About this property

Little River Retreat: Fireplace & Dog Friendly

Summary:

Little River Redwoods



The Space:

Spaciously laid out, this cabin-style home is designed for elbow room. Everyone can help make morning waffles in the spacious, fully equipped kitchen. The centrally-located living room is perfect for game nights, especially if there's a fire going in the wood-burning fireplace. Outside, explore the deck and picnic area set up around by the private gas grill. The hot tub is private and towels are provided! Younger guests will love the fairy ring and fun places to play within the woods. When it's time to turn in, guests can pick out a bedroom with a skylight or a bonus futon.



The surrounding trees may make guests feel like they're staying in their own forest - and they're not far off! Van Damme State Park is within two miles of the home - enter at the official Van Damme State Park Campground just over one-and-a-half miles away. Try a game of Redwoods Bingo! For guests seeking a different kind of green, Little River Golf Course offers nine holes of fun just one-and-a-half miles away.

Very comfortable house. Perfect for grown kids and our 2 grandchildren. It was nice to warm up in the hot tub after a day of the shops and enjoying the cool coastal weather!

Deep in the woods was a beautiful cabin…

We loved our time at this magical cabin in the Mendocino Redwoods… SO beautiful! We had everything we needed and our bed was comfy! The woods were spectacular! We enjoyed using the high quality kitchen and sitting in the lovely living area with the fireplace and tv. The furnishings were so beautiful! Mendocino was close by too. Would definitely return to this lovely place.

Great for couples traveling together

It’s hard to find houses that have three bedrooms with large beds for couples. This one is great for 3 couples traveling together. It also set among beautiful redwood trees.

Comfy, atmospheric getaway

My family of 7 cannot speak more highly of our experience at this Little River home. We arrived to find it clean, tidy, and just as advertised. Being nestled in the Redwoods gave us all a sense of comfort, belonging, and a fair amount of wonder. Oh and we all loved looking for banana slugs! Our stay was truly memorable.

We love this house!!!

My adult daughters and I did a mother-daughter weekend (along with my toddler grandson!) at this absolutely lovely and very, very comfortable home. Everything about this place is special - the furnishings are charming, the architecture is spacious, and the little fairy garden is magical.

Great place to stay!

We had a very relaxing time here. Our family stayed here - 2 adults, 2 kids. Plenty of space, the house and property are both beautiful. We loved the redwoods out the front door! Good location, lots of hiking nearby. About 8-10 min drive to downtown Mendocino.

Mendocino cabin

Property just as described. Our family had a wonderful, relaxing vacation in Mendocino. Located close to town and surrounded by state parks and hiking trails. Would love to return in the future.

Big, beautiful, restful house

The house is quite large, very well equipped and in a quiet and lovely redwood forest a short drive from the ocean, state parks and the charms of Mendocino village. We (especially the kids) enjoyed soaking in the hot tub after a day of hiking or playing on the beach. The house was well maintained and spotless, and the listing agent (Vacasa) was easy to reach by phone when we had a question. We're hoping we can return here again next year.

Beautiful trees and nice hot tub

This is a nice luxurious cabin to base out of to explore the Mendocino coast. We had a great time using the hot tub. The trees in the property are very big and old. Property manager was great and gave us an early check in as well.

Perfect stay

Such a comfortable, beautiful home! We loved every minute! Lucy was fabulous to work with and so accommodating! The location is so close to all the nature attractions and center of town, but away from it all too with total privacy. Don’t miss an opportunity to dine at Wild Fish about a mile away! It was exquisite!

Beautiful house in the redwoods

Gorgeous, spacious cabin. It was really clean and well stocked. Games and movies were available, and the kitchen had everything you could need. Hot tub was so relaxing at the end of the day. The location was close to Mendocino, beaches and Fort Bragg. WiFi was decent, very spotty cell reception unless we were actually in town so be prepared for that. All in all a fantastic stay!

Lovely stay in Mendocino County!

We loved staying at this home, and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. And for that reason, we hope to visit again :-) The home has a stocked kitchen with everything you might need to cook a meal at home and there is a grocery store not more than 10 minutes away. The hot tub was nice after long days of exploring. And the kids enjoyed cozying up by the fire to watch movies at night. Thanks for a great stay!

Private, spacious, beautiful setting, and great location

This was a great home for our trip to the Mendocino area! The bedrooms, kitchen, living room, etc., all have great space to relax and enjoy the beautiful views out every window of the home. The ceilings and woodwork on the windows are a work of art. We really enjoyed the bbq, spa, and large kitchen. The house was clean and welcoming. We especially loved the fireplace to build a warm fire at the end of day after exploring all the beautiful beaches in the area. Thank you for sharing you home Lucy!

Nice and comfortable

The house is very nice, my whole family enjoyed their stay. Of all the VRBO homes we have stayed at, this has the best stocked kitchen. My only gripe, is that the house is right off the road and you can hear every care that goes by. Don't let that one thing turn you off, I'm just very picky when it comes to noise.

Beautiful, spacious and comfortable property in the woods

We stayed with two kids (11 and 17) and five adults. We found the cabin very spacious, and accommodating. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable, and there was a "place" for everyone. The inside is furnished gorgeous classic Mission-style furniture. While the location seems isolated it's really not, with just a short drive to the main road Shoreline Hwy . There's a convenience store located a quarter mile drive away, but for major shopping you'd probably have to go to Fort Bragg 20-25 minutes up the road. We really enjoyed our stay, and wished we could have spent more time there.

Fabulous Home In Little River Home

The four of us really, really enjoyed our stay at the Little River Redwoods home. We loved being surrounded by forest in a very, very quiet location that was only about a mile from the main highway into Mendocino. The home was so comfortable and very nicely appointed. The windows, the wood walls and ceilings and the skylights were just incredible to enjoy at all times. And the hot tub was fantastic. We also enjoyed sitting around the dining room table enjoying a great dinner and playing games. This is definitely a home that we will return to on our next visit to the Mendocino area providing that it is available.
