Beautiful home nestled in the redwoods in Mendocino. Very spacious backyard with two inviting decks and numerous fruit trees. Our dog Louka was in puppy heaven with space to run and endless new smells. Also enjoyed our walks through Mendocino and along the spectacular coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Cozy little house nestled in the woods. Far enough and close enough to Mendocino, a perfect little get away for the weekend. Perfect place for dog owners, our pup oved the yard.
Lovely farmhouse, immaculately clean and comfortable. It was a rainy weekend, so we stayed inside a lot, and it was very pleasant. Great location, about 7 min drive to town. Birds singing outside, peaceful. Beautiful garden. Patrick is an attentive and thoughtful host.
We loved our stay at the farmhouse! The fenced in yard was perfect for our kids and dog to run around and play! On the days it was rainy, there were board games and movies available to use. The kitchen was well stocked and the whole house felt clean and comfortable! We spent a lot of time relaxing on the back porch enjoying the beautiful property!
We had a great time during our stay at the farmhouse! We played badminton and Cornhole and enjoyed lots of reading hours in the gorgeous backyard. The house is comfy and cozy and is a short drive to town and beaches - this home away from home was perfect for our little family!
This property was so perfect. We spent hours tanning and lounging on the patio. There was a nice looking BBQ, good seating and furniture outside as well. we saw deer, frogs, slugs and the cat in the yard :) The only thing we would mention is that there were a considerable amount of spiders around the house which is entirely understandable because it is an older house and many of the windows don't have screens. Other than the spiders (that caused us no real harm) the house was perfectly clean and was stocked with an abundant amount of linens (beach towels, bathroom towels, sheets, etc). The third bedroom is very small and is attached to the laundry room, it would be good for a child (or two) but may be a battle if there were say three adults picking rooms. The kitchen is nice and spacious and had all the necessary pots and pans to cook with. I was also so impressed by all the cleaning products they had in the house as well as bug spray (not the stuff for your body) which came in handy for said spiders. The living room was great and the TV worked well. There is of course just the one bathroom, we were just 2 people so it wasn't a big deal sharing but might be if you had 3 people staying here. The bathroom itself was very open and spacious with nice natural lighting and a view of the yard and trees. The shower is a little small but really no big deal and the shower-head was nice, not like those hotel ones that spray every direction. The beds and full size fridge were great too!
The house was very charming and was like going to a grandparents house. Very clean, had all the dishes we could ever need, coffee there for us, pack and play for the baby. Beautiful gardens around the house. Just wish it wasn’t raining so we could have explored the property more.
The farmhouse was perfect for two of us and our two generously sized dogs. Great fenced yard, great kitchen, great living room with room for everyone, and a lovely bathroom. Very generously stocked with towels, toilet paper and enough dishes for 100 people. This is one place we would love to come back to. Also, nicely located very near Big River beach and trail.
This property was even better than the description. Property offers a quiet peaceful retreat just inland from Mendocino and associated beach and headland access. Rustic, and restful with a crow’s foot soaking tub and many retro amenities, right down to the 1950’s Electrolux vacuum with a retractable cord. Plenty to do on a rainy day too, with numerous puzzles, games and interesting reads. The yard was amazing, fenced and thoughtfully laid out. Quite simply wonderful, we’ll be returning again.
This is such a lovely house and while the bedrooms aren't huge we felt like the whole house ended up being even better than expected! The bathroom was wonderful and the kitchen was well-stocked. My kids loved the yard and having a fenced yard for the kids and dogs was wonderful. We had many friends ask for the booking info while we were there based on my pictures and I was tempted to tell them they could have it only if they brought me back with them!
This property is sweet, cozy, private, with plenty of fenced yard for my dogs to run free. The gardens were just coming to life while I was there. I immediately felt at home in the simple cottage and settled in for my stay with no fuss, able to breathe and contemplate. I will come back here when I can and highly recommend it.
Quaint and charming home with very large securely fenced yard which was perfect for our dogs. Fun yard for humans too with volleyball or badminton. Bring bug spray ad the mosquitos were a bit heavy in mid May. We lived this home and would stay again.
Nice clean and cozy place to accommodate family.
Very complete kitchen, however adding an authority will be perfect
Fast reply if you have question.
Thank you.
Nice cozy cottage. Great yard for dogs. Quiet spot outside of Mendocino, but quick and easy to drive into town or down to the beach. Responsive owner. Enjoyed our stay.
Probably the best VRBO we have stayed in. Perfect for
Fur babies. Lots of special
Touches - air purifiers, dehumidifiers, herbs in shower, games. And chickens!
After first reading all t he reviews of this property I can honestly say they were all "spot on." The only downside.for us was the long, long drive from SoCal...but well worth it indeed!
House was great, pretty much anything you needed was there. Large space for the dog to run outdoor deck was nice to bbq and hang with the family! Highly recommended!
