About this property

Relaxing Privacy Overlooking the Stunning Mendocino Coast

Come and completely relax in this comfortably rustic three-bedroom home perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the scenic, storied Mendocino Coast. Located on a quiet, gated road ideally situated West of famed California Highway One, this cozy retreat is perfect for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, or a romantic getaway.
A beautiful eight mile drive from the historic village of Mendocino, this is the perfect home base for wine tasting, beach combing, kayaking, hiking, biking or shopping. Simply relaxing is fine, too, and you will find the peaceful setting and sea air perfect for sipping a local wine on the expansive porch, soaking in the private hot tub, or reading that book you've been trying to find time for. Treat yourself to the many fine local restaurants, or stay in and create a gourmet meal of your own in the fully equipped kitchen.
Each of the three bedrooms feature brand-new luxury pillow-top Queen-size bedsets. There are two bathrooms; one featuring a vintage claw-foot tub perfect for a warm bath, and the other a double shower. All linens are of course provided, as well as an assortment of games, jigsaw puzzles and books to enjoy. Relax or be inspired; it's up to you!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this fantastic house. The views were incredible, and we really enjoyed the wrap around porch, hot tub, fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, and that it was so comfortable for our pup as well. Right off the highway but not noisy. Super easy quick communication with the owner too. Would definitely recommend, and we would for sure stay here again!

Cosy coastal visit

I've stayed at Stephen's home before, this was my third visit. It's a great little getaway and close to so much natural beauty. it's nice to see the ocean from the deck and upper rooms. House was well equipped and while not fully modernized, it's comfortable and close to some great hiking. Dog friendly!

Our best retreat

Once again a beautiful, restful, magical stay in a wonderful house. The location near the mouth of the Navarro river is perfect for our Irish Setter to play, and Mendocino town isn't far. The hot tub on the deck adds a very special treat.

Cozy and Convenient w Coastal View

What a wonderful weekend. We came down from Oregon for a friend’s wedding in Elk, everything was perfect and Stephen’s house had everything we needed. Got to see some deer and even a baby fox on the property. Great house in a great location. Thank you!

INCREDIBLE

Such a wonderful place. We have stayed in dozens of homes, B&Bs, timeshares, hotels, etc. This was my favorite by far. I wish we could have stayed all summer. The house is immaculate. All the details are just right. The linens and towels are lovely. The kitchen ln has everything. There is a nice big washing machine. You can log-in to your streaming services, there are charging ports. The house is really beautiful, more so than the photos can represent. The bedrooms are bigger than they look in the photos as well. Very comfortable and luxurious. The main level bedroom was perfect for my dad, who doesn’t manage stairs well, and has a nice view from the french doors. The real star is the beautiful porch with hot tub. Even better on a cool day, which we were lucky to have while the rest of the country was in a heat wave. The view is gorgeous and the air smells wonderful. Take time to turn off the jets, float, and take in the trees. So nice to warm your toes by the fire in the evening when you go back inside. Of course you are close to Mendocino and the rest of the beautiful places nearby. Our hosts were so kind and accommodating, and very responsive. It was a privilege to stay in their home. If we are lucky, we can stay again for a longer visit. Thank you 😊

The perfect place to chill.

This was our second stay at this house. It’s comfortable and well stocked with lovely surroundings and a stellar view. Love the hot tub and the big comfy chairs on the deck, and the owners are responsive and quick to reply to communications. This really is the perfect spot to relax!

Just right

This home was clean and comfortable. It was well stocked with everything we needed for a couple nights' stay as we traveled up the coast. The location was a nice quiet community and we enjoyed seeing the deer, birds and foxes. We visited the nearby Albion Campground kayak and canoe rental for a beautiful quiet paddle up the Albion River.

Just a perfect spot to come and hang out with family. Very quiet, private road with a great view. Very well stocked property with all the things you could need. It was very homey, with a rustic charm. It was not cluttered, and I felt like I could just settle in here.

Absolutely Spectacular Property!

We had the best time on the Mendocino coast in this spectacular property with ocean views. The home was laid out well and spacious for our group. Everything was clean and well-kept. The property is an easy 10-minute drive from Mendocino, but you feel secluded, which adds to the relaxing feel. The hot tub was perfect and overlooked the ocean. Hosts were easy and so was check-in and check-out. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend getaway!

This was the most amazing house we have stayed at while on vacation. Everything was wonderful. The view spectacular, the house itself was well kept and cute. The owners clearly care about the guests staying in their home. They provided anything and everything you could need plus more. They even had dog supplies, how sweet is that! There is nothing bad to say about this home. Many thanks to the owners for making this an unbelievable experience!!

Dog bowls, pet bed and toys were also supplied, so thoughtful. The ocean view was so calming and beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub even though the weather was stormy. Highly recommend the property and would visit again.

What a fantastic stay!

The house was the perfect home base for the Anderson Valley White Wine Weekend. Comfy, cozy (on a wild wet weekend) and welcoming, it has a fully stocked kitchen that made cooking and dining in easy and we LOVED the hot tub with a view. Views were great overall, and the neighborhood was quiet, with more trees than people! Can’t wait for our next stay. Thanks so much for hosting us.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I have long enjoyed the Mendocino Coast and visited frequently as weekend get-aways. We were fortunate to meet many locals and eventually locate a home for sale that we fell in love with.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite feature of this vacation home is how utterly relaxing it is. Even when we visit with all intentions to accomplish work away from work, the relaxation gene kicks in unexpectedly, and all tensions or stress from our work-a-day life melt away.
