The Historic McCormick House (built in 1868) is the perfect place for a romantic stay, a restful retreat or a family-friendly get-away. Nestled on the banks of Pescadero Creek, on 3/4s of an acre in the heart of downtown Pescadero! All the local restaurants & shops are just a leisurely five-minute stroll down Stage Road. Coastal redwood forests and pristine beaches are just a stone's throw away. The space The McCormick House has two bedrooms on the second floor (sleeps up to five adults). Our "James & Mary" room has a queen bed and our "Aunt Fanny & Sister Beth" room has a double and a twin. Junior mattresses and a pack-n-play are also available. The two bedrooms share a full bath on the same floor. The first floor has a foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and a half bath. Guest access Guests booking the McCormick House have full access to the house, porches and adjacent gardens. Although it's somewhat unruly, there is a large garden that has guest access. There are tables and chairs for outdoor dining on the lawn, or enjoy afternoon tea on the wrap-around porch. There's even a swing (for two) under the old walnut tree. The house is surrounded by Pescadero Creek, with a wild riparian corridor - which on the coast means stinging nettle and poison oak - please don't venture beyond the more manicured parts of the grounds. Other things to note Some historic and other fun details: The McCormick House is one of Pescadero's oldest and most beloved historic landmarks. James McCormick was a local entrepreneur, who owned several local businesses, including a hotel, a mercantile and a lumber mill (of course). When James decided to gift his new bride (Julia) with a home in town, he chose not to build it immediately adjacent to Stage Road, as was the fashion of the day. His desire for privacy and love of nature is now a legacy all of our wonderful guests enjoy. We have a large and rather wild garden, surrounded by a riparian corridor along the banks of Pescadero Creek. The house sits serenely on 3/4's of an acre in the heart of downtown Pescadero. We think we have a little piece of paradise here - and feel very fortunate that we are able to share it with you! Some helpful location details: The McCormick House and the small coastal village of Pescadero are just two miles inland from pristine beaches dotting Hwy 1 along the California central coast, with redwood forests (Memorial and Butano State Park), just a short 10 minute drive away. From Pescadero it's a 15 minute drive north to the charming town of Half Moon Bay and 20 minutes south to Ano Nuevo (to see the elephant seals). Travel 30 minutes south to the tiny seaside town of Davenport and 45 minutes south to fabulous Santa Cruz for shops and dining and the famous Boardwalk. Some practical details: The full bath offers a shower only. Although there is a bathtub, it is plumbed only for use as a shower. The tub can only be filled via the shower head. Some additional space details: There is a new 2022 travel trailer on site, which could be used as a private office space or for occasional overnight guests, if you would like to invite friends to visit. The use of the trailer is only available with advance notice and carries an additional charge (negotiable depending on its desired use). ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Apartment (1 Bedroom) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115080000/115077200/115077112/7cac3267.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk to Poplar Beach: Cozy Coastal Getaway w/ Yard Alsace Lorraine - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=115077112&PinnedHotelID=115077112&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93210000/93207600/93207590/0c8dac89.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Half Moon Bay Vacation Rental: 1 Mile to Beach!
