It was an excellent house with antique pieces all over the property. Enjoyed it very much. Walkable distance to beaches. Center of the town place.

Renewal Weekend

Patrick (Central Valley of California)
Review submitted: February 23, 2012   Date of arrival: February 17, 2012

My wife of 41 years and friends of similar vintage spent 4 glorious days at Litton's House in Mendocino. Having stayed previously we know we would enjoy the weekend but owners Richard and Susan Strom were gracious hosts and nothing went amiss. The February weather in Mendocino was typical (windy, cool and wet) but little did we care with a gas-fired stove and ample supplementary heat. All was clean, crisp and organised so that we had only to cook, enjoy and sleep. Rest assured, this will be a relaxing and enjoyable respite from your routine - whatever it may be.

Family Weekend

LJ (Hollister)
Review submitted: October 27, 2011   Date of arrival: October 21, 2011

Location, Location, Location! Spent the weekend with six mid-twenties people and two early 50's. Did not have to worry about if someone set something down without a coaster. The house was lived in and liveable and TOTALLY MENDOCINO VILLAGE LIVING! Enough room for everyone. The kitchen, while not fancy, was the easiest kitchen I've ever cooked a meal in. The dishwasher saved us! Everything was as described. The ocean was so close you could hear, see and smell it. The market and local stores WE WALKED TOO! The only time we left the house or village was to celebrate a birthday and we used Mendocino Wine Tasting & Mendo Limo for our ride to the Albion River Inn! Excellent Limo Service too! WE ALL WANT TO GO BACK!!! We were natives for the weekend. Parked our vehicles and our cell phones and relaxed. Didn't start either up again until we had to on Sunday. THANK YOU! PS check out the whiskey tasting at the inn, very enjoyable!

Lovely House

CAP (San Francisco)
Review submitted: May 24, 2011   Date of arrival: May 14, 2011

My wife and rented this property for a weekend getaway in mid-May. The house and cottage are well-equipped, comfortable, and incredibly well-located for a quiet weekend in the village of Mendocino. We said to one antoher that we'd like to return and, given the property's size, to bring friends. Thank you, Richard.

Our Family Home Away from Home

Melissa108 (Davis, CA)
Review submitted: May 2, 2011   Date of arrival: February 18, 2011

Richard has made this place fantastic. We have been returning to this house for many years and feel like it is our home away from home. It is large, roomy, nicely furnished (has everything you need!), lovely garden, dog friendly, the location can't be better, and the price is affordable. We have used this home for a family reunion, a small family gathering, and a weekend away for relaxing. The best part is you can park your car at the house and not use it for the whole weekend. Walking distance to main street, resturants, grocery stores, beach, and shops. A true gem hidden in the small town of mendocino. We plan to continue returning for years to come.

Amazing Location! a Sauna, Hot Tub and an huge yard which accomodates our family Reunion.

Dee (San Francisco, CA)
Review submitted: January 13, 2011   Date of arrival: November 6, 2010

We stayed there in October '10 while we were attending our family reunion.
The house was very spacious with a great open layout.The yard is a wrap around yard with a huge lawn in the back. We were able to set-up everything perfectly for our family reunion without being cramped. The kids spent their time outside running around and having fun with our 2 dogs.
The house is located on a quiet street with hardly any cars and is walking distance to the grocery store and convenience of the main shopping street. The beach is 3 blocks from the house. We couldn't have asked for a better location! We will be back next year without a doubt.

Great for Family Reunion

The Kittell/Olson Family (Reno, NV)
Review submitted: December 27, 2010   Date of arrival: May 8, 2009

Our family stayed here a few years ago and we're quite pleased. The ocean and shopping is within walking distance and the barbeque in the backyard is nice for evenings at home. Games and puzzles were provided for those of us that don't sleep well, which was wonderful for catching up with those we don't see often. An extra plus is the hot tub and steam room.
We look forward to our next trip to the cottage soon, celebrating a 75th and 50th birthday.

The owners take pride in the home, it's not everywhere there is a bidet in the bathroom.

We would highly recomend this wonderful place to anyone, just make sure to leave a date for us to come back.

Fantastic location and room for 4 couples + kids!

Erika (Kensington, CA)
Review submitted: September 17, 2010   Date of arrival: September 10, 2010

We were looking for a rental in the town of Mendocino so we could be walking distance from everything, but with 4 couples and 2 kids, we didn't think we would find anything large enough. This property turned out to be great for us. We rented the main house as well as the cottage and studio. 2 couples were in the main house, one upstairs and one down, so there was plenty of privacy for all. We didn't end up using the room with 2 twins at all. We had another couple join us for dinner one night, and all 10 of us fit just fine in the dining room, though we did have to add a folding table and some extra chairs.

The property itself was very nice, with a large living room area and open kitchen, as well as comfy beds with nice linens. The kitchen was pretty well-equipped, we made 2 nice dinners there. The hot tub and sauna were a nice treat to have, something I usually associate with bigger rental homes outside of town, so somewhat unexpected for a village house. The outdoor space was lovely - we BBQ'd both nights and enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings. We brought our dogs with us, and they loved the large yard, though we had to keep an eye on them as the property is not entirely fenced in.

I think my only complain is that our trip was too short!
