Sobre esta propriedade

Northbound Whale - Beautifully restored turn of the century charmer

Perched above Van Damme Beach, just outside the village of Mendocino, this light filled beautifully restored 1863 gem, will delight you. There are two bedrooms upstairs (1 king, 1 queen) along with a Captains bed (full) and a half bath. The master bedroom provides a great ocean view, with sounds of the Pacific to lull you to sleep.

On the main floor is the kitchen, living room, large bathroom/laundry room and the sun room.

The kitchen is spacious with a 9' table that comfortably seats 10. There is also an island that provides for more intimate dining. The downstairs bedroom has two twin beds that look out to the ocean with honeysuckle and rose bushes at your windows. There is a large bathroom/laundry room with a claw foot tub bath/shower combination.

The living room is light and bright with an impressive masonry fireplace that warms both the downstairs and upstairs.
The sun room is at the front of the house, facing the ocean with wicker chairs to read, knit or watch the waves roll in.
Just behind the house, is a trail that leads to some of the most beautiful bluffs and views, along the Pacific. Just down the lane, is a short trail to Van Damme Beach. The location, along with the recent beautiful restoration of this coastal gem, provide for a magical get-a-way.

The 1863 Victorian home and the environs are perfect in every way. The beautifully remodeled home is consistent and beautiful in its interior design from furnishings, color pallet, adornments, patterned fabric to the floor coverings. The kitchen has all that is needed to make and bake from mixers, utensils, bowls and dishes. It stays warm inside with a gas fireplace that keeps the house toasty or turn it off and don a sweater. And yes, the beds are comfortable.We loved the easy access and twisted trail down to Van Damme beach and the Spring Ranch Trail behind the house with its 20 minute hike to a cliff overlook to the rocks and basking seals. Be aware the closest access to the Spring Ranch Trail behind the house is blocked off by a neighbor’s large gate and fence yet there is access around the corner on the other side of the inn around the corner on Rte. 1.The host leaves a comprehensive visit guide with all sorts of helpful information for the guest.Lastly, the home’s location is convenient to the anywhere you’d like to reach along the coast. On our short stay we enjoyed our hike and visit to Pt Cabrillo Lighthouse, exploring Mendocino and Gualala.At the Northbound Whale the visitor truly feels like a welcomed guest.

We enjoyed a short but very enjoyable stay at the Northbound Whale, thanks Lori! The house is so cozy and welcoming, we felt right at home. The beach is literally down the sandy trail, and there’s lots to do in the surrounding areas. We’d love to visit again.

You Won’t Want To Leave!

This is such a special beach cottage. It is so cute and cozy! It’s beautifully decorated but not in a pretentious way. It feels like home and feels like a beach home. All the furniture is comfortable and makes you want to stay home by the fire and relax. The upstairs beds are super comfortable and gorgeous! I can’t speak to the downstairs beds but the bedroom is so sweet. So much love went into decorating these rooms to make it feel homey. The captains bed in the upstairs hall was adorable! I loved the selection of books and movies in there.I also appreciated the eco conscious choices in products and the well stocked kitchen. Bbq and fireplace both worked great. And I loved my soak in the clawfoot tub! The trail down to the beach is close by and not steep at all. It is a bit overgrown right now so be prepared for that. I had a hard time leaving this cottage, glad we had one foggy morning to enjoy coffee by the fire. With blue skies we sat in the sun room to enjoy the sea view through the pink roses. Gorgeous! Everyone in my family loved this choice. Even my teenager!

Wonderful Women’s getaway

Northbound Whale House was the perfect place for for 5 women friends, who have been friends from college days since 1976! The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed in amenities and plenty of bedrooms, including comfortable beds! We will definitely rent from Lori and Dan again!

Exceeded our Very High Expectations

I recently stayed in this home with my 90-year-old mother and my three siblings, and we couldn't have been more delighted with it. All five of us had our own private space to sleep in, with my brother taking the lovely little glassed-in front porch. What a bonus that was for five very set-in-our-sleeping-ways oldsters. The clearly new kitchen/dining area offered us the perfect hub -- oversized island, high ceilings, generous dining table, multiple windows with stellar views, and more cooking amenities and than my own home, not to mention any other house I've rented. The quiet country lane that this house sits on is beyond idyllic - in full view of the glorious Mendocino coast. The trail to the bluffs in back of the house is another bonus. And the owner of the house was a gem in every way -- responsive, helpful and generally lovely. I realize this sounds like an ad. I'm just a regular renter who is old enough to have stayed in dozens of rental properties, which I am notoriously particular about choosing. Doesn't get better than this one.

Loved it!!

Overall 5 star rating. Super comfy, nicely decorated, had everything we needed. If I was to split hairs, it would have been nice to have some type of container in the shower to put shampoo, soap, etc…. There was nothing there so it made showering a little inconvenient. When it warms up in the afternoon, it would have been nice if there were screens on the entryways as well as the kitchen window. Just food for thought, but we loved our stay!

Wonderful House - But Beware...

We loved the house and our stay. The house was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. BUT, the main bathroom tub/shower is not good for anyone who is unsteady or has difficulty getting in and out of a raised elevated tub. There is no grab bar and the high shower head and hand held shower wand are not the best. The owners should install a new shower head and at least one or more grab bars. Or, better yet, replace the tub. Also, we assume the brown water coming out of the faucets was safe to use for teeth washing but not for other uses. Having the large 5 gallon water dispenser was great but a sign about the water service would have been helpful.

Cute and very comfortable- loved the location

This is such a charming spot to stay! We were super comfortable and enjoyed the fireplace on chilly mornings and the sunroom during the afternoons. It was well stocked with anything you’d need. We also loved the proximity to the beach - a quick walk to little river beach. We also could have easily walked to Vanne Dam park (next time!) It was lovely to hear the ocean from the house and wake up to the birds. Felt very private and quiet. The backyard had great outdoor furniture - lots of spots to relax and grill. Thanks and hope to be back!

Quiet Location

Charming home tucked off the main road. The kitchen, master and family room/sun room were great. However, we felt that the bathroom conditions were a bit off. One shower/tub for four adults combined with a very ,very small upstairs bathroom with no space for toiletries was the only downside. But, overall we had a great time albeit a short visit.

Beautiful Little River House

My bother and I spent time in this area when we were teen agers, loving the State Park at Van Damme and the lush beaches and headlands around the area. The town of Mendocino is a short two mile drive away for groceries and a charming walk around a beautiful, legendary town. This house would be wonderful for a family or friends to share! Loved it. Was up and down to the beach on the delightful trail across from the house at 7:00 am.

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay at The Northbound Whale. There are many VRBO choices in the area. We felt this one felt much more like a friend's home than a rental--very nicely furnished and equipped. The location on a quiet lane above Van Damme Beach and close to Mendocino is great. We also had an opportunity to speak to our host and found her to be charming and helpful.

August 2021 stay

The location is wonderful. You can walk to the ocean or do a 10 min drive to an amazing hike. The house is adorable. Decorated to perfection. It’s very cute. Super cozy and beautiful. There was no key when we arrived. We contacted the owner who did not respond for hours. She stated she was traveling. Which is understandable however in that case since she is running a lucrative business with her rental, she should appoint someone else for renters to contact . I had my baby with me and my fil who has brain cancer. We couldn’t stand outside in the cold for hours waiting for a key. My husband eventually found and open window and crawled through. Thank goodness there was no alarm. Another con was that we wanted to BBQ in her very cute outdoor area but there was no propane. Lastly she let me know after we booked and paid that we weren’t allowed to take a bath because of the drought and she went so far as to remove the drain stopper in the tub. We have a 2 year old who needed a bath. Overall it’s a great place however I do believe those small things could be improved.

We had a great time at the Northbound Whale. The house was absolutely lovely. Our 4.5 year old daughter especially loved the captain's bed. We had some hiccups with the home not being ready when we arrived, but overall we had a wonderful time and hope to visit the Northbound Whale again!

It was charming. Although built in 1863, the house was modernized and decorated beautifully. The sun porch with a view of the ocean was the perfect place for a cup of coffee in the morning!

I thank the property owner very much for a most delightful, comfortable stay in a most beautiful setting. We had a family gathering and enjoyed the beauty and charm of the house, which is so conveniently located within a short walk to the beach and so close to the restaurants and shops in Mendocino.. The house was filled with nice amenities and was so clean. We will definitely want to come back!!

Charming House

We enjoyed every moment in this charming Little River home celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary with our 2 children (12 and 14) and my mom. After a couple nights in a hotel in San Francisco, we were grateful for our own separate spaces with wonderful options to gather for meals and games. A great location for day trips. Evenings were spent making meals and enjoying the peaceful home both inside and out. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We recommend!

Fabulous week at the Northbound Whale

My family had a lovely week staying at the Northbound Whale. The house accommodated us beautifully with a large kitchen, comfortable beds, and perfect extras for a relaxing time -- we enjoyed the puzzles and games and movies in the house. Most of all, this house is located within an easy walk of the beach at Van Damme State Park, where we paddled and snorkled and enjoyed quiet beach walks, and bluff trails that overlook a beautiful rugged coastline with oyster catchers and seals and sea palms. My parents, my husband, and my kids all congratulated me on finding such a wonderful place to stay.

Ocean Retreat

We had a wonderful time at the northbound whale. The house is beautiful, there is a lovely ocean view from the back side of the house and an awesome trail that leads right down to the ocean front. Could not have asked for a nicer place. My only suggestion is to trim the bushes so there is a better ocean view from the sunroom.
