Great stay near Mendo

Excellent property in the redwoods. Nice and secluded but short jaunt into Mendocino. Very clean with all the amenities you would want. We enjoyed the fireplace on a cool rainy evening. Would stay in same place if we are in the area. Hosts were excellent in alerting us to temporary road closures due to weather.

Perfect rest/work solitude environment

Beautiful, well attended, fully equipped, clean cabin surrounded by redwoods, 4 miles from the intoxicating ocean. With always available but invisible host family. WIFI brought in my daily yoga classes from Boston, I cooked dinners, made progress in my work, hiked the redwoods, sat by the fire in the wood stove, spent time writing by the ocean (few feet from the waves), watched Netflix, visited gardens, in the morning walked the village with cappuccino and freshly baked pastry. There was one disappointment though - after many decades of traveling, since I was driving this time, I decided to bring my own pillow – and what do you know, the pillows in the cabin were much better than mine!!! To some, this is what heaven looks like...

Mendocino Cottage Review

My wife and I had a wonderful 1 week stay. This was our 5th 1 week stay here. We just love being in the redwoods and enjoying their beauty. It is so peaceful and quiet. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need. It's located about 5 miles from Mendocino. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful Cabin in the Redwoods!

We thoroughly enjoyed our ten night stay in this well-maintained and well-equipped cabin. Located in a quiet setting among beautiful redwood trees, several trailheads of the Jackson Demonstration State Forest are within walking distance. The town of Mendocino and ocean hikes are only four miles away. On many days when the marine layer covered the coast, we returned home to sit with our dog on the sunny deck. A memorable experience all around.

Third Time !!!

This was our third time staying at this property. Always a treat to be here. Kitchen well equipped with all the right utensils. Great gas stove! Six skylights and two big picture windows facing the forest. Had a power outage due to a winter storm. Owners very quickly connected cottage to power generator, all was well. We hope to stay next year. For us, the cottage is our favorite good habit.

Peaceful and cozy

The cabin is beautiful and feels private. It has a heater and a wood burning stove (with wood) that kept us warm. Full kitchen and fridge with allowed us to cook our meals as needed, they even had pots, pans, utensils, salt and pepper etc. They have some games, puzzles, and books too. Several books on local trails and wildlife, as well as binoculars - these were great to have. It was quiet outside, and we could see the stars. It was a pleasant stay and not too far from Mendocino or Ft Bragg. We hope to stay here again in the future :)

Peace and quiet in the Redwoods

This peaceful and secluded property is 4 miles from the town of Mendocino. It is well kept up, well equipped for 2 people and very clean. We did have a problem with the wall heater, but the owner was right on it and willing to help us out. We can't wait for our next trip to Mendocino and hope to stay here.

A lovely cottage in the woods ...

My wife and I (seniors) had a wonderful stay at this very quaint, clean, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped cottage. The property was exactly as described in the listing and very reasonably priced. We particularly enjoyed the solitude (about 4 miles east of town) and the wood stove. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this property to anyone considering a trip to this beautiful part of the California coast. Happy campers ...
