About this property

Little River Retreat- Dog Friendly with Grill

Summary:

Little River Redwoods



The Space:

Spaciously laid out, this cabin-style home is designed for elbow room. Everyone can help make morning waffles in the spacious, fully equipped kitchen. The centrally-located living room is perfect for game nights, especially if there's a fire going in the wood-burning fireplace. Outside, explore the deck and picnic area set up around by the private gas grill. The hot tub is private and towels are provided! Younger guests will love the fairy ring and fun places to play within the woods. When it's time to turn in, guests can pick out a bedroom with a skylight or a bonus futon.



The surrounding trees may make guests feel like they're staying in their own forest - and they're not far off! Van Damme State Park is within two miles of the home - enter at the official Van Damme State Park Campground just over one-and-a-half miles away. Try a game of Redwoods Bingo! For guests seeking a different kind of green, Little River Golf Course offers nine holes of fun just one-and-a-half miles away.

Very comfortable house. Perfect for grown kids and our 2 grandchildren. It was nice to warm up in the hot tub after a day of the shops and enjoying the cool coastal weather!

Deep in the woods was a beautiful cabin…

We loved our time at this magical cabin in the Mendocino Redwoods… SO beautiful! We had everything we needed and our bed was comfy! The woods were spectacular! We enjoyed using the high quality kitchen and sitting in the lovely living area with the fireplace and tv. The furnishings were so beautiful! Mendocino was close by too. Would definitely return to this lovely place.

Comfy, atmospheric getaway

My family of 7 cannot speak more highly of our experience at this Little River home. We arrived to find it clean, tidy, and just as advertised. Being nestled in the Redwoods gave us all a sense of comfort, belonging, and a fair amount of wonder. Oh and we all loved looking for banana slugs! Our stay was truly memorable.

Great for couples traveling together

It’s hard to find houses that have three bedrooms with large beds for couples. This one is great for 3 couples traveling together. It also set among beautiful redwood trees.

We love this house!!!

My adult daughters and I did a mother-daughter weekend (along with my toddler grandson!) at this absolutely lovely and very, very comfortable home. Everything about this place is special - the furnishings are charming, the architecture is spacious, and the little fairy garden is magical.

Perfect Family Getaway!

It was so nice to get away and reconnect as a family In this perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed the home, especially the hot tub, well stocked kitchen and comfy beds. The property was beautiful and felt very far away from home. We love the area and hope to have a chance to visit again!

Great place to stay!

We had a very relaxing time here. Our family stayed here - 2 adults, 2 kids. Plenty of space, the house and property are both beautiful. We loved the redwoods out the front door! Good location, lots of hiking nearby. About 8-10 min drive to downtown Mendocino.

Beautiful home in the redwoods!

We loved everything about our stay in this house! It is spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped, and the location couldn’t be better-in the middle of a redwood forest, one mile from the coast, and 10 minute drive to Mendocino.
