About this property

50+ acre Mendocino Tranquility Meadows with Ponds ~ Meadowlark House

Whether you are looking to relax, explore, or host an event, Mendocino Tranquility Meadows has it all. Picnic in the meadow along multiple ponds on this oasis and hike breathtaking trails on more than 50 acres of land. Mendocino Tranquility Meadows is perfect for your vacation, private event, wedding, family gathering, or get together with friends boasting ample outdoor space and natural beauty. Gather around the outdoor Adirondack chairs for an unforgettable evening, cook meals with loved ones, stargaze in the meadow at the expansive night sky, and relax in nature. Comfortably accommodates 5 in Meadowlark house with 3 bedrooms (see bed size breakdown below), and 1 bathroom.

Mendocino Tranquility Meadows is a historic birder's dream. Originally owned by legendary conservationist Jacques Helfer a renowned author of "99 Birds of the Mendocino Coast" and "The Natural History of Mendocino." And yet 2 miles north of the famous town of Mendocino. Numerous beaches, kayaking, bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, shopping, wine tasting….. and world class restaurants all minutes away!

Popular attractions Point Cabrillo Lighthouse & Museum, Caspar State Beach, and Russian Gulch State Park with ocean bluff trails & beach, all only a 3 minute drive away.

Meadowlark features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, full custom kitchen including hickory wood cabinets, cobalt blue sink, and tile floor. Beautiful wood furniture throughout including handsome Farmstyle dining table, mission style bed frames, comfy sofa, and hardwood floors in living area. Full bathroom with shower/tub. All windows look onto trees and nature. A total of 1 queen bed in the master bedroom, 1 double bed in middle bedroom and a twin bed in the 3rd bedroom in Meadowlark suitable for 5 people. Dwellings are farm chic, quaint and light filled with county rustic feel. Please note, we do not offer a TV. Get ready to relax and unplug! DSL wifi provided in Meadowlark.

Set off of Highway one, you can hear some highway noise outside the cottages but you cannot see the road or other houses from Meadowlark. We have one security camera facing the driveway (facing away from the house) for everyone's safety. This place is close to amenities with grocery stores, pharmacies, shops, and medical clinics close by in both Mendocino (2 miles away) and Fort Bragg (7 miles away) yet it is like staying in a private park.

We launder all sheets, linens, and towels in water above 140 degrees. For your arrival, you can be assured these linens in your vacation home have been professionally cleaned and sanitized.

Why they chose this property

In 2001, with two young kids, my wife and I found Mendocino Tranquility Meadows. This property has it all. We fell in love with the ponds, open meadow land, beautiful trees, trails and not to mention wild huckleberries. The former owner was a keystone in the community, teacher, and an avid preservationist and birder who wrote "99 Birds of the Mendocino Coast" and "The Natural History of Mendocino." And it shows. Each time a friend visits they are blown away by the treasures this property has to offer.

After giving up the office life, and much hard work rebuilding the dwellings we started our family run business to open up the natural beauty to families like you. We hope you will create memories you will never forget, like watching ducks on the pond, playing frisbee on the grass, and sipping a cup coffee with birds signing in the background. We can't wait for you to see it for yourself!
