About this house rental

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.

Loved the entire experience! Beds are comfortable. Shower water pressure, great. Entire home and grounds are very clean. Enjoyed the backyard immensely, at night, by the fire and stars. Was just as enjoyable and relaxing by day. Watching the deer eating apples was a delight! Property is conveniently located to shopping, dining, and numerous activities. You can buy anything you need when you arrive, if you don't want to carry a bunch of stuff from home. The hosts are extremely accessible, nice and respect your privacy. Absolutely, recommend this adorable cottage with all its history.

I have stayed in many places here on Vrbo and this was by far the cleanest well decorated house to date. Host was extremely friendly and got back to me every time extremely fast, will be heading back 100%

We stayed at this cottage with another couple as a mini vacation. Fantastic location! The cottage is laid out with a comfortable living room, kitchen facing out to the property, and bedrooms with en suite bathrooms at either side of the cottage. We enjoyed sitting around the fire on the back patio which is reached from the kitchen, watching the deer munch on apples. I used to live in Mendocino and felt quite nostalgic.The house is a quick drive to Harvest Market in Fort Bragg for groceries, as well as into Fort Bragg for restaurants. We drove out to Ten Mile Beach and the Old Smith Ranch trail which is definitely worth a visit as it overlooks Ten Mile River. We will return soon!

Loved this property with an apple orchard … super cute and clean, deer visit to enjoy the fallen apples; close to the wonderful Mendocino Botanical Gardens: also had fun on the Pudding Creek rail bikes and enjoying great ocean views. Owners very responsive and helpful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful homestead property.

This beautiful property is a perfect place for a getaway. We were greatly impressed by the amazing story of the home. The home is beautifully decorated and well maintained. The host is very kind and helpful. A diaper pail was provided without request. We could not be more satisfied. There was a lot for my toddler to explore - the old water tower, the apple trees, the hammock, the old shacks and the deer. We will definitely come back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a short visit but we are now planning for a longer duration for another time. The owners proactively reached out and provided all that was requested. We had deer visitors during our stay and enjoyed the company :)

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.

We initially were unable to stay the first night due to a power outage throughout the area but were able to come the 2nd day and were extended the opportunity to stay the next night as well. Our stay has been delightful. The property is gorgeous, and the home is well stocked with everything a gourmet cook could desire. The property is close to town and it is easy to navigate to restaurants and to a Safeway store. The hosts were anxious to help us throughout our stay. This property comes with my unabashed recommendation. recommend this property

A compact but tastefully remodelled cabin is cozy and well appointed. We enjoyed it thoroughly with the kids running circles around the tank house in the yard. A 30amp electric car charger is a bonus should you need one! We will be back. Thanks for the nice place and especially for the photo album showing your restoration work on the cabin.

A hidden gem! This place was perfect for a girls weekend! The moment we drove up we loved it. The home is so beautiful just full of charm. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful!! It rained and for us it didn’t stop us. We took advantage of the beautiful water tower and danced under it , so fun! The location is perfect because it’s between Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Feeling lucky we found this place will definitely come back again! Would have given 10 stars! Jo you’re amazing absolutely appreciative of you, grateful to have met you, thanks again from all of us. cheers! Penny, Erin, kelly

We enjoyed the large multi-acre property, with it’s many rustic structures and water tower. While the property had a number of apple trees, we did not consider it an apple orchard. One morning, a family of deer roamed the grounds, before disappearing into the forest. The refurbished farm house was nicely appointed. We enjoyed our breakfasts on the patio, listening to birds sing. We would definitely return.

We have been frequent visitors to Mendocino/Ft. Bragg over the last 20 years. This is our first visit to this cottage and we loved staying here. The cottage was lovely. It is everything the photos show and more. The kitchen well supplied. The bed had wonderful linens and we found very comfortable. The bathrooms had great towels. The owners binder gave you great information about the cottage and also provided many recommendations if you are new to the area. The backyard I enjoyed thoroughly. It a was beautiful and peaceful respite full of apple trees. I enjoyed sitting out there reading a book and drinking a glass of wine and received an occasional visit from the deer. It was just what we needed. Communication with Jo the owner was easy. Thank you Jo for your wonderful cottage.
