Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Spacious great room and south-facing patio in the redwoods. Large well-equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms recently remodeled. Mendocino is just a few minutes down the hill, but this open space is a sanctuary away from it all.
We hope you appreciate the quirkiness of staying in a real home.
Next door is our cabin (sleeps 4) if you want more space for a family gathering:

The space
The whole property is a large 70's style family home with an open living area. There is a master bedroom with king sized bed with private bathroom, a bedroom with queen bed, closet and shared bathroom and a bedroom with a day/trundle bed offering 2 twin beds, shared bathroom.
The living room has 3 sofas plus coffee table, television. There is an archway to the kitchen with an island with breakfast bar. The kitchen/dining room is large with ample space for cooking.
NOTE: we have a brand new special British range called an AGA. It is not similar to anything you have cooked on (probably). It is a lovely cast iron stove, but inside it is computerized...and electric. We love it because it cooks things beautifully, but you need to get to know it first. We have made an introductory video to get you started! You press ON and select the burners/ovens and it heats up in about 10 minutes. You can leave it on the whole length of your stay - in England that is usually how it is used - as a space heater and a cooker. Or if it is too hot, you can turn it off. The temperature is set automatically to a pre-set, and you just move your pans around to the burner/oven that has the right temp for you.
There is also central heating - a thermostat in the dining nook for the lower rooms and a thermostat in the hallway near master bedroom for upper rooms. There is underfloor heating in the master bathroom - the controls are on wall as you enter the bathroom.
There is a laundry area with washer and dryer.
The fireplace will be available as soon as we can install the requisite safety devices required by our insurance. Until that happens, we are not able to let guests use the fireplace.
There is a cabin on the property which is also available on AirBnB, if you happen to need an extra 2 bedrooms. The entrance is shared with that cabin.
Guest access
There are 2 office rooms in the house that are not accessible. Apart from that, everything is accessible.
