Applegate Cottage nature inspired, artisan design

KatherineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Nancy's place was like a little haven off the beaten path. Super peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful surroundings. It was awesome to be able to be able to just sit in nature. It was far enough from town that you barely ever heard anyone else around. But close enough to drive to the many beautiful things to see in and around Mendocino. Nancy was a very welcoming and great host! She gave me tons of information in regards to things to check out on my way down the coast. Absolutely would recommend this place! I definitely hope to return again sometime.

Tree House 1 bedroom - walk to redwoods

RobRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We enjoyed out stay at the Tree house very much. We have visited before so were familiar with the location and the setting. We especially enjoyed the privacy and quiet setting. We made use of the BBQ one night to grill up some halibut we bought at the fish market. All and all we had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Thanks Anne for providing such a nice place to stay.
The studio features a spacious layout illuminated by natural light. A comfortable bed is positioned near the window, while a round dining table and modern chairs create a cozy dining nook. The kitchen area showcases wooden cabinetry and essential appliances.

TeiaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We had a great time staying here. It was very peaceful and comfortable! No noise from neighbors or the street made for easy sleep. The kitchen was very well equipped too. I especially enjoyed the short walks to Main Street and restaurants. The host was communicative and wonderful at every opportunity so we felt completely welcome and relaxed.

GUEST HOUSE in young redwood forest

JacobRating, 5 stars5 months ago
I am someone who likes to take vacations in remote areas in the woods, and have been to 10-15 different AirBnBs to do so. Carolyn's is by far the coolest and coziest I have been to. I loved the setup, with a nice living room with fireplace as well as a spacious loft with extra beds and a couch to curl up on. It simultaneously felt like there was plenty of space and that it was cozy and intimate. The surrounding area is also great with beautiful beaches and a cute local town. 10/10!

Poet’s Cabin

JimRating, 5 stars16 months ago
Everything from the turn off Hwy 1, up the road and to the cabin, was a winner from the start. Our host, Velina, was there to greet us & assured us to contact her for any concerns or needs. The accommodations are extremely comfortable and with the sun hitting the front, it stays warm with the passive solar. Lighting is good, the bed is comfortable and warm & the kitchen area with supplied utensils, pots & pans, etc were plentiful. More than enough to make any meal you'd like. For those that want to relax watching a movie, the TV is large with access to many of your favorite streams. It was very easy to feel at home in this large & spacious cabin and I know that we'll be back. Thank you, Velina , for a most wonderful New Years weekend. I highly recommend this charming and relaxing cabin.

Artist’s Retreat by the Seaside

MollyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This retreat is everything it seems and more. Brinda is kind, helpful, and responsive. The space is very close to the main road (convenient), but still set back enough that we felt peaceful. It's quiet, surrounded by nature, and serene. The beds and linens were clean, comfortable, and cozy. it can get cold in FB in April, but Brinda provided heaters and we were never uncomfortable. The kitchen had more than we needed, and the art supplies were just such a cool touch. Can't wait to rent from Brinda again!

Connect Artist Suite

IsabellaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Stayed at Stephanie and Pat's place for a long weekend and absolutely LOVED it. Very cozy studio on a great little property, with friendly animals and an amazing sauna. Short drive into town for coffee and groceries, and great place to stay to go over to Montgomery Reserve to see the redwoods/ access Lake Mendocino. Stephanie and Pat were super responsive and overall phenomenal hosts. Perfect place to escape for a few days and would happily come back here!

Private Studio Near Local Hospital

ArielRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
So the thing is we made a reservation and had to cancel because my husband got kidney stones. We didn’t have travel insurance unfortunately so it was a big economic loss. Nevertheless Liz was so patient as I went back and forth with “we’re coming” “no we’re not coming” “yes we’re coming” “no we can’t” and anyone but a saint or a nurse (which she is; maybe both) would have wanted to kill me. I am going to make that trip after all and she reduced the price for us considering everything. She sure didn’t have to do that. People can be good and generous and righteous. Liz is one of the keepers. Do I can’t say much about the place. But I can say that LIz ROCKS!

The Getchell Cottage on the California Coast

MeganRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Mary was a wonderful host - greeted us with flowers and firewood when we arrived and invited our kids to come pick pears and strawberries with her (which were delicious) but also respected our space and privacy. There was a box of toys when we arrived and the fold-out sofa was all set up for the little ones. The house has a kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals and really nice-smelling soaps. The property overlooks the ocean and you can whale watch ten feet from the cabin's front door. (There are also redwoods and we saw two deer on the property, along with chickens and an extremely chill cat.) If you haven't been to the Mendocino coast you're in for a real treat - just mile after mile of gorgeous hikes and beaches, with cute towns in either direction. Highly recommended.

Zen Jewel Sanctuary

YasarRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My stay was excellent, and I would try the same place again if I visit Medicino. A wonderful cottage for vacations with the kids. However, there was no privacy in the bedroom - one circular window had no curtain or any cover. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Medicino.

Charming Seaside Holiday House

MargaretRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Brinda is an excellent host! From the moment I booked our stay she was responsive to questions and had great suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. She was proactive in fixing the water issue in the shower before we arrived so the initial warning about slow heating of the water was not needed. There were little details like bottles of water, coffees, teas, extra toothbrushes, shampoos and shower gel that made this place stand out compared to some other places we have stayed. There was a good selection of books and art supplies and a nice table for dining or crafting. The beds and sofa and armchair were all comfortable, just enough for all three of us to be comfortable but cozy so we were not yelling at each other across large spaces. We did not get a chance to use the fire pit or chairs outdoors but they looked great for when the weather gets a little warmer. Communication during our stay was excellent through the app, Brinda answered quickly. Very quiet but close to Hwy 1.
