The cabin was comfortable and cozy. We had a nice fire with wood supplied b the owners. We did have some problems with the pilot on the heater but the fire kept us nice and warm. Ronald was quick to respond to our pilot issue and made sure we were well supplied with wood. It was so quiet and serene. Very enjoyable!

Ronald and Deborah are excellent hosts. They have a beautiful remote forest property that's only a few minutes from town, and the cottage is delightful. It is very well appointed and was spotless when we arrived. The bed is comfy, kitchen well-stocked, and there is a really sweet bay window seat in the living room. The outdoor spaces are peaceful and quiet, it's lovely to sit out on the deck and just read. It's also quite dog friendly, the road is off the main road and it's a great place to walk a dog. I would highly recommend anyone staying in Mendocino to choose this spot, it's well worth it. Thanks for a great stay Ronald and Deborah!

Beautiful, very well maintained property. Could not be more perfect for a stay in the Mendocino area. Convenient to town but far enough away for total silence. Cooked almost every day and had a washer dryer so we didn’t have to pack as much. Very comfortable and peaceful.

Cozy Cabin in the Redwoods

The cabin is in a beautiful redwood forest, yet it's only 4 miles from the town of Mendocino. It has multiple skylights and picture windows that provide amazing views of the forest and keep the place bright. It is immaculate with a well stocked kitchen and a very comfortable bed!

Great stay near Mendo

Excellent property in the redwoods. Nice and secluded but short jaunt into Mendocino. Very clean with all the amenities you would want. We enjoyed the fireplace on a cool rainy evening. Would stay in same place if we are in the area. Hosts were excellent in alerting us to temporary road closures due to weather.

Mendocino Cottage Review

My wife and I had a wonderful 1 week stay. This was our 5th 1 week stay here. We just love being in the redwoods and enjoying their beauty. It is so peaceful and quiet. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need. It's located about 5 miles from Mendocino. We highly recommend it!
