Well, thought out accommodations

The house is well organized for guests and it is a close drive to Mendocino. The owners are quick to respond to messages and our family enjoyed this cute house. The hot tub was an extra bonus for the winter weekend.

Perfect location and comfortable accommodations!

We loved our stay at Forest Oasis! The house is well stocked with a lot of thought. Appreciated the special touches like covers for pets for the couches, extra supplies, ample towels, kitchen well set up, and the outdoor extras like the hammock, hot tub and sitting area. The location was perfect and close to plenty of trailheads, kayaking and getting in to town. It was the perfect getaway in a beautiful setting for our family. Thank you!

Cozy cabin in the woods

We were so cozy in Brian and Lenie's cottage. The house was clean and well appointed. I made sure to note the brand of shampoo I liked it so much! The house is very close to the town of Mendocino as well as Van Damme State Park. Every coastal cottage needs a hot tub and Brian and Lenie's was perfect after a day at the beach. Thank you for sharing your cute cottage with us!

The house was very clean and nicely decorated inside, just like the pictures online. It was well stocked with basic needs. Check in was incredibly easy and so was communication with the hosts. My bed was so comfortable! I loved having the forest in the back yard and being able to have my dog with me. If you do take your dog, just a heads up to be sure you keep them on a leash because there is no fence for the backyard to keep them contained if they’re prone to wonder. There is a forest trail, but I didn’t get to explore the whole way down to the creek. You will have neighbors on both sides of the house, but I never had any encounters or issues. The area is incredibly peaceful and quiet besides the sound of the occasional traffic that comes through. I was having such a great time I wanted to extend my stay, but couldn’t because they already had someone else coming the day I was leaving. I would definitely come back again!

Coastal retreat meets wooded oasis

Wonderful stay for a family getaway! Perfectly located amongst the redwoods but a quick drive to the beach, the house had so many great amenities and Brian was attentive throughout our stay. The house was clean and cozy with an ideal layout for spending time together in the kitchen, living, dining area.

Amazing Forest Getaway!

The property was immaculate and the looked just as it did in the photos. A gorgeous redwood backdrop and lush forest setting. The home was beautifully decorated. Tastefully appointed rooms and a wonderful layout with every thoughtful detail and amenity included. We had a wonderful time and plan to return. The owner Brian was super accommodating and reachable, we were so pleased with our stay. We highly recommend it!
