What an absolute gem! Peaceful, cozy, and gorgeous, this rental makes you feel removed from the world and cared for in all the most important ways. The windows overlooking the foggy water and surrounded by trees made for an otherworldly experience... which was even MORE glorious in a hot tub! It was easy to drive up and down 1 to get to Mendocino, parks, and the coast, so we will definitely come back!

We had a really nice time staying here with our two dogs. The location is quiet, peaceful, and just a short drive to several beaches and Mendocino village. The space itself was comfortable and tidy (as long as you're ok with some surface dust and cobwebs) with a decent kitchen, space heaters, and simple, comfy furniture. The wood stove and hot tub were both in good condition and kept us warm and cozy. We'll be back!
