The cottage was perfect for us!…We were traveling with long time friends who loved the property…He is a photo buff and really enjoyed a couple of hikes! It was a great competitive value for Mendocino!

Beautiful property, thoughtful owners
This property is along a road/driveway that has a few more houses - great for multiple groups that want to be close but not share the same house. There is beautiful hiking directly off the property and it's close to all the things we wanted to do. The owner was also super gracious - a freak storm hit the area and all the power went out (including WiFi) and roads were shut down (rare) - he helped us from afar by texting regular updates and helping us navigate our way home (w/o gps). It was a once in a lifetime storm and could have been scary but the property owner went above and beyond so we felt safe. A strange trip and a testament to the kindness and attentiveness of the owners. We will visit again.

Nicely remodeled cottage, private and comfortable. Had good interaction with the owner when we had a problem with the plug in heaters. Between Mendocino and Ft. Bragg so were able to drive to both. For the next renters, don't forget to bring your own bathing soap and shampoo. I assumed it was supplied as is usually the case, but it was written in the instructions which I did not read carefully.

peaceful getaway close to town and beautiful hikes and scenery
The cottage was perfect. Spacious living area and well equipped kitchen. The surrounding property was fun to explore with all the trails and ponds. Quiet and serene. I love the beautiful, rugged coastline, tall trees and cool spots to hike. The Mendocino Botanical gardens were incredible.

Great place
This was my first vacation rental home, and it was absolutely the best experience. We will definitely stay here again vs the hotels.

Nice clean little house
We spent the weekend in the Ft Bragg Mendocino area doing all the usual stuff, avoiding the heat of the Valley.

Perfect cottage stay
The cottage is exactly as photographed and described. Excellent location to all things of Mendocino and Fort Bragg. All necessities (extra blankets, towels, kitchen items, heaters, fans, etc) are provided. I appreciated the restaurant and attraction information. We hiked the property in late afternoon. Be cautious of the many banana slugs on the trail. If we visit this area again, i would surely choose this property.

Beautiful scenic location
What we liked: *The cabin was beautifully clean - probably the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in - big thanks to the housekeeping team. *The setting is one of a kind - you have a pond, meadow and forest to explore and you have them all to yourselves. It's great if you like nature photography. *Great communication from our host - there were power outages across the area two days into our stay and he responded to text messages promptly. Good to know: *We were there in March so we caught the tail end of the cold, wet weather. The stove heats the central lounge well, but the bedrooms got really cold at night, especially the twin. (There were space heaters but we preferred not to run them while we were sleeping. With hindsight I think we should have kept the bedroom doors open while we slept). *The cabin is a stone's throw from the highway. You can hear the sound of cars passing from inside and you can see them too if you stand by the lounge window. It's pretty easy to ignore but it might be an issue for some. *The beds are short. The kids were fine, the adults were a bit uncomfortable. But overall it's a great location and well worth a visit!

The Woods Are Yours.
While I had a bit of trouble, eventually resolved, with the wifi, this proved to be a fantastic place. The cabin I stayed in, Seaglass, is one of three set less than 100 feet from Hwy 1. Pines and firs intervene, and the sound of passing cars is not bad. Mostly, this is 50 acres of coniferous woodland with a large meadow and at least five lovely ponds, several of which lure ducks and a great blue heron. The paths through the woods are glorious, lush with mushrooms, moss, and violets, with spectacular Bishop pines and Douglas firs overhead, as well as redwoods, eucalyptus (!), and allegedly dawn redwood and sequoias. There is nothing finer than standing on the edge of a two-acre meadow as the sun lights up treetops then the frosty grasses. This place will become even better as a campaign to remove Portuguese broom (Cytisus striatus) begins to make inroads in this aggressive invader.
