The property exceeded all expectations. Kitchen was well stocked, home exceptionally clean and location between all attractions in the area was central. Great host!
This home was wonderful and very nicely appointed. The location was perfect for those wishing to see the Mendocino and Ft. Bragg areas.
We loved it and would absolutely stay here again!
You don't really get the converted dance studio part until you are in the space dancing in front of the fully mirrored wall :) Really cute and unique place that's nicely appointed.
The place was great! The dance studio was spacious, lots of places to relax, and well outfitted! We enjoyed the peace, quiet, and the stars at night. Half way between mendo and fort Bragg made life easy and there are plenty of things to do! The host was awesome too!
This home is just as it was described and we were so happy to spend time here. Since it was once a dance studio, the rooms are very spacious and filled with light. This home was immaculate, yet we felt so at home with so many comfy sofas, pillows, and blankets. There are books, games, and a large screen TV. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed was very comfortable. Lots of room, places to relax, and tranquility. We would stay there again.
Converted the dance studio was a very cool and unique stay. My partner and I and our dog had a great time exploring all of the neighboring towns- everything was 6-15minutes away. It was a perfect weekend getaway.
Only one watch out- if you like to sleep in pitch black just be mindful that the main bedroom only has a 3/4 high wall and there is a sunlight in the roof so it will be light in the morning. We didn’t mind, but the host did thoughtfully provide eye masks if needed.
We managed to escape the heat of our hometown to the Mendocino Coast for 5 days. The weather was so nice- sunny with a cool breeze.
The property is as described. It’s a spacious converted dance studio. It’s a very quiet and secluded location- about 3 miles inland from the ocean. It’s in a very wooded area. So if you are seeking a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle then this is the place. Minimal kitchen space and equipment- so ok for easy, simple meals.
Lauren is a fairly new host and a fabulous one. The Dance Studio (at least it used to be) is a large accommodation with a master bedroom, large den/dining room, office space with great Internet, a fully stocked kitchen and 2 bathrooms. One with a shower and one with a toilet and sink. What a luxury! There were two of us staying for two weeks and the large space was very much appreciated. The host was not available when we arrived, but the electronic lock system worked without a hitch. The next day she stopped by and introduced us to the property. It is located in Caspar which is between Mendocino Village and Fort Bragg. The setting is private and spacious with outdoor furniture and barbecue. The indoors is thoughtfully decorated with upscale furniture and decorations. Way beyond what we have gotten used to. The host took the time to create an introduction notebook which had many recommendations that we used and were spot on. Lauren is a great communicator and was always willing to provide advice and recommendations. We loved her taste in all matters. Caspar is a small community, but an active one. Don’t miss the Good Bones restaurant, Tuesday yoga and the 4th Sunday breakfast. It was a great stay and wonderful for a longer holiday. We would definitely come back again.
