Beautiful Property!

We loved the private beach and the tide pools. The owners supplied the wood for our bond fire, and also for the fire pit located by the hot tub. We couldn't get enough of exploring with all of the pretty flowers and statues, there was something to see at every point. Love Love Love, would go back again.

Mother's Day weekend 2024

We spent four days with our kids, granddaughter, mother in law and two dogs. It's a breathe taking property House has tons of space for everyone. And your own private beach perfect for treasure hunting and a big driftwood fire. Trevor was quick to respond to my messages and very helpful when needed. It was the perfect Mother's Day weekend.

Beautiful property, enjoyed the well kept grounds and spectacular view

Our family of 7 and our little Pomeranian Zorba had a memorable Thanksgiving at Holly’s Meadow. Close to everything. We enjoyed relaxing on the sun room where mom stayed and I especially loved the gas fire place in one of the Master bedroom. Perfect property for a big venue

Great family time

We had a wonderful time. The property has great energy. The house is large enough everyone could have their space. I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and eating dinner with a view of the coast. The kids enjoyed a bonfire at the cove with hotdogs and s'mores. We will return

Fort Bragg with friends

All of us completely enjoyed our stay at your house. I loved the second master bedroom with the magnificent view. A few fished at the cove and one caught a fish. Loved being able to find sea glass on the beach. The house had everything we could want and we plan on returning.

The Best Family Trip!

We had the most amazing time on our annual family trip. Finding a place to host all of the grown kids under one roof with all the boxes checked is not easy. Holly's beautiful property definitely had all our boxes checked and more! Holly was very responsive with suggestions and recommendations for everything we asked. Andrea was phenomenal and was available for anything that we needed. We will for sure be back!

Fabulous

Our all adult, eight member family had a wonderful few days. The house is a rambler so it was easy to find a quiet corner if needed. The kitchen is large and dining table accommodated us nicely. The property is fabulous. The private beach is rugged and perfect for a rock scramble or a fire and a smore. There is a plenty of outdoor seating in the beautiful gardens complete with a blooming Lilly pond. We wish we had stayed longer.

Beautiful location on the ocean. Very spacious and clean, with comfortable beds.

Holly, the owner, was very friendly and responsive, communicating by e-mail since she was away. The caregiver, Charlotte, was amazing. Although she was within arms' reach on the property, she checked in to make sure all was well, yet respected our privacy. The property is conveniently located between Ft. Bragg and Mendocino. We cooked Thanksgiving there and found a number of kitchen items to be missing or in poor condition. The house was spotless and the beds comfy.

Amazing views

This property is out of a movie! There is this huge yard that leads to the edge of the cliff where you can watch the waves roll in, or follow the path to the beach. We saw wild life including fox, deer, jack rabbits and all kinds of birds. Trevor was super helpful and welcoming from showing me around the property to recommending places to eat. Relaxing in the hot tub was enhanced by the frogs singing to us!:) Drive into Mendecino a short 5 minutes and Fort Bragg even closer. Easy arrival right off of 128 onto 1. We hope for an opportunity to go back.

Awestruck

Trevor was there to welcome us on the front porch, waving...very welcoming. A brief tour and a little history quickly acquainted us with the property. This was the most welcomed we've ever felt, like we were visiting an old friend's ocean front getaway. The house was unique as were the many interesting globally acquired artifacts. The layout of the house commanded relaxation. The grounds, the views, the gardens all begged for exploration and pure enjoyment. Given the chance to stay here again, we would without hesitation. Thank you Holly and Trevor for a wonderful family getaway.

Time To Reconnect

When I booked the location, I told my family that I really hoped the place lived up to the photos - the photos did not do it justice...the property is spectacular! My family were in Fort Bragg for a celebration of lives, my father who recently passed and step-mother who had passed 22 years ago. In that time, the family had drifted apart, so we weren't sure how we'd all be getting together again. The house was a gathering location before we headed out for the scattering of ashes, and then returned for dinner. The home easily accommodated 15 for dinner and 10 sleeping at the home but the best feature is the vast property. Beautifully landscaped, view of ocean, fire pit/bbq/jacuzzi area that is secluded yet only a short distance from the home, and beach access that is a bit of a hike but worth it. Happy to find bbq supplies provided along with wood for fire pit. Although our family was in Fort Bragg to fulfill the wishes of our dearly departed, we were able to reconnect in a serene environment that has given us memories to last a lifetime.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Kuchar

Host profile image
I have been part of the community for over 50 years. I am retired , I travel the world . I raised my children on this very special property. The artwork on the fences was created by wonderful husband. My goal is to provide a place where you reconnect with yourself and others.

Why they chose this property

This property is magical. This property is the first place I slept when I came to Fort Bragg 45 years ago, but I did not own it for 5 years. There has been a child born here, a sweat lodge at the beach, family reunions, my company 's parties and numerous weddings. It is constantly recharged with love and joy. I view myself as a guardian with a sincere desire to share the property with others and one hand it down to my grandchildren.

What makes this property unique

The property is near town and off Highway 1. It borders the Mendocino Botanical Gardens on the North and accessed by a private lane. There are 4 ponds, an ocean meadow, bluffs and a private cove with a year round stream. Lots of wildlife. There is diving and rock fishing. Bonfires at beach. Walk to the point for sunsets, play in the meadow, enjoy all the property has to offer.
