About this house rental

Welcome to The Lichen Manor, your historic coastal retreat on California's rugged north coast! This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom artist's estate sits on 20 forested acres just 5 minutes from Mendocino Village, offering the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury for families and groups.

This one-of-a-kind home was originally commissioned by world-renowned seascape artist E. John Robinson (1932-2008), created over 4,000 breathtaking ocean paintings and was featured on four Reader's Digest covers. Inspired by the English countryside, he designed this traditional half-timbered cottage as his coastal retreat: a space of reflection, creativity, and natural beauty.

Today, the home has been thoughtfully re-imagined by the current owner (also an artist) with yellow pine flooring, custom walnut kitchen cabinetry, and hand-crafted details throughout. Large groups will enjoy expansive common areas, hot water cowboy tubs perfect for starlit soaks, and lush English gardens with a koi pond. Beach access is just minutes away.

The Property

Surrounded by majestic pygmy and redwood forests, this large estate offers everything your group needs to enjoy the Mendocino coast:
• Hot water cowboy tubs are perfect for soaking under the stars
• Outdoor fire pit and gas BBQ grill for evening gatherings
• Lush English gardens with a koi pond
• Large outdoor patio ideal for morning coffee or sunset cocktails
• 20 acres of forest trails to explore
• Full kitchen with gas fireplace for cozy evenings
• In-unit washer and dryer
• Beach access just minutes away

Your Stay

Large groups will love the expansive common areas, perfect for gathering and relaxing. The property's peaceful forest setting offers a tranquil escape while staying close to Mendocino's coastal attractions. With sleeping for up to 8 guests (king, 3 queens, including sofa bed), there's ample space for everyone to enjoy their stay and recharge. The lush gardens are perfect for morning walks, while evenings are ideal for gathering around the fire pit or unwinding in the hot water cowboy tubs. Whether you're exploring the 20 acres of trails, visiting nearby beaches, or simply enjoying the artistry and craftsmanship throughout the home, every detail invites you to relax and feel at home.

Experience Mendocino through the eyes of an artist. This is more than a vacation home: it's a celebration of creativity, comfort, and coastal California charm!

Please Note: This home is one of three separate residences on the 20-acre property. Each has private access. Dogs are welcome with an additional pet fee. 2-Pet Max. allowed (Dogs only).

Just wow! Lichen manor takes it to a whole other level. This place is so beautiful and charming. As soon as you walk in you can see that whatever hospitality company this is is top notch. Ive never stayed in a vacation rental that was, not just more well stocked than any other place I've stayed but stocked with better quality housewares. Everything you could possibly need to cook, bake or bbq with is in this house. All of the rooms are tastefully and impeccably furnished, the place is delightful to look at and just be in. The beds were super comfortable and bathrooms are gorgeous as well.We had a small family and friend reunion and this place was perfect. I had no idea that along with the house we were renting about an acre of running around room. There's a big yard and quaint pond and a sort of garden maze I think the previous owners had created but let fall into disrepair. This place is beautiful but clearly still a work in progress. I imagine they are going to do something fabulous with the garden maze in future. I can't wait to find out because we will most likely be booking this place again next year. Definitely take the time at some point on your stay to sit quietly in the yard. You are essentially in the middle of the pygmy forest and on a sunny day it's so pleasant to sit and listen to the woods.
