage greeting us ahead. We settled in readily, easily finding everything needed for our lovely stay. The kitchenette was thoughtfully stocked with excellent quality goods and provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the artwork chosen to enhance the beautifully crafted architectural interior. The only suggestion we might offer would be for a thicker and more comfortable cushion for the beautifully carved sofa bench. We so loved our stay at Echo Cottage so much that we're already planning a repeat visit in a few months!
