Epic memories & views! Swimming pool, chefs kitchen, sleeps 14
SOL ESTATE ** Forest Magic, Cozy Comforts, Epic Memories ** is more than a tagline—it's the heartbeat of this 4-bedroom plus loft retreat that sleeps 10-14. Nestled in the Mendocino mountains, the home blends mountain serenity with elevated gathering spaces. Step outside to a shimmering swimming pool under wide-open skies, where amazing starlight erupts from the inky universe. Breathe in peaceful nature, listen to the forest whispers, and feel the ocean just 12 miles away as tides hum in the distance. It’s a place for epic fun with family and friends, balanced by tranquil moments of stillness, breath, and awe. • Family friendly – highchair, pack n play available when asked for • Three indoor fireplaces (one open, two wood burning stoves) • Firewood for your use • Fully stocked kitchen with three ovens, two refrigerators and a bar with sink and ice maker • Coffee Bar • Popcorn Bar • Beautiful Redwood walls in the living spaces • Three big screen smart TV’s • 4 private bedrooms and a loft sleeping 10, living room with 4 twin day beds • 50ft long swimming pool with diving board and slide • Outside seating, dining, BBQ and firepit • Downstairs game room with air hockey, foosball, xbox, and darts This home is perfect for gatherings, and we can't wait to share our final vision with you! While it remains a work in progress, the shared spaces and bedrooms are ready to go. The Master bathroom and pool house are closed for renovations. For now, please enjoy the home and outdoors with hot tub, swimming pool, and deck space while you envision the perfect summer party in our (one day) finished space, with a big screen at the pool bar, cocktails under the sun and family playing in the pool. Please know that the area is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, bears, mountain lions, bats, foxes, and an assortment of smaller critters. Most wildlife avoids people, and sightings are usually brief and peaceful. While we do our best to keep the home critter-free, occasional visits by insects or small animals can occur. Do not leave food or garbage outside. Keep an eye out for cool animals like the spotted skunk or long tail cat! _________________________________________

Our men’s group thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Branscomb. Our host, Tiffany, was generous and responsive with her communication, making the entire trip smooth and easy. We loved the peace and quiet of the forest. The pool was clean and ready for us, and the hot tub provided the perfect place to relax—both in the morning and at the end of the day.We enjoyed the property so much that we’re already planning to return for our annual retreat. It would also be an ideal setting for a peaceful couples’ weekend. We’re grateful for Tiffany’s hospitality and look forward to staying again.
The host, Tiffany, was awesome. She answered questions quickly and thoroughly and gave good suggestions. She never made me feel like a question was out of line or an issue was petty. The property is beautiful, large and has great potential. It fit 10 women comfortably and had many large meeting areas that served our purposes well. The beds were all very comfortable and most rooms had fans or access to fans for the hot evenings. The home would be a great place for a family or two gathering as well. There were 2 fridges which were perfect for our large group of ladies and 3 ovens but we only used one. The dishwasher worked well and the kitchen didn't lack anything that we needed. The pool was amazing! The water temp was actually quite perfect warmed by the sun: Not too hot nor too cold and we were able to lounge in the pool for long periods of time in the afternoons. Hot tub was enjoyed as well with plenty of beach towels. The loft area was quite hot during the day because of the sky light and large south facing window but it did cool off at night. The only negative for us was that it is still being renovated: One bathroom out of commission and workers? food was left in the fridges with some debris, and the pool house was also out of commission. All things considered we would definitely stay again as a group. We found great hikes within 10 min drive as well!
