Welcome to the lovely town of Mendocino—and to the gorgeous vacation rental of your dreams! You'll be placed right within driving distance of the local hotspots, such as the Mendocino Headlands State Park, where a gorgeous hike that leads to its seaside bluffs and several beaches awaits you and your family on a beautiful day out. Slow it down and smell the roses at Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens where you'll find an assortment of beautiful flowers along a lovely walk path.

Return back to your home tucked away within the forest after a fun-filled day out on the coast and be welcomed in by the foyer's open arms. Inside, you'll find an assortment of amenities right at your fingertips, sure to set you in the mood for some much-needed relaxation. Take a quick power nap in the spacious living area, complete with comfortable furnishings and a spiral staircase that leads to the loft area. Whip up a mealtime masterpiece in the quaint kitchen area or head outside and throw some patties onto the gas grill for some classic American barbecue.

Bring your favorite book and read it out on the beautiful patio area as you take a deep breath of the fresh air and listen to the sounds of nature. Afterward, hop into a bathing suit and simmer for a while in the hot tub with some good drinks and even better company. As the night comes to a close, light the firepit and roast some marshmallows over the flame for some tasty midnight snacks.

The home was very clean and unique with this octagon shape. The only thing we would change for this property or any other properties is that we lose a whole day that we pay for by not being able to check in until 4 o’clock and we have to be checked out by 10 o’clock on the day that we leave. Other than that, the property was very close to Mendocino, but yet very isolated and relaxing.

Love the surroundings with the beautiful plants. Thank you for opening up your home to travelers. We would love to see new shower heads in the guest bathroom next time. The hand held sprayer does not stay in place, and the other shower head in guest bathroom dribbles.warm regards, Laura

Hot tub was fine, our group was just people, no pets, so can’t rate that. I had messaged the hosts several times to ask about the coffee situation, so we would be prepared with appropriate coffee and filters. Wanted to know if it were a pod (keurig or similar setup) never received a reply. Took a chance and brought regular ground coffee…which was the right move. And, since none of the three of us prefer the pod (keurig) method that was good. Sadly one of us ate some bad shellfish in town and had a really nasty digestive experience. As a result, in her weakened condition she managed to suffer a resounding bump on the noggin from the steel spiral staircase. Big lump, minor bleeding. And, as she is barely 5 feet tall, the fact that she managed to come in contact with the step is pretty amazing. Certainly not forseeable and no one on your end is at fault but adding some padding to the outside of the steps might be a good idea. All in all, a lovely and unique property. We enjoyed our stay.
The killer shell fish!

We loved our days of immense relaxation while here in this spacious and well-appointed home. It was cozy and expansive with all of its many amenities, although the cookware could really use an upgrade. Hope to be back another time!

Meno getaway

Immaculately clean, every single detail meticulously thought of. Warm & inviting, decorated with much thought. The surrounding gardens were peaceful and quite beautiful. Our visit was capped off with a huge fox that watched us from outdoors. The property was so close to the town of Mendocino yet tucked away off the beaten path and very private. We loved our stay and very much hope to return.

Lovely, well appointed home and beautiful grounds; quiet, peaceful, yet an easy five minute drive into the postcard village of Mendocino with smoke cages and a great market and - the gorgeous Headlands trail along bluff AC over the ocean.

Great house! Very spacious and has everything you could ever need! The only feedback is the downside to a late check-in and early check-out. Didn’t feel like we got a whole weekend worth the price. Overall, a wonderful vrbo!
