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.

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.

Mendocino cabin

Property just as described. Our family had a wonderful, relaxing vacation in Mendocino. Located close to town and surrounded by state parks and hiking trails. Would love to return in the future.

Big, beautiful, restful house

The house is quite large, very well equipped and in a quiet and lovely redwood forest a short drive from the ocean, state parks and the charms of Mendocino village. We (especially the kids) enjoyed soaking in the hot tub after a day of hiking or playing on the beach. The house was well maintained and spotless, and the listing agent (Vacasa) was easy to reach by phone when we had a question. We're hoping we can return here again next year.

Beautiful, spacious and comfortable property in the woods

We stayed with two kids (11 and 17) and five adults. We found the cabin very spacious, and accommodating. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable, and there was a "place" for everyone. The inside is furnished gorgeous classic Mission-style furniture. While the location seems isolated it's really not, with just a short drive to the main road Shoreline Hwy . There's a convenience store located a quarter mile drive away, but for major shopping you'd probably have to go to Fort Bragg 20-25 minutes up the road. We really enjoyed our stay, and wished we could have spent more time there.

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.

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.
