Quiet Cabin on 5 Acres Minutes From Mendocino and Ocean
This 700 square foot cabin is located on 5 secluded acres and was designed and built entirely by the owners. The cabin includes many special touches such as open beamed ceilings milled with local redwood. The cabin has tons of natural light. A gas stove provides cozy heat and ambiance with the push of a button. There are also electric heaters in the bedroom and bathroom for additional warmth.
Enjoy a hot outdoor shower for two, an indoor claw foot bathtub and a compact yet full kitchen. The bedroom is outfitted with a Queen bed. There is also a twin bed which is perfect for kids. The bedroom is situated on the upper floor with treetop and sky views. The bathroom and main living area is below and opens to redwood deck with outdoor seating. Please note the flight of stairs between the bedroom and bathroom.
We are very kid friendly. Let us know and we will get out our trikes and cars for your child.
Jackson State Forest is our next door neighbor. There is a trail that leads from the property into the forest and we will leave you a map. Located ten minutes north of Mendocino and ten minutes south of Fort Bragg and five minutes from what we think is the best beach in the area.

Loved the house! Perfect for small family. My wife and I stayed there and we loved the trees outside and also the outdoor showers. Will definitely be visiting again soon!
This quiet and cozy setting in the forest provided a wonderfully restful experience. The cottage is well-stocked, clean and beautifully built. The furnishings are very comfortable. The owners obviously put much love and attention to every detail which makes this rental our most favorite ever. The outdoor showers were unique and fun. The location is amazing, being between Mendocino and Fort Bragg, so we could explore both areas easily. We would love to visit again.
The property is tucked away and secluded. While we didn’t directly interact with the hosts, they were gracious and attentive, providing a welcome basket of small snacks and taking care to make sure the cabin had all the amenities to facilitate a relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable and the atmosphere relaxing. The property is directly adjacent to a state park with a select variety of trails, and a short drive to the ocean and nearby towns. I highly recommend it for a cozy getaway.
Great property, super clean and secluded. Loved the time there with my wife, was surprised to see that we could ride to some amazing mountain and gravel bike trails directly from the cabin. Can’t recommend enough for hikers or bikers.
Loved our stay. The owners were very responsive & the home was perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable & we enjoyed the outdoor showers after beach time.
My 2 teen daughters and I had a wonderful time at the cabin! We had everything we needed, and the surroundings were so tranquil and relaxing. Jake is an excellent host. We saw him at check in and after that we felt like it was just us, with the comforting knowledge that our hosts were there if we needed anything. We all slept so well in the cozy beds. We loved that we could access Jackson State Forest trails from our door. The wifi was excellent and we appreciated the access to Netfilx and Amazon Prime. I already miss being there and hope to return some day!
We really loved the cottage, from the beautiful setting to the many thoughtful details inside. We had cool weather and the gas heater worked wonders. The guest book with history of this hand-built cabin was fascinating, and the owners greeted us warmly when we arrived. A perfect stay.
We had an excellent stay. The home is private, very quiet and just off the pc1 with easy access to Mendocino. Had everything we needed and more. Highly recommended.
Peaceful cottage. Very relaxing and comfortable. Our host, Jake, was very friendly and helpful with any questions and concerns that we had. No complaints and this property is highly recommended. We would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay in Caspar. Everything was as listed. The cottage was quiet, clean and well equipped. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage
The perfect option for a Mendocino trip - hope to stay again soon! The outdoor shower was a major highlight. Everything was designed with purpose. The bed was extremely comfortable.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at the cottage. Clean and quiet, amazing star-gazing. Very comfortable in all respects and great location. Not to be missed: the outdoor shower. It was early March, so I was dubious, but SO glad I got over that! The water pressure and temperature were amazing -- it was an experience that will stay in my memory for a long time, especially since my husband took pictures that will make it into our annual photo book!! That was a strategically placed rhododendron! We highly recommend this property if you want to enjoy hiking the Mendocino headlands and the redwood forests, plus eating at all of the wonderful restaurants of Mendocino area.
