You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Elegant farmhouse cottage on beautiful apple orchard

Modern farmhouse cottage set on 5 private acres including an apple orchard, 100 year old water tower, outbuildings and several majestic cypress and cedar trees. The home offers elegance and comfort rarely available on the coast. You will also find that any stay here is as much about enjoying the land as it is the house. Once an active homestead, this property is simply a delight to experience.

The recently renovated home has two similarly sized bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, a living room and a modern kitchen/diner that opens onto the south facing patio, complete with fire pit. The bedrooms each have a queen bed, accommodating 4 guests. 1 additional guest can be accommodated on a fold away single bed, which can be set up on request in either of the bedrooms. (Please request this prior to arrival.). A spacious patio links the home to the water tower, which offers a hammock retreat space. This is the place to watch the wildlife in the morning, or enjoy the sun setting on the treetops by the fire pit in the evening.

The house has been meticulously refurbished using old growth redwood, salvaged from the home during the remodel. Featuring many modern amenities, the renovated space still honors the property's 100 year-plus homestead history.

There are 13 well established apple trees on the property, from which guests can enjoy picking their own apples during harvest season, September through November. Each season though brings its own natural joys, such as the apple blossom in March, the magnificent rhododendrons in April or the foxgloves in June.

A washer and dryer can be made available on request for longer stays.

The property sits on 5 acres; the entire property is available to guests. You'll discover many different spots on the property to enjoy, each giving a different aspect of the home and surrounding flora and fauna.

We enjoyed the adorable home. It was clean and well kept. The home had everything that we needed to help with our stay. We enjoyed our time in the backyard during the afternoon and evening. The owners were amazing with their quick responses to questions and gave wonderful recommendations for things to do around the area. It was a lovely home.

lovely, private cottage

Excellent choice for two of us during our stay in the Mendocino area. Two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, gave us our privacy and the common living area and kitchen were comfortable and functional. Lovely being on the old orchard property and having space around us - and living lawn ornaments (a family of deer!).

My wife and I were back for our second stay at this property. Serene, peaceful and quiet. Mornings in the sun watching the family of dear munch on apples. A few blocks from the ocean. The house is charming, clean and comfy. We will be back again next year!!!

The large yard with deer, rabbits, cranes and other birds was the best seller. While the older stove and oven looked classic, we would have preferred one that worked.

Exceeded Expectations: A Perfect Blend of Modern Comfort and Cozy Charm

As they say, "the devil is in the detail." This place exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and personal touches throughout the house. We expected a remote old cabin, but instead, we found a modern cabin with all the coziness we were looking for. We love to cook, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The water tower added a unique character to the place, and the kids loved the hammock and having picnics under the apple trees. They enjoyed morning walks around the property and playing games. It was hard to get them to leave the house to explore the town. Loved playing the piano, which made for a great late evening soundtrack.

Tranquil setting

We stayed at the cottage because our son was getting married in Mendocino. The cottage had everything we needed to relax before the ceremony and to get ready the day of. We loved the beautiful outdoor space and even enjoyed the fire pit. The cottage itself was completely remodeled by the owners and is beautiful.

Peaceful homestead retreat

We stayed just one night, but wanted to stay much longer! The home is well appointed, comfortable, and welcoming. The owners did a great job renovating the old homestead into a modern guest home while retaining the charm of the original. We loved the hammock and swing, seeing deer in the backyard, and stargazing. The property is peaceful without being isolated. We had time to visit the tide pools at the Glass Beach and have a satisfying dinner at Sea Pal's, both close by. Communication with the hosts was good. We are hoping to return!

The absolute best

This is a truly special property. It was so beautifully finished that I assumed it was a second home. When I read their photo book about the process of remodeling it as a vacation rental, however, I was both impressed and inspired. This is simply a perfect property in a beautiful location. Could not have asked for more or better. My only suggestion for future visitors is to make sure you screen shot check-in directions because cell service and even data service are spotty at best in this area of the state. You don't want to arrive and be unable to get in without a quest for service.
