The fenced garden creates a peaceful environment and accommodates bikes, kayaks, and children. Smoke-Free environment. No pets, please.

Mendocino Delight!
The water tower was great fun, was very well appointed and accommodated our daughter, my husband and I very comfortably. Weathering the epic storm over the weekend, Diane and Adrien took very good of care of us! I would definitely recommend this delight as THE place to stay in Mendocino.

Comfortable stay at Mendocino Tower
This was such a wonderful, unusual place, a converted water tower with three levels of living space. Wonderful ocean views, beautiful garden outside the living room and close to restaurants and shops in Mendocino! The view from the roof is amazing. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our Tower Trip
This a magical place ! Whether contemplating one’s day amidst the garden with the help of Anna’s hummingbirds or surveying the whole of Mendocino from the railing of the water tower, my wife and I depart physically rejuvenated and mentally refreshed beyond our expectations. Our spirits have been lifted !

Wonderful experience!
The property was very inviting and comfortable to stay in. We enjoyed morning coffee on the front patio overlooking the garden area, and evening views of the sunset from the roof deck. What a great base camp to launch treks to the botanical gardens or Cabrillo lighthouse. And it was ideally located for easy walking around the village for shopping and meals. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in something a little out of the ordinary and with a lot of character to boot!

I’ve stayed many places in Mendocino over the last 10 years, but never so close to the village. This converted water tower is unique, quiet, immaculate and centrally located. It’s very quiet, the views are lovely and the view from the top is breathtaking

Mendocino Stay
Great location with charming garden. We enjoyed the community theater across the street and easily walked everywhere in town as well as through the Mendocino headlands. Note that the bathroom is on the first floor, bedroom on the second. Owners live next door and greeted us upon arrival with recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

Halloween in Mendocino
We returned to the Watertower after many years and found it unchanged and delightful as ever. The new owners were very welcoming and told us about the annual Halloween street fair in the evening. There was an amazing troupe of circus acrobats and lots of children (and adults!) in costume. We had a week of great restaurants, ocean walks, and conversation with friends. Would definitely go back!

Magical Experience
We had an amazing time at the water tower, and made great memories as a family. The location was perfect, being centered within walking distance of the coast, restaurants, shops, grocery, etc. The tower itself was incredibly unique, clean, with epic views, and we loved the magical garden just out the front door. The owners were very kind and helpful. We hope to return in the near future.

Living a Mendocino Life
I have wanted to live in Mendocino since i was a child. I had that dream come true! Staying at the Tower for over a month let me see all that was wonderful in Mendocino and the areas nearby. The Tower allowed me to be a "resident" of the township and really get to know the area. Walking the Headlands daily at sunset...the shops...Fort Bragg and all the beaches!! The Tower was well equipped and the owners were nearby if we needed any help. My partner loves to BBQ and magically...there was a BBQ! The views were outstanding and we felt every need we had was fulfilled and then some. We hope to return within 6 months...5 weeks was not enough!! Many thanks to the owners for the gracious hospitality and friendship! Jared and Sue

The Water Tower is the most beautiful property I have stayed at in Mendocino. It is simply the best. The inside space is charming and so well-equipped, you will be so comfortable you won't want to leave. The view from the top of the tower is amazing and the location is perfect !

Love staying at the Water Tower!
We loved our return to the water tower! We had stayed 11 years ago when our kids were little and this time with 2 teens it was even better. Mom & Dad took the bedroom with the Queen bed and one teen took the twin on the top floor while the other had the very comfortable pull out couch in the living room. And there was room for our crate-sleeping dog as well. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating while also allowing plenty of privacy. Even during these COVID times most restaurants are open for take out and a few have outdoor dining. We love staying here! Such a clever design and had everything we could have asked for.
