A perfect place to reintegrate slowly after a week of music, dance, community, and late nights in the redwoods!Inspiring views of the coast, relaxing hot tub, quiet, and a gift of sparkling rose. The host is very responsive, and easy to deal with. Perfect!

Definitely a million dollar view! Very private and quiet, comfortable bed and furnishings. Cozy, romantic, eclectic. Some deferred maintenance. The kitchen is workable but the cookware needs updating. Recommend!

Relaxing and recharging trip!

The property known as "Desire" has the perfect location for everything you'd like to do in the Mendocino area. It's very easy to find and has a view that is out-of-this-world! Desire is quiet and comfortable and perfect for two! Traveling in June, it was a little chilly to sit on the deck, but perfect for the hot tub. We had a great vacation! Thank you!

Quiet getaway

This was a perfect quiet getaway for a few days. A short drive to Mendocino and anything else along the coast. The house was quaint and perfect for a short stay.

Superb overlook

This was the perfect post Mendocino Woodlands camp experience! It had a fantastic view of the coast from the porch. With a hot tub, and very comfortable bed, and a very convenient location for beaches and hiking, this was a superb place to stay.
