Why the Owner Chose Mendocino
Mendocino...friendly people, great places to eat...scenic coast, abalone diving, beaches to frolic on, whales to watch...what's not to love?
The Unique Benefits at this House
Close enough to walk to town yet out of the hustle and bustle (does Mendocino have hustle and bustle?) when you want to relax. House and deck overlook a meadow...deer, woodpeckers, turkeys all come to visit the yard. Hop on a bicycle and ride miles of the Big River Trail or cruise along the scenic Headlands...stop and have a picnic on your journey! Enjoy the stars while you sit in the hot tub and listen to the ocean lullaby...
Ride from MendoMeadow to Lansing St and then follow Heeser to the ocean...Head east and visit town!!
Owner's Map of Mendocino
Happily married and happily playing together in Mendocino County! We enjoy dining out at Ledford House - sitting at the bar with our favorite bartender - as we watch the sunset, burgers at Little River Inn and great everything at Queenie's Roadhouse....my personal fav is the Reuben. Our house is often filled with family and friends who love to come visit...sometimes we aren't sure if it is our company they crave...or the gorgeous coast that brings them calling!!
