Quiet Cabin on 5 Acres Minutes From Mendocino and Ocean

This 700 square foot cabin is located on 5 secluded acres and was designed and built entirely by the owners. The cabin includes many special touches such as open beamed ceilings milled with local redwood. The cabin has tons of natural light. A gas stove provides cozy heat and ambiance with the push of a button. There are also electric heaters in the bedroom and bathroom for additional warmth.

Enjoy a hot outdoor shower for two, an indoor claw foot bathtub and a compact yet full kitchen. The bedroom is outfitted with a Queen bed. There is also a twin bed which is perfect for kids. The bedroom is situated on the upper floor with treetop and sky views. The bathroom and main living area is below and opens to redwood deck with outdoor seating. Please note the flight of stairs between the bedroom and bathroom.

We are very kid friendly. Let us know and we will get out our trikes and cars for your child.

Jackson State Forest is our next door neighbor. There is a trail that leads from the property into the forest and we will leave you a map. Located ten minutes north of Mendocino and ten minutes south of Fort Bragg and five minutes from what we think is the best beach in the area.

Quiet cottage oasis

We really loved the cottage, from the beautiful setting to the many thoughtful details inside. We had cool weather and the gas heater worked wonders. The guest book with history of this hand-built cabin was fascinating, and the owners greeted us warmly when we arrived. A perfect stay.

Lovely Cottage in the Woods

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at the cottage. Clean and quiet, amazing star-gazing. Very comfortable in all respects and great location. Not to be missed: the outdoor shower. It was early March, so I was dubious, but SO glad I got over that! The water pressure and temperature were amazing -- it was an experience that will stay in my memory for a long time, especially since my husband took pictures that will make it into our annual photo book!! That was a strategically placed rhododendron! We highly recommend this property if you want to enjoy hiking the Mendocino headlands and the redwood forests, plus eating at all of the wonderful restaurants of Mendocino area.

Magical

This property is a gem. So secluded and quaint. Well appointed but not overdone. The outside shower was a little scary at first but once I was under the trees in that very private shower enclosure I was HOOKED. It was awesome. Took a nice long soak in the claw foot tub. Plenty of hot water for a cabin and the temperature controls and kitchen amenities are updated. The owners were on site but gave us complete privacy. Thank you Jake and Lindy, was a true gift to spend our anniversary in your cabin. ♥️

Perfect Cabin Getaway

I visited this charming cabin with a dear friend from college who just finished five months of chemo. She is still immuno-compromised; we were looking for a restful stay near Mendocino where we could mostly cook in house and take side trips as her energy permitted. This charming cabin midway between Mendocino and Fort Bragg was perfect. Lovely tranquil setting and the ability to walk directly out into the Jackson Forest from the property. Tasteful decor, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a large and luxurious bathroom with a clawfoot tub. All impeccably clean. We were welcomed with fresh flowers and a basket of snacks, a nice touch that we really appreciated. And the hosts immediately answered our one minor question. The cabin is peacefully secluded but only minutes from both Mendocino & Fort Bragg. We bought organuc vegetables from Corner of the Mouth in Mendo & fresh fish from Princess Seafood in Fort Bragg & cooked in the cabin. A delightful stay! Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

We thoroughly enjoyed the secluded beauty of this property. The hosts, Jake and Lindy, were helpful when we had questions, and the information packet about the property and local activities and restaurants was great. We could walk to endless hiking trails in the Jackson Demonstration Forest. Mendocino county is spectacular.

This quiet and cozy setting in the forest provided a wonderfully restful experience. The cottage is well-stocked, clean and beautifully built. The furnishings are very comfortable. The owners obviously put much love and attention to every detail which makes this rental our most favorite ever. The outdoor showers were unique and fun. The location is amazing, being between Mendocino and Fort Bragg, so we could explore both areas easily. We would love to visit again.

Idyllic Cottage Stay

The property is tucked away and secluded. While we didn’t directly interact with the hosts, they were gracious and attentive, providing a welcome basket of small snacks and taking care to make sure the cabin had all the amenities to facilitate a relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable and the atmosphere relaxing. The property is directly adjacent to a state park with a select variety of trails, and a short drive to the ocean and nearby towns. I highly recommend it for a cozy getaway.

The perfect get away!

My 2 teen daughters and I had a wonderful time at the cabin! We had everything we needed, and the surroundings were so tranquil and relaxing. Jake is an excellent host. We saw him at check in and after that we felt like it was just us, with the comforting knowledge that our hosts were there if we needed anything. We all slept so well in the cozy beds. We loved that we could access Jackson State Forest trails from our door. The wifi was excellent and we appreciated the access to Netfilx and Amazon Prime. I already miss being there and hope to return some day!
