Relax into Bliss

“My friend and I needed some spa time, so we booked two massages at the Sweetwater spa and could not have been happier! We enjoyed the coed outdoor covered Jacuzzi with its powerful jets and wonderfully warm water. The dry sauna was also a great addition before our massages. I felt so welcomed and taken care of during our time there, and the massages were truly what we needed to leave feeling blissfully relaxed.” view full review

Quaint, Relaxing, Cozy, and Dog-friendly

“We (my partner, our dog, and I) stayed in the garden cottage and loved it! The fireplace kept us warm and cozy. The highlight was definitely the hot tub on the patio, along with a fenced backyard for our dog. I also appreciated the provided basket with dog amenities. Plus, freshly baked muffins delivered to our door every morning were a good way to start our day!” view full review

Funky, Cozy, Excellent Location

“Our girls' trip was perfect with the inclusion of Sweetwater Inn. We enjoyed pastries served in a basket outside our room and had excellent coffee in our room, allowing us to wake up at our leisure. Plus, the hot tub was perfect for nighttime relaxation after our events. The location made it easy to walk to different restaurants, and the starry sky on our evening strolls was a beautiful bonus.” view full review

Perfect Location, Great Amenities

“The garden cottage I stayed in was not only beautiful, but it also offered a lovely bathroom experience. With everything clean and perfectly maintained, I truly enjoyed my time relaxing after exploring the local area. I appreciated the small touches like quality soaps and bathrobes, contributing to the overall comfortable experience. The private hot tub was a fantastic way to unwind as well!” view full review

Our stay in the Garden Cottage was wonderful! It was perfect for a quiet retreat, situated within walking distance of Mendocino Village, where we enjoyed exploring the local shops and dining options. The private hot tub was a highlight, but it was incredibly hot, making it hard to fully enjoy. The overall experience felt just right, though the hot tub issue was a letdown.

I had a mixed experience at this spa hotel. The Redwood Tower was a highlight with its stunning rooftop deck and proximity to excellent dining options. However, there were significant cleanliness issues with the private spa tub, which was quite disappointing. The location is fantastic for exploring Mendocino, but be aware of cleanliness concerns when using the facilities.

Our stay at the Sweetwater Inn was nothing short of amazing! The cozy environment with the hot tub and peaceful gardens made for a perfect getaway. The only minor downside was that the bathroom in the Apple cottage was a bit narrow, which made moving around a bit tricky at times. Overall, we felt relaxed and enjoyed the quick access to downtown Mendocino with its delightful eateries and scenic trails.

I had a great time during my stay at this cozy cottage in Mendocino. The setting was peaceful, and I loved being just a short stroll away from excellent dining options. The room was comfortable and had a small kitchen that was convenient, but I didn't get to use it this time. The only downside was that the pillows weren't as firm as I would have liked. Overall, a delightful experience, and I can't wait to return.

My stay was truly relaxing, with attentive staff and great amenities. The cottage we rented offered a cozy atmosphere with a hot tub and a charming fenced backyard for our dog.
