We had a really wonderful stay at the Zendo. Exactly what we needed at the tail end of our 3 week cross country trip. Waking up amongst the Redwoods was amazing and the town of Mendocino is really special. The cabin itself was magical and we would love to stay there again.

Lovely, quiet home.

Located about 5-10 minutes from the main town of Mendocino. This is an excellent place for a quiet getaway and still close enough to go to town or the ocean. Definitely would stay again when visiting the area.

Magical stay

It was an amazing stay. Debbie was wonderful and it is such a great stay. Comfy bed; great kitchen. Nice touches all around including coffee and treats for the surrounding community. Can’t say enough good things.

This place was magical. The moment I stepped out of the car I was transformed to a sense of tranquility and peace. It was rainy for half our stay and I think that made it even better hearing and seeing the sounds of nature. I see why the Zendo gets a 10/10 rating.

Unique and Secluded Getaway

This a beautiful rental, full of rustic charm while still having access to all the amenities you might need. We cannot say enough how gorgeous, serene, and unique the space is. It is also a short drive to lots of great restaurants and places to explore.

We were looking for a peaceful spot in the redwoods, close enough to town, but far enough away to feel we were in the middle of a forest and MendoZendo delivered in so many ways! A stay here is a step back in time, where the trees whisper assurances of mindfulness, as you are in awe of the beauty of the nature that surrounds you. Cozy fires at night, a beautiful, resourceful kitchen to prep your meals, a bathtub that looks into the tops of comforting trees, a bedroom with a feel of a magical treehouse. After a week's stay, we are feeling extremely rested and rejuvenated - we truly did not want to leave.

This property provided just the peaceful retreat we were looking for. We had just enough space for our family of four (with younger children… families with older children or teens may want a little more separation). The hosts thought of everything, including instructions and bedding to accommodate 4-legged family members. We enjoyed short hikes straight from the cabin, and the proximity to other wonderful trailheads was convenient as well. The Zendo was well stocked for us to enjoy quiet game nights in after cooking dinner in house, but the short drive to town also allowed us to eat out when we wanted too. We were perfectly immersed in nature and we loved our stay.

The Zendo is great

If you're looking for a charming rustic and quiet place in the woods, this is it. Comes with a nicely equipped kitchen and really comfortable bed. Also liked the elevated meditation room next door - peaceful place to unwind and watch the sunset. We really enjoyed our stay here.

A Five Star experience!

This place wrapped around our souls on a chilly January week and comforted us with its woodstove, cozy bedding/bedroom, beautiful art, skylights, woods everywhere, and so many thoughtful inclusions. We will cherish this trip and hope to come back.

Redwood Haven

We loved this amazing cabin nestled in redwoods. Waking up to the beautiful view and relaxing with a wood stove fire in the evenings after hiking and paddling the Big River. Hosts are great and very responsive. The bed was comfy and kitchen had everything we needed. Wonderful place to get away .
