Garden lovers and romantics alike will especially enjoy this charming cottage that has the best of both worlds - views of the ocean and a garden setting. Enjoy a romantic breakfast or lunch in the secluded, North Coast garden surrounded by flowers and tall trees that are protected from the cold winds on the bluffs. Soak in our Japanese cedar hot tub in the same private setting to the sound of the little rushing stream and waterfall in the gulch below. Our deck is perfect for basking in the sun during the day or stargazing at night.
The house is light and bright with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and French door looking on the garden. Enjoy evening warmth by the Finnish wood-burning stove in this cozy home with a open kitchen perfect for entertaining with friends. There is also an antique carved, piano or satellite TV for evening enjoyment. The romantic Master bed is filled with down comforters and flowing, sheer curtains. Wake up to the view of the ocean framed by the coastal forest. The master bathtub is spacious and also has a view to the ocean.
The house is just a few minutes walk from Russian Gulch State Park and the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, both treasures of the North Coast with wildflowers, views of Mendocino Village and a blowhole. The Point Cabrillo Lighthouse and Marine Reserve has acres of pristine ocean front trails and deserted beaches that are perfect for a romantic picnic. Walk a bit further or bike to Casper Beach, a perfect place for surfing or kayaking, or to Russia Gulch State Park with its spectacular 30-foot waterfall and miles of mountain bike trails through the redwood forest.
The house is just five minutes drive north from the quaint Victorian village of Mendocino where there is excellent hiking on the headlands and shopping. Summers are always filled with events such as festivals, symphonies, and theater.
