The Desire Cabin was perfect to unwind in after a week in the Redwoods! Quiet, with a lovely view of the coast, and birds circling the thermals just above us. The hot tub, laundry, and kitchen were great. The furnace cut out, but the owner was on it and got his handyman out to fix it on the 4th of July weekend. Great response. Close to Mendocino and Ft. Bragg, and the Albion Market is just a few minutes away for last minute supplies.

We loved the cliffside retreat that the Desire Cabin provided! Thank you so much for allowing us to participate in this little piece of paradise! We absolutely will be wanting to return in the future. The ambience, the views from every room were a treat. We were a little concerned that the hot tub may have needed additional water or maintenance, so we chose to enjoy the views in other capacities without indulging in using the hot tub this trip. We very much appreciated the coffee bar and the Adirondack chairs facing the sea no matter what time of day! The cabin is very peaceful and very serene. It was just what we needed! Thanks again for the hospitality!

Incredible value for what you get. Hot tub, ocean view and the perfect amount of space for a party of two. Some signs of wear/damage here and there, but nothing that would've negatively impacted the stay.

Great location and very cozy! Well appointed kitchen - cabin really has all one could need. The intensity of the coastal weather clearly has its effect - doors and windows could use some TLC but otherwise a lovely stay. Thank you!

This is a delightful little cabin on the wind-swept cliffs of the Mendocino coast. We loved stargazing from the hot tub and listening to the rain and gulls from the loft bedroom's skylights. The property itself is maintained well for how remote the area is, but be mindful of accessibility needs before booking (high deck, steep spiral staircase, step-in stone shower, etc.). Would recommend over the local spas/retreats if youre seeking privacy and a romantic, homey feel. Thanks for having us!

We had an amazing time at Desire. The view is gorgeous, and the house was perfect for our stay. We appreciated having a full kitchen and refrigerator. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic and the hot tub was nice and hot. You can tell the host thinks about their guests, and what they may need. We cannot wait to return!

This was a great place in every respect. The house itself is well designed and comfortable. This furnished as if people actually live there. Location is the best ever. Near Mendocino, but still away from crowds. The views are spectacular. We particularly loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the sunrise. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, and the host was also extremely helpful and accommodating. Altogether, probably the nicest rental property I’ve ever stayed at.
