Mendocino Preferred in Mendocino, California

“They require guest to sign a rental agreement. They repeatedly sent the agreement by text which I couldn't read on sign on my phone. I suspect they have their process automated so that you don't deal with a human at each contact. When I emailed a question, the only response was, we sent you e-guide. Its like a distant, sterile, disconnected machine. They don't supply shampoo. The interior is very nice. Everything's functional. Nothing broken. The hot tub water isn't hot enough. The views are tremendously spectacular!”

“What an amazing retreat! We chose this place over a nearby inn or bed and breakfast because of the more affordable price, and it did not disappoint. We were in town for a wedding, and it was the perfect distance from the venue, as well as neighboring towns and local shops. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay—even creamer for the coffee maker, which was stocked with coffee grounds. We didn’t have any issues during our stay that required reaching out to the property managers; the instructions provided were clear, detailed, and easy to follow. While it didn’t have AC, the temperature is pleasant year-round, and if it ever gets chilly, there are baseboard heaters and a fireplace on the first floor (with firewood and kindling included). Quaint and quiet—just what we needed. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this is a great spot.”

“Absolutely spectacular setting! Love the views from hot tub, primary bedroom and common areas! Kitchen well supplied. Just wonderful to get to stay here!”

“The place is chill, lovely surroundings, right near the water. The business-like interaction that takes you out of the Airbnb platform was a turn off; also picking up the key in town when the sliding doors don’t lock was annoying. They also didn’t include any shampoo. But ultimately the place was pretty nice and the spa was an easy easy to relax into at the end of the day.”

“Exactly as listed. Very private.”
