Chanticleer

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This three-bedroom Mendocino vacation rental, called Chanticleer, is a beautiful artist's retreat. There are two wrap-around decks overlooking the ocean, a vintage cone fireplace, original artwork adorning the walls, and a garden and private viewing deck nestled amongst the wooded glades.

Chanticleer is 45 miles from hiking and picnicking along 45 redwood-coved acres at Admiral Standley State Park Recreation Area. You'll be 41 miles from wine tasting at Elke Vineyards, and 37 miles from B. Ryan Animal Preserve. Russian Gulch State Park and Point Cabrillo are both about a mile away.

The stunning asymmetrical exterior of the home is surrounded by ferns and natural vegetation. Chanticleer has three levels and two separate wrap-around decks providing magnificent views over a wooded glade to a whitewater view of the Pacific Ocean. The upper level offers a bathroom, two guest rooms with queen-sized beds, and an extra sleeping space with a futon that can fold into a double bed. Each room is cozy and inviting with vintage wood paneling, and eccentric collections of artwork, seashells and decor.

The middle level of the home offers floor to ceiling windows in the posh, open-concept living room. Dive into your favorite crossword on the leather loveseat or sit down to a cup of coffee in one of two leather armchairs. An ornate red and blue rug and modern floor lamps tie the room together, while Redwood paneling makes the space feel rustic and charmingly vintage.

A cone fireplace reminiscent of the 1970s and a rack of wood punctuate the living room, inviting guests to curl up with a blanket by the fire. A wrap-around deck just off the living room offers patio chairs, making it the perfect spot for taking in the fresh sea air. When you aren't taking in the views, watch satellite TV, or pop in a DVD or VHS movie at the media center. Just off the living room is a small den with built-in bookshelves and a CD and cassette player.

The dining room is adjacent to the living room. A farm-style dining table and built in bench for six will allow you and your guests to break bread together. Quaint muffin tins and original artwork adorn the dining room shelves, and the fully-stocked kitchen offers a dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, stove, and toaster. This home also features a private washer and dryer for your convenience.

Downstairs is the master suite complete with a private bathroom, queen-sized bed, and private sitting room with a built-in desk, TV and sofa. The master suite also has a romantic private deck for midnight toasts of champagne and star gazing.

The 2,100-square-foot home is on one acre, and has room for seven guests. The outside deck leads to manicured gardens and a viewing deck up a walkway from the house, making it a favorite spot to enjoy the sunsets and watch the woodpeckers. WiFi access means you can stay alert and plugged in! And don't forget to bring your furry friends: There is a small nightly fee if you want to bring dogs.

For a day trip, drive five minutes to Mendocino and visit the Sea Glass Museum, featuring hand-crafted jewelry made from local beach glass. Order a plate of comfort food at Lumberjack's Restaurant, or take the self-guided discovery trail through untouched redwood groves at Hendy Woods State Park.

No matter how you spend your visit, this Mendocino vacation home is the perfect artist's retreat to slow down and get inspired by the beauty of nature, with all the comforts of home.

*Please note that this home's two steep staircases and the stand-alone fireplace are not well-suited for small children. Plan accordingly. Thank you!

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Bliss on the beach

Beautiful views!! The house was Mendo eclectic which is why I picked this property. Aged home yes but cute in the details. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep, however we did need more seating in the living room with the kitchen chairs. The beds were just adequate, but i do like a softer bed. The dishwasher never worked wich kinda sucked honestly because even the dishes in the cabinets were dirty & i hate washing dishes. Overall it was a great visit seeing my family that lives on the coast & I would definitely recommend this rental even with the slight inconveniences.

We loved it here! Great location and the house was perfect for the six of us who stayed there. Lots of space, great fireplace, great view of the ocean. An older place, but so full of character. We had a great time!

Holiday get-away with family

We spent a lovely Thanksgiving holiday (a little early) at this property and mainly booked it for the windows and view. The property is more like an updated cabin than the photos show, but the home was spacious and comfortable for our group of seven. The upstairs has very little insulation so sound carries very, very easily (be forewarned if you have a person who snores in your group). We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal complete with desserts in the kitchen with relative ease. The huge windows were perfect for reading and relaxing during the rainy weather. One person in our group was able to work remotely during our trip and the wifi was more than adequate to support their video conference needs. The location was great, in a quiet neighborhood close to both Mendocino and Ft. Bragg.

Beautiful views. Comfortable and welcoming home with appealing artwork throughout. Older cabin style house which shows its age and would benefit from some minor upgrades.

Beautiful, peaceful, house with ocean view

If you are looking for a tranquil, beautiful house with ocean views, this is your place. The house is close to parks, town but still in a quiet location with beautiful ocean views. My wife and me brought the whole family and the house was big enough for all of us. I cannot recommend this house enough. I can hardly wait for my next vacation in Mendocino!

House was as described in all the other reviews. The only other thing i would suggest is to bring your own hair dryer as there were none in the bathrooms. Any questions or comments were returned in a short time.

Amazing!

This is a lovely house with a spectacular view! It was clean, comfortable and the host was so friendly and interesting and accommodating. We stayed here for three nights and spent three nights further north, but we all wished we had spent the entire week here. If you arr thinking about this house, BOOK it! It is a winner!

Great location for Mendocino county trip

This lovely ocean view property was very close to both Fort Bragg ca and the town of Mendocino. The listing talks about steep stairs to all bedrooms- if you are mobility challenged may not be for you. We left our suitcases down stairs and only used upstairs for sleeping. The whole place gives off a cabin vibe which I loved. If you are looking for something fancy not for you. The art work through out is amazing and was fun to look at—overall good value for the price

My stay in Mendocino

The location and amenities were great. However, most of the mattresses were very uncomfortable which was disappointing. The living room furniture is beat up and not very comfortable, either. The internet and TV were wonderful and the kitchen had all that was needed to cook.

Beautiful location

This house was not quite as updated as the pictures show, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying every minute. We all slept very well and had plenty of pillows and blankets. It got warm during the day and cool at night, but opening windows and then using the portable heaters at night made it perfect. We had everything we needed except for a washer , which was broken at the time. I understand a new one is ordered. Thanks for a great stay!!

Visiting your Grandparents Coastal Cabin

The view, deck, indoor fireplace, time-capsule wall decor & the neighborhood are all 5-Stars. This house back in its prime must have been dynamite! A MCM frame that feels like you are inside of a senior living home with no visitors for over a decade or 3. A musty smell that the ocean air removed with open windows and doors. Not a speck of dust to be found, very clean though.Major needs: Comfortable seating, how does one have a vacation home without comfortable places to relax? Mattresses too, old box springs that made my body toss and turn for three nights straight. I’m typing this while chugging enough coffee to get me through the drive home, the early 10am checkout it really to bad too. I have redesigned this rental one hundred times in my mind while staying here. What these walls could say from its’ early years! I love it for all of its needs but be aware this is not your place to relax, glad I brought my own office chair to use at the dining table for work. Kitchen: tiny & efficient. Needs a few wooden spoons and proper stemware. Also, the smoke detector it placed so close to the oven and stove that it went off even while toasting bread & should be moved. I would happily volunteer to live here and be this sweet old home’s caretaker, it deserves one. I hope this place can be restored and lived in properly one day, it is special.

Filthy cabin

When we entered the house it was unswept, cobwebs on the baseboards, the entire house smelt of fish, the dishes all had a greasy film and all the cabinets had crumbs in them. The oven mits were filthy with dried food still on them! The house itself was ok but there was an overall feeling of unwelcomeness.

reasonable value, beautiful views, but some things to attend to

The biggest frustration was how long it took for Vacasa to get back to us. 5 hours the first time, when we couldn't find how to heat the house and were cold, and 8 hours the second time when we were requesting a later checkout. Other deficiencies included: No wine glasses, no serving bowls Lighting upstairs poor Light at lower level bathroom sink poor lighting No extra blankets upstairs Otherwise the place was adequate.

Vacasa, you’ve asked my opinion at least five times and no one responds

The water pump kept us up all night every 30 seconds to three minutes the entire time we stayed. All communication from your organization has dropped off. I cannot recommend this house we did not get any rest. It was a vacation from hell with the noise from the water pump cycling up on continuously day and night. I’d let you know about this and no one is getting back to me.

Broken

We booked this property so we could do laundry midway through our travels. Arrived to find washing machine broken and according to property management it had been broken for some time , ceiling fan - broken, dining room chair- broken leg. Couch-broken, end table broken. We ended up spending most of one of our "sightseeing " days and money in a laundromat watching the drier spin! Beautiful and peaceful setting but poorly managed and maintained. We did not come with unrealistic expectations we just expected basic things to work.

Can't afford next year

We absolutely love this house. Have stayed here 4 times. The last 2 times for 10 and 8 days taking advantage of the free day. It has become our home away from home we love the gorgeous views, the wood interior, the eclectic artwork and the perfect location. All of which made us willing to disregard the two burners that didn't work on the electric stove, the toaster that burned the toast, the cable that didn't work (granted they did give us a credit for no cable) and all the frying pans were not usable. On our last day this year when I was looking on line to book for next year saw that the price is almost double and there is no longer a free day after a 7 day stay. We can't afford the price and can't justify it with the things wrong. So sad to not be returning, we truely love this house, will miss it!
